Day and night

Today is different from yesterday like day and night.

Leaving the hotel this morning didn't go without problems. Because of the bad service we refused to pay a (small) part of the bill. You can imagine the argument with the owner that followed. He even threatened to go to the gendarmerie.

In Assa they weren't too friendly either. We did 3 shops before having enough bottled water to fill the camelbags.

This morning I felt great. After the first 35km on Tarmac we were back on the pistes in a very remote area. Rocky at first, then full throttle on a dry lakebed.incredible fun, and desert as far as you can see.

We had lunch under a tree as usual, then more rocky tracks in the afternoon. We stopped at an old, abandoned fort of the french legion and had a walk inside.our guide Peter fell, but apart from a few dents in the bike and a soar knee, he is ok.

Our hotel tonight is fantastic. Ksar tafnidilt is built new next to another old fort, and looks just like it. Being on top of the hill the view from here is magnificent . I forgot to take pictures but will post tomorrow.

Had a hot shower, a drink on the terrace and as darkness settles we are ready for dinner.
