| Here're a few pictures of our adventure in Morocco, September 2002. There should be a story as well but Ian missed to complete it so far, so enjoy the pix in the meantime ;-) |

 |
 |
| |
| |

| We stayed 2 days in Gibraltar, last preparations for the desert. Then we took the ferry from Algerchiras to Ceuta. |

 |

Midelt - Sahara |
 |
 |
| |
| |
 |
| That's when we reached the Sahara. Our plan to ride from Baden to the Sahara without cheating (ok, except Spain-MA) worked out all right. Mileage: 3'020km |

| And the end of the guided tour, Andys accident. Good luck it was "only" the Collarbone. We managed with the help of our guide's family to bring Andy to a hospital in Er Rachidia just before midnight the same day. What a story... |

The High Atlas |
 |
 |
| |
| |
 |
| We crossed the High Atlas in one day and didn't stop until we reached Casablance the same night. I'm afraid there are no more pictures cause we were a little disapointed being "back in the civilisation" - and finished it as soon as possible. Ian and Kudi arrived save back in Baden on the 22nd, Andy unfortunately a little bit earlier ;-) |
