dakhla

sorry for the absence of updates. ive been literally in the middle of nowhere. from essaioura biked 12 days straight to a little town called Daoura > 1 shop, a few onions and plenty of dates. i packed my bags with enough food for 3 days, and just went into the silence of the sahara.

so so quiet and peaceful. was even able to, without the weight of the bags, do some off road biking in the sand dunes in the morning and at sunset. really incredible days.

since laayoune, ive been hitching and cycling. now in dakhla. next step is mauritania...

tip toe ing to black africa ///

difference between europeans and africans

for the past few weeks i've slept in people's fields. people have brought me food and water nearly everyday. not once as anyone asked me to leave; to give them money.

in europe, if an arab guy camped in someone's garden, the curtains would be drawn and te police called.

about to enter western sahara ^^ excited and nervous...

sunset

random camping - between casablanca and safi

easing up in essaiora

all well,

resting in essaiora after 8 or 9 days cycling. going to rest up for a few days.

glad to hear all's well at home,

am having the time of my life. loving living the outdoor life - so wonderfully simple. moroccans are like laid back french people - very generous and chilled out. am living on about 3/4 euro a day. biggest expense is water... much more than bread!

josef, the german guy, has a cooker, so at night we have rice with vegetables. life with someone else makes everything easier; stuff like swimming - which i'm doing at every opportunity. the sunsets and stars at night have made camping beat any 5* hotel...

found a friend

have made it south of casablanca. the road is good and the wind at my back. met up with a 23 year old bavarian guy who has come down from germany by bike. he's on his way to senegal _ so until then, we're going to ride together. he's even more relaxed than i am...

ramadan starts today. have to eat on the qt

have been cmping under the stars for the past week, and swimming in the sea as often as possible.

gotta run. will post photos as soon as i can
