What a funny name for a mountain pass! Mr Test was a French engineer who was the first one to go through the pass, with 2 meters snow legend says. No snow this time because dryness is strong: it has not rained at all for a year and plantations are dead. Just before the pass, I stopped at the[...]]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:20:00 +0100 4292cb28464e4dad4f1d81a1f9446bec unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16985161-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16985234.html
I left yesterday with relief the coastal road where traffic was growing more and more approaching Agadir and I’ve redirected my way to the Inside of the territory. Wind has disappeared, pedaling is much easier! I realize now better how much energy I’ve spent during one month to battle against[...]]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 04:35:00 +0100 32ee654fc1cbaeecb62598db10a3fc28 unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16985234-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16985329.html
Yesterday again a terrible Eastern Wind between Guelmin and Sidi-Ifni. Front wind and Back one, we can manage but that kind of wind, no, it much more difficult especially with bags on the side. The bike is oriented on the side where the wind comes from and you need to hold very strongly the[...]]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 04:55:00 +0100 8387d7a47355cd5aa717a8533201ac48 unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16985329-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16985407.html
Wind has never given us a rest! For 5 days, I ride with Bruno from Nancy, who is riding across Africa from South to North. We can thus reunite our efforts with 2-km relays to battle this terrible wind, almost always front wind. This morning, it was even stronger and it becomes really impossible[...]]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2008 05:16:00 +0100 6456089f5284d8301f5a6411ae864bd1 unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16985407-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16168362.html
I have took this train one week ago to come back on the right way after leaving toward Atar in the North-East, the values of my bicycle traveling trip are safe ! Choum must be the biggest train station in the world, both platforms (one in Nouadhibou and one in Zouerat) are separated by 2.3 km,[...]]]> Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:36:00 +0100 aea8fc5e002c4f4a6b3c0a4944d3f951 unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-16168362-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-15884178.html
Such a burden ! this wind coming from the North-East is terrible, 10 hours biking each day and only 100 km done with sand every where flying with the wind. In the other direction, it 25 km/h without doing anything, smoking a pipe … I won’t be able to make it, one can be masochist but this is[...]]]> Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:00:00 +0100 9a2938bb20f4229f165557acd8d2d0a7 unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-15884178-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-15815126.html
3 days ago, I’ve taken a pirogue across Senegal River just before the night. I am taking a picture of people inside but there are veiled women on board. Argument with a man who would like to take the picture back, I feel I’m going to be pushed outside the boat. Ask forgiveness, my neighbor[...]]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 03:26:00 +0100 b9bc08cf869dc790b3b6a5038f139faa unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-15815126-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-15831091.html
The lion and the baobab are the symbols of Senegal, I haven’t seen any lion for the moment but hundreds of baobabs along the way. We usually compare this tree of 1000 yrs to an elephant, his skin has the same color and it is said to be as strong with his solid trunk which can measure 12 meters[...]]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:56:00 +0100 eed90f510ebba5b26c07fd484bb74379 unautretour-en http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-15831091-6.html#anchorComment http://unautretour-en.over-blog.com/article-15831252.html
Tivaouane, a Muslim city, 1st step before Dakar 3 days ago. I arrive late at night after fighting against the wind face to face. I’ve been to the police stop to check where I could sleep. Only one hotel a few hundreds away.
