Thank you.
I'm also quite curious about the food in Morocco, Mauritania and especially Senegal/Gambia.
I will probably start a travel story as I will for sure be happy to share what I experience on and off the road. Then I can tell more about the food. I mean I could quite easily look up what for food they eat in Senegal and Gambia... But I somehow like not knowing already everything before a trip about the destination... The parts of a trip that are security relevant like border crossings and corruption is really good to know. But the cuisine... I'll just let it be a surprise.  Hopefully it will be a good one.

I had never really thought about that aspect of travelling - what is the cuisine like. The way that you have put it makes sense - you are getting the key logistics sorted out without filling in excessive detail allowing the world to wash over you without the things to trip you up.
This is one of the joys of the HUBB for me - people come onto the forum and post something up and you learn from then. Thank you.

Well, I think I misunderstood your first post then.

I thought you were really talking about what I'm going to eat on the road. Didn't realize it's just a phrase. But it's nice that my answer made sense anyway.

Ha ha. I meant to say I would be really interested how you get on - the “eat on” was from the dreaded auto-correct amending my poor spelling but not to what I wanted to say.

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.
