A Bike Journey To 'Ahouli'

On route

Ruins on the way

Mounaim was a trooper on our 100km ride...

What happens when you are tired
 We traveled over 100kilometers in all to visit an abandoned mining village called, 'Ahouli'. It was a cool place with neat surprises all along the way. We discovered a crystal clear lake in BiLaden where we unpacked our egg sandwich lunches to rest and enjoy the silence and beauty around us. We moved on to Ahouli where we found a river and a few campers. We got our feet wet and ate some chocolate to return back home before dark. We ran into a man selling fossils which he gave to me in exchange of learning English next time I pass through. It was a wonderful day. We reached Midelt when dark and ended up getting two rides from locals in the back of a motorized cart. Midelt, dark windy and raining, we stopped at a local restaurant to have hirira. I hope to make it back for a second journey there.
