Climbing goats and sandy storms
After an amazing day riding on the beach we had to reach for the exit before the tide got to us. A challenging sandy riverbed that finally took us to a small road.
We leave Sidi Ifni in the morning, driving north east. The weather suddenly changes and the temperature rises 10 degrees within 200 meters. The wind is intense and we are surrounded by flying desert sand.
A shepherd is walking his goats and the the lack of food on the grownd makes them creative.

Taroudant to Ouarzazate
290 kilometers from Taroudant to Ouarzazate over the highest mountain pass of Morocco. The road was much worse then expected and with fully loaded bikes it was a great challenge. As the storm came closer and we moved with walking speed we prepared to spend the night at high altitude.

Broken roads
Chris and I took a route that led us through small villages and loads of river crossings. Previous bad weather had broken the roads due to many land slides and we had to go one by one through the tricky parts and help each other.
Children of the villages followed us up the broken road removing little roadblocks that they built, with the hope to earn a few dirham for their help.

Porque no?
It´s when you mentally and physically push yourself to new limits that you really get to know your self and others. When you spend weeks together, night and day. Through sad moments, happy days and memories that will stay with you forever.
With a tear on my cheek and a smile in my heart I said good bye to Chris and Jonas when they left Spain this morning.
A new fire is burning inside of me. Hunger to see more of this world from the aspect of a bike.
So ”porque no”?

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
