Merci. Thanks for sharing!

I read your report, fine. As I wrote to kktos I think, those tracks with a 1200GS and more alone, I should not be able to do it. Respect.
When you cross at Tillouguite, was the bridge in place ??.

Whilst the 1200GSA is brilliant for some parts of the trip--I did over 955 miles/1530km yesterday--a lighter bike would be a distinct advantage on some pistes.

Tres beau mon ami!! Merci beaucoup.

Well, my french is somewhat rusty for sure. I can speak it better than I can write it.

I was wondering; how much is a "cheap" hotel in Morocco?

ERIC DN · 02-19-2007, 12:46 AM

Hi
All hotels are not so cheap, but in our guide book we chose the most typical, the cheapest and where the owner was local. Morocco is not a rich country, so we thought it was better if our money was in the pocket of owners of small businesses
We didn't look for luxury
