Leaving Sweden to do reconnaissance in Morocco

Today Chris, Jonas and Lisa are heading off on their journey to Morocco!

I will take the info from Lisa's blog and put it here for you to enjoy! Lisa's blog can be found here: Lisa Nordlind - på motorcykel i Afrika med Jonas och Chris

The trip is meant to be reconnaissance for future trips with Chris's company Explore 360 (there will also be updates on https://www.facebook.com/Explore360degrees).

So here is today's entry:

We are leaving today! Chris, Jonas and I. Three BMW F800GS motorbikes loaded with cameras, tents, extra parts and plenty of adventure spirit! =)
The ferry goes from Gothenburg to Kiel. Then we will drive the bikes to Hamburg, about 84 kilometers. From Hamburg to south France by train. Another 200 kilometers by bike and a Italian ferry to Tangier in Morocco. About 4 days to get to Africa.
In Morocco we have 2-3 weeks of exploring to do! Stay tuned http://nordlind.com/wp-includes/imag.../icon_wink.gif

We had loads of time to go from Särö to Gothenburg but we managed to leave in last minute and stressed away to the Ferryl.
After a bitter second place in the ”music quiz” we deserved a nice food and wine buffe http://nordlind.com/wp-includes/imag.../icon_wink.gif

Autozug from Hamburg to Narbonne

Heavy winds on the way to Hamburg. Pitstop at German Touratech to add some more ”just have to have stuff”. I got myself a ”cameltoe”…!?!? A sidestand extention thing so the bike will bea easy to park on loose ground. Just loaded the GSés on the Autozug and have 20 houers to go to Narbonne. Autoug is a train that carries cars and motorbikes. Sushi for lunch =)

13 october – First night in Morocco

http://nordlind.com/wp-content/uploa...43-940x429.jpg

We arrived late at night to a small village in the mountains. The camp site was closed but Aziz, a local was so kind to invite us to his home. He gave us two rooms with beds and chai tea.

The next day we experienced Eid al-Adha, a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. A sheep was sacrified to Allah and the streets were covered in blood.

After 3 days in Morocco we still don't know what time it is. GPS time, phone time, local time that seems to change by day… sometimes by 15-30 minutes…

My new bike is a killer! It feels small, fast and it really loves the gravel and bumpy roads. The weight of around 220 kg only shows when trying to lift it up after a fall.

A fabulous day in the Atlas mountains with about 110 kilometers. Best birthday ever! http://nordlind.com/wp-includes/imag...icon_smile.gif

Merzouga desert, Erg Chebbi

A quick note from Lisa

With a fantastic view of the sand dunes, offroad vehicles and camels passing right by I am taking a afternoon swim in the pool at Ksar Sania oasis.
