Day 206                                                       10th February

16miles (around M’hamid) Average speed 8.1 mph Top speed 19 mph<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Up at 8 for brekkie with Marie Claude and Christian of bread, olives, omelette, date and strawberry jams and cheese, fresh oj and coffee. We chatted about their work and our trips and I waved them off to the Chegara desert. I went for a ride to look for campsites or hotels but the wind really picked up and I decided to stay at Kasbah to keep out of sand and wind. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Back to clean my bike and have another omelette, this time with minced beef and vegetables, which Ali made for me, delicious once again. I had a rest in a hammock but got covered in sand, my washing is all done but that too is very sandy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Washing – still sandy<\/p><\/div>\n

Then wrapped up and went for a walk in the desert where I got very windswept and saw various skulls and skeletons. I climbed to the top of a dune to get a better view and hide out of the wind. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I came back before I got lost, which is easily done, especially with poor visibility. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Poor visibility<\/p><\/div>\n

Then another hammock rest before heading into town to check out 4×4 prices to get me to Foum Zguid and they were asking for 2000 or 3000 which would still leave me with 70km of off road to do! I went for dinner, where I met Mohamed, who said it would also be 2000 as I wouldn’t be sharing with anyone. So I think I will be riding back! I had chicken skewers with rice and chips, bought some chocolate and then Ali met me on his moped, so I rode back to kasbah with him and had tea. Looked out for the lunar eclipse but gave up at 11. Maybe I’ll see it in a while if I wake up?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
