I rode from Casablanca to Marrakesh, it was a cold ride 17-18c, did not have my heated gear on and Marrakesh is at 460m altitude. The whole journey was on a freeway cost of tolls 70 dirham less than 7 euro.

The Medina or old town is huge, a tangled mass of alleys with people and donkeys and smokey mopeds dodging each other. They should rename it Marketkesh, shops and touts around every corner, you soon learn the art of completely ignoring someone hahaha or you risk acquiring an unwanted appendage.

I did an oil change on my bike while I was here. Buying good quality bike engine oil is always a problem, I managed to find a Honda dealer, this is the address.
