It was still raining as we left Marrakesh, but soon cleared, but was still cold till afternoon, mainly on highways until after lunch when we travel for several hours through some pretty rolling hills and nice winding roads. The country as we near Rabat is much more fertile and is green in comparison to the countryside we have come from, we end our day at a beach side hotel, next to the kings palace, where I walk along the Atlantic coastline of Africa and found the Titanik on the beach.
The police here have checkpoints at most towns and major intersections, but as we are obviously tourists (riding big motocycles, and motorcycle riding gear), we are just waved through. roundabouts are sometimes a bit tricky as cars will stop on the roundabout to give way to other vehicles entering the roundabout, but not always, trafic lights have countdown times on them which is good, but there is only 1 set of lights on your side of the road, so its not so easy to see them, and uncontrolled intersections are a bit of a free for all, but most drivers here are very courteous and with a little patience it all works itself out.
Its hard to believe that the trip is almost finished with only 1 more day of riding left.
