3 MONTHS IN MOROCCO BY MOTORBIKE | Our first steps: Tetouan, Martil, Akchour & Chefchauen

First episode in Morocco! We enter Morocco illegally... We set foot on a new continent with Falkor! 10 months after our departure from Switzerland we are happy to finally feel a real change of scenery! This change of scenery that feels good, this smell of the unknown that hits all our senses and makes you want to go on an adventure! / -At the exit of the ferry, another check before arriving in the city. A customs officer asks us to open our aluminum suitcases but decides not to carry out a full search when he sees our exuberant pyramid. He still slips in the fateful question: “you have a drone” which we are quick to deny… / -And there we are, we are in Morocco! We are on the African continent, we are in Tangier! It’s our 299th day of travel and what better way to celebrate this new hundred days on the road than to completely change scenery, continent, culture, language! ./ -We decide to leave the city quite quickly and make a quick stop in Tetouan to find a sim card. / -Departure from Martil, we decide to take the RN16, the famous road which runs along the coast. We drive for 1 hour and stop at Oued Laou for a lunch break, but not only that… / - Elise guides us through the Talassemtane park. We drive to Akchour then Chefchauen in a setting that literally makes our jaws drop for more than an hour. / - Arriving in Chefchauen we are immediately under the charm of this historic city perched on a hill and surrounded by mountains. / -We find Élise on the central square of the Kasbah and let's set off to discover the blue city. / -The next day we decide to retrace our steps a little by trying an alternative route through the mountains. It goes up super super steep but the view of the valley is once again to die for. / - After 30 minutes of driving we arrived in Akchour, we parked our motorbike and went hiking to discover its waterfalls, gorges, rivers and magnificent viewpoints (and atypical terraces). / -The water is translucent and many bars are set up to drink mint tea with your feet in the water. We walk for an hour alone, then accompanied by a young local. The climax of the hike: the bridge of God at the end of the gorge. The spot is perfect to celebrate with our first Moroccan mint tea. / - Back in the afternoon in Chefchauen we go to stretch our legs again by climbing to the top of the Andalusian mosque which overlooks the town. The view for sunset is magnificent and if you are there, don't miss this scenic spot. / -The next morning, we soak up this magical city one last time and then set off again towards the South.
