On the road for ... 1 year, 8 months and 14 days
Clic the Planet to see my trip!
Next stage : SPAIN - March 2008
On Mars 15th, 1997, after skydiving with friends on the Moulin Blanc beach in Brest, I took my bike "Magic. 24044kms and 333 days later, I came back to my starting point. The earth is actualy round and magnificient. But it is fragile tto. It is not dangerous, it's the unknown that implies fear. I was specially touched by the russian welcome all over this huge Siberia. This name means goulag and sadness for us in the west but it means a real pleasure for me.
9 years left for this trip but I never forget. There is life before and life after. Every time I see a globe, I wonder how it can be so
small I can go round the world by bike.
Magic is impatient to set off again, it is now decided : we leave again on june, the 10th! It will be ready, so I will. We are A nous les grands espaces, le vent, le soleil, la pluie, sans savoir le matin où nous serons le soir. We are going to ride on this planet without a sound, proud of our wanderer's way of life.
What a beautiful city and
what a wonderful atmosphere! Lots of cafes with terraces and benches under trees where people discuss quietly, often drinking tea (the Moroccan whiskey !) at the same time, carriages tracked
by donkeys and horses, some women with veil, some without, some men with burrous, some others with jeans, everybody is relax and takes time to discuss. Morocco is really the country to experience
« travel differently » way. Come here with backpack and without a reservation is really easy here. People speak French but it is really different from France with its Muslim character
(no need of an alarm clock in the morning) and it is really cheap! Moroccans are champions for contacting people and they love speaking French. Tomorrow, direction Atlas! Tops of the mountains
are covered with snow and I am going to climb up to 2100 meters through Tizzi N Tess pass before a long downhill to Marrakech.
