A glimpse of Morocco from across the straight of Gibraltar. ~ Elle West and Jeremy Kroeker
On their last night at home in Alberta, Jeremy Kroeker and Elle West were still getting their motorcycles ready and already had a feeling they’d packed too much. The two Canadian riders flew their Honda CRF300L Rally motorcycles from Calgary to Paris, then rode south through Europe to Morocco. Their plan is to ride down the west side of Africa to Cape Town, South Africa.
We first followed Jeremy and Elle from Canada to Ushuaia, Argentina, in our Southward Chronicles series. Jeremy and Elle know what it’s like to live off their motorcycles for months at a time. How much of what worked on that trip still works when they load everything onto different bikes and ride out of Paris?
In this episode of BACKROADS OF AFRICA, we catch up with them in Essaouira, Morocco, almost two months into the trip. By then they’ve ridden into the Moroccan desert, where the track ran out with a couple of kilometres of sand still to cross.
