Only you, road and friends!			... And the desert around

		Oasis	The destroyed fortress - kasba at a slope of a hill.
Open spaces, desert,	Passing western wind	140 km a day time way-	- the sensation of flight!

Camp

Sunset in desert - a unforgettable sight

The freebie has ended, further there is one hundred kilometers of earth "road"			There is the Water!
Classical stony desert.	Such road, stones and prickles- the big loading on bicycles, our bicycles caught a puncture each half an hour. We divided into two groups of four persons that somehow could to speed up our movement. A place of a meeting – the nearest oasis, a point in GPS.	One week ago it was raining, a reservoir is a gift to find holes in our worn out bladders.	Morocco’s frontier guards watch over the border with Algeria. On a background there is an escort of jeeps: reach tourists are taken out to Desert. They feel well in the air-conditioned jeeps, behind the darkened glasses.

It is not forbidden to tourists to buy and bring with yourself in cafe, as a rule, but out of respect for local laws we spill remarkable morocco's red wine secretly, covertly, having wrapped up a bottle in a piece of paper.
