At the morning I was taking it easy. Although I woke up early again, plan was to take some ferry around noon. First trial to get some breakfast failed, restaurant was not yet open as it should have been, half an hour later doors were opened but not everything was …
During the night I had set my next goal to drive to either close to the border between Morocco and Spain in Ceuta or into Ceuta. As I did not get any breakfast at the hotel, I had some extra time in the morning which I used to re-plan the …
Merzouga was the turning point for me on this trip. One of the targets have now been achieved: Seeing the Big Sandbox, Sahara and driving in the desert! Mission accomplished. Tried to get a quick breakfast at Kasbah le Touareg (yes, that was the name of the place), but all …
Finally managed to get breakfast at 7:30 in Hotel Perla in Fes. Hotel was quite nice, got a room with A/C, Wi-Fi worked well at the lobby, but not in the second floor. Hotel was near the train station and there was 24/7 guard watching my bike during the night. …
Day started a bit earlier than originally planned. Could not really sleep during the night so 05:00 alarm went off and packing started. Anne had also already arrived back to Finland with the boys and I had to clear some bank matters before I could leave our apartment hotel Don …
This is an early start, trying to catch earlier ferry from Spain to Morocco. All dark still in here, just about to get all the stuff into the bike and start riding. Outside is still 25 degrees, better than yesterdays 39… SPOT will follow as well where I will go.
Now it was time for the part with my family involved, swimming, sunbathing, sightseeing and relaxing. All the usual vacation stuff. First couple of days were just pure seeing where we were. Walking around by the beach and city. We also rented a car for few days, just to get …
Early morning wakeup, packing, breakfast and on the road again. No special target for this day either except to get into hotel on time. I decided to drive non-toll road A-7 as that looked to be quite fast anyhow. During the drive only noticeable thing was around Valencia, forest fires …
Had a small breakfast at the hotel, packed and to the bike. I got the bike parked behind the hotel and as expected it was right there where I left it. Still muddy and all… To start with I was not planning to take the fastest route from Bardonecchia, but …
As we were a bit after planned schedule, this was the only day for me to get onto unpaved Alp roads. Had some routes planned either by looking at routes others had driven or just by seeing from the map: Not all of these were unpaved, some were partly and …
