Episode 13 - Just in Time for the ferry - Goodbye Morocco - back to Spain

I left Fez and made my way to Tangier. That went better than expected and I was able to catch the ferry at 4pm. As I still had dirhams left, I accepted the help at the harbour, meaning I was guided through straight away and got rid of the rest of my cash.
I was able to do laundry at the hostel which cost 5€ :) that's why the costs for accommodation are listed as 25€ instead of 20€. However, I realised that I forgot the dinner :D that was 16€.
I think the wait at the harbour left me with a slight sunstroke. I couldn't sleep at all because of the headache and was a bit out of sorts the next day :'D Nevertheless, I was at the meeting point on time and had a great week ahead of me :D
If you have problems understanding me in the video it would be helpful if you could tell me where the problem is (minute/clip) so I can work on it :) thank you very much

Your videos are absolutely incredible! Your passion for adventure and the way you show us the world on a motorcycle are simply fascinating. Each episode is a true escape, and I love how you capture the beauty and diversity of the landscapes. 🌄 Thank you!

So glad you are safely back in EU… well done, very inspiring… Like I mentioned to you previously, I did Morocco last year, but with a friend. You did it alone! Awesome…

Glad you managed to get out ok on ferry quickly. Still not sure Morocco is on my list to visit.

[@travelwithevora]

@@esrider7765 thanks :) it's not for everybody

[@Nordkapp65]

Thank you for these videos, I have been dipping in and out of them because Morocco is on the list of places to visit. As a solo traveler myself I had concerns which you experienced. Think I will stay with the ferry to Bilbao and travel south to Ronda and enjoy the sunny south and keep Morocco at arms length for now. When I get to Bilbao it's always sad to be leaving Spain, for you Morocco was not that same place. Where do you travel to next ?

[@travelwithevora]

Yes, Morocco has some sides that you just have to accept :) if that's not for you then there are more beautiful destinations. Spain is absolutely lovely, I travelled up to Bilbao and took the ferry to Ireland. I'm currently in the UK and then I'm heading north - hopefully as far as the North Cape.

[@Nordkapp65]

@@travelwithevora enjoy your trip to Nord Kapp

[@gasman6163]

As usual you make it look easy for us armchair riders :-). top job. Shame about the "post" . Any feedback on how the bike has performed?

[@travelwithevora]

@@gasman6163 thank you 😊 yeah 😅 performed in which situation?

[@gasman6163]

@@travelwithevora in general, comfort, wear and tear, livability..... Or perhaps a better question is would you do it again on the same bike or something lighter?

[@travelwithevora]

@@gasman6163 The GS is quite reliable, I have a few problems with the suspension since the end of May, but the bike has a lot to do when fully loaded and has now done 60,000km in 1.5 years :) I think it's less the weight of the bike that's problematic than the luggage. But I can't really think of a solution for that. (The luggage has been adjusted in the meantime - you'll see it here in about 5 episodes) but any less is hardly possible. But yes, lighter is better - that's also what's on my mind for next year. I want to leave Europe and spend more time travelling. So I'll have to think about how to do that over the winter. Whether another motorbike is financially possible - I hardly think so. But I might have to do without camping equipment to reduce the luggage. When it comes to comfort... yes, the GS is wonderful and I'm a big fan of performance - I don't think I'd go below 700cc either.

[@gasman6163]

@@travelwithevora thanks for the comprehensive response. With luggage the trade off between hard and soft luggage is difficult. Hard luggage gives more security but soft luggage is lighter and infinitely easier to get repaired anywhere ion the road. That is an impressive mileage for 18 months! Make sure you let us know if you do a UK trip, Wales has great roads. In the meantime take care.

[@travelwithevora]

@@gasman6163 I'm in the UK at the moment :) still in Scotland but on my way to England/Wales

Just found your KZbin, excellent! What kind of bike are you riding? I wasn't able to tell for sure.

Here in South Africa they would get 10 or 12 people into that Mercedes no problem.

Did you get your drone back?

[@travelwithevora]

@@3goldfinger yes I did :) but i hadn't deposited it at the border if that's what you mean

[@3goldfinger]

@@travelwithevora Yeah, I was a bit confused, watching the video where you are leaving Morocco right now. 19:30 in Australia.
