Morocco to Merzouga

It's been a busy few days, into Morocco and a nice border crossing, £120 for the two of us for insurance. The good news it's about £1 a litre for petrol which is great! We are getting 70mpg on the Guzzis and therefore the ability of 400 miles to a tank. 
We stopped at Chefchouen ( The blue city) the first night. Its Ramadan so no alcohol and no food till 8pm, never planned that one we'll. Some great roads over a host of mountains, the only issue is the local taxi drivers are crazy, plus as the day goes on the locals suffer because of hunger and thirst so after 1pm it can be dodgy.
Last night into Arzou and a great run into Merzouga in the Sahara tonight. Its been getting warmer, over 30 degrees this afternoon!  This is a quick write up as I'm pretty tired , every day a minimum of 6 hours in the saddle! A few photos, I'll write it up properly when I get home.

    30 degrees, I could handle some of that for a bit but not eating until after 8 is not for me. Great looking place though, enjoy.
