Alarm 6:00, poor logistics, nothing planned for breakfast. There are two apples and two bananas in the car, it will. Starting around 8:30 towards the port of Algeciras, arriving at the port around 9:00 am, purchase tickets quickly, leaving the ferry at 9:45, excellent organization.
Arrival in Ceuta, full of bikes, head for the border, exchange before the customs in 10.50 is not very attractive but we did not need much change and Dirham. A customs a facilitator'' crossing''of course seeks to take us by the hand, he quickly realized that we are going to fend for himself. Registration cards at the counter guy said hello and told me
''we know each other! -
- no I do not see
- But if in Tunisia with JSO.''
because I raided with JSO in southern Tunisia in 2002, but I do not have it recognized. By cons shortly after coming second guy I admit, it was driving a KTM, they are in Morocco with an organization and will take a turn in the south.
formalities are quick, installation of GPS on the bike is gone.
Road to Tetouan, Chefchaouen detour
where one seeks to buy something to eat, but it's Ramadan and the shops are closed, we walked around, found a bakery, two pies and two chocolatines (chocolate croissants for northerners) it will.
On leaving the city we fall in the market, we complete the purchases, sardines in oil, "Laughing Cow" bread and two apples, all for little more than 10 or 1 Dh € . We will make a feast.
Picnic on the heights overlooking Chefchaouen. ''Hey Patrick, it is ground, eh! ''. In the village of Souk El Had, left direction Mokrisset where we hope to find a bit of track to get into the hike. The trail begins quickly, doubling a column of Italians, 8 motorcycles and a 4x4, we see them again in a few days in other circumstances. The track is actually a road that has deteriorated in track and road soon revert to the view of the ongoing work. This track is easy and pleasant, perfect for a beginning, motorcycles, even loaded, remain easy to drive. The scenery on the Rif mountains are splendid. All this is ideal. After
Zoumi, we take the road to Fez.
On the heights before we stop to organize Fes for the night, I got an address on the internet forum in Morocco 4x4, call, application rate, 2000 Dirhams (200 €), oops is not in our budgets, the backpacker is the hotel Delilah, call, free room, ok we get. At the entrance of Fes we are approached by guys in mob to find us hotel restaurant guide etc ..., we'll look after himself, a policeman asked us to send dacha, in fact you will notice several resumed during the journey, the police can not not not know about dignity, so they send you somewhere and often it anywhere. After a short time and it gives you is guided by a mob guy for 20 Dh.
200 Dh hotel is not luxury but clean and the shower is hot. The bikes are guarded parking for motorcycles.
For lunch we identify an address in the backpacker, we take the bikes, and once again we turn and return to Fez, we still ended up finding the restaurant ... .... Closed. Back at the hotel, it soon 9:00, I have an address with a phone number, La Menara, call, the owner advises us to take a taxi to a small cinema where we wait. It is in this appointment, we follow in the medina, and after three or four corners we lost, there is more to follow in this dédalle. After a moment he stopped before a large wooden door, we enter a historic mansion, mosaic decorations in plaster everywhere, in fact it is a traditional family. Hassan welcomes us warmly, tells us a lot about Fes and Morocco, the meal prepared by his mother is excellent (pastilla), a brief address to advise.
For the return request Hassan its smaller neighbor to guide us through the medina.
The medina at night when the tourists are gone is to really see and do.
Suite ....
Restaurant La Menara
