Party - Blogabond

Phone call from Wolf Gaudlitz: join him in Guerara tomorrow at Kherfi Ibrahim's for a party with the whole gang that got me into the country after a cold night stuck at the border.

It's a 120km bike ride in the wrong direction, I'm hopelessly inept at parties, but I owe these guys a big thanks so, what the hell. I'll leave most of my stuff at Said's, leave early in the morning and travel light.

It will be a good way to see just how much freedom of movement the police allow me on the main roads.

I'll bike back to Said's the following day, and then head down to Tamanrasset. It's 19 hours by bus, and I think I'd rather do it in short hops, trying as much as possible to do it by bicycle. We'll see how things go tomorrow.

I asked Ibrahim Kherfi, whose wife maintains the religious dress code, if it doesn't get hot in there in the summer. He said "Probably".

Send a Compliment

You're just testing to see if I am paying attention, aren't you? I got a big out-loud laugh at work seeing me right in your blog. I am so honored!

Keep pedaling, baby.
