Hitch-hiking in Morocco for many days with eco-squatters from Ouazzane to Tinehir across/along river, lakes, valleys, dessert, Berber villages and dunes :) part 8

2008.05.12















Rissan city on the desert with a huge oasis is definitely bicycle paradise as you can see in the photo. So many cyclists I have't seen even in Amsredam, Den Haag or Copenhage. All of them were greeting us with smile and shiny eyes ;)




One of the Van I was going with during hitch-hiking was lucky having no accident because somehow the front wheel tire blow up suddenly. Matt is a good driver and manage to stop the car without catastrophic results. Berber once again shown their helpful hand fixing and exchanging the wheel with their tools ;)



Gorges du Todra valley








Many of Berber were influenced by tourism and make profits selling their hand-made stuff made of stones with very old stoned animals inside. They came to us in the middle of dessert too. We explained them that we are not tourists and don't have money but we can exchange our stuff like mobile phones, clothes, tools etc with them. So we came back to traditional way of exchanging goods that is the direct trade like it was long time ago in Africa and still is in some parts ;) We were happy to have really great work of them such egg shape stones getting rid off the civilization goods and they were happy too living in the middle of nowhere ;)

Tina Super fotki! Nawet nie wiesz jak chciałabym tam teraz być, tym bardziej, że u nas pogoda pod zdechłym Azorem.
