17/6/08

OK folks, this is our first time in a tinternet cafe and I would of prefered a english key board but here goes anyway:
We arrived in Morocco via Ciuta it was quite a experience clearing imigration, it got late so we spent the night at Punda negro in a expensive hotel, well 50 quid anyhow,

The next day we rode down to Katama which is famous for some plant or other, whatever it is shit they grow a lot of it, as far as the eye can see, we found a hotel that was not full of gangsters and spent a nice evening watching the footy with the locals;
Talk about culture shock, it was fine to smoke as much of this funny smelling stuff but if all you wanted was a beer it had to be bought on the black market, I did manage to get 7 beers and it was OK to drink them sat round the telly, 10 quid a night and the owner gave us a tour of his garden, very informative he was too.

Next day was a ride to the famous Cascades D,ouz and a night in a hostal for a tenner, these falls are really spectacular and next time in a cafe I will learn how to post the photos we have:

We then headed off to Ouzazeti arriving late so had to take a hotel in town, nice gaff tho an it had a pool and beer, good enough for us

Today was a strange one , we were in the middle of nowhere and we came asross a Berber guy broke down in a shitty renault 5, I could not leave this guy ; it was 40km to anywhere and 40plus degrees sooooooo, hop on mate to my already heavy bike ; when we got to his village we had tea with the family,
Arrived at Zagora this afternoon and found a reasonable hotel with pool and beer for 25 quid, So then folks we have 130kms of off road to do tomorrow, It should be fun in 40degrees:

Watch this space, I hope to post some really good photo,s next time, Pete an Bruce
