Edge of the Continent

Hi,
Just a few photos to keep you going.
We're having problems with the internet connection here so can't upload more.
We've travelled just under 1000 miles since we last wrote.
We've stayed in Agadir, Tan-Tan and Boujdour and tonight we're staying in Dakhla.
We've followed the coastline and for the last 3 days we've been riding with the Atlantic on our right and the Sahara on our left!
Photos nor words can really do justice to the awe-inspiring vastness of the desert.
Much of the desert so far has been what's called Hammada which is a dusty stony harsh landscape.
We've seen huge canyons, vast flat plains stretching to the horizon and herds of camels.
The road has been great but today, we took the bike off into the sand and rode parallel to the tarmac, just for the fun of it.
It's getting late now so we'll sign off.
Take care.
Hotel with secure parking!
Rolling out of the foyer backwards in the morning.

Wildlife. And camels.

Playing in the sand


Where the desert meets the ocean.
