モロッコ奥地。未舗装と洪水で過酷な旅。

モロッコ奥地。未舗装と洪水で過酷な旅。

It’s September now. It’s 8am. Good morning. It was really windy yesterday, but I was able to sleep soundly in this gas station garage. 80km to Merzouga. I’d like to move in the morning before it gets too hot today. Hello everyone, this is Asahi. A 20,000km bicycle trip from the UK to South Africa. It’s been four months since the start. In Morocco, I cycled along the Mediterranean Sea and headed south along the inland border. And now I’m in Merzouga. If you look at the aerial photo, you can see that orange sand dunes are spreading only here. Merzouga is the most popular desert tourist destination where you can enjoy the scenery of being lost in a sea of ​​sand. I’m in Merzouga. A follower introduced me to a house where I could stay. The next day. Since I’ve come all the way here, I’ll ride a camel to the sand dunes. Is this the largest sand dune? Yes. The highest sand dune is about 150m, which is equivalent to a 50-story building. I was told that there was a sand dune with a good view nearby, so I decided to head there. The camel is surprisingly high and sways. The saddle has handrails for tourists, so it’s safe. The sun is probably on this side, but we can’t see the sunset today. There are days like that. But this view of the desert is amazing. The color is completely different from the others. The desert looks orange. This is worth seeing. If you can see the sunset, the sand dunes will be even more orange. But there was a severe sandstorm on this day. I think this is also a rare view of the desert. And here is another thing I wanted to do here. Camel milk. This is my first time. It smells normal. Camel? It’s camel. 100%? No mixture? 100% camel milk. It’s so delicious. Thank you. I’m leaving Merzouga after staying for two nights. On the map, it looks like there is no road from here. But it seems that there is an off-road road that connects to this interior. If you go in that direction, you will find the village where the person who introduced me to his house in Merzouga lives. It’s quite hot today, but I’ll do my best. A follower contacted me on Instagram saying, “If you go this way, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay.” In Merzouga, I stayed with his relatives. And from now on, I’ll be staying with his parents. It’s a small village with a population of about 200 people and 40 families. I’ve come to a small village. In the name of God. You’re welcome. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU. For dinner, I had Vermicelles, a very thin pasta, and couscous. When I go to sleep, I put my bed outside like this because it’s too hot inside in the desert in September. Imagine that. Sleeping under the starry sky in a village without street lights or noise. It was the best night. And the next morning. Let’s take a look at his work. It’s a small village in the desert. My current host is a carpenter, or rather, he does all the house building. It’s done by hand. It’s amazing. This is when we started. The first layer. The door is here. The second layer. Hard work. It’s like a big brick. How many days does it take to dry? In summer, it dries in two days. But it takes a week in winter. Everything is done by hand. – Yes. Handmade. Wonderful. Take care. – Thank you very much. It was hot inside so I slept outside, but it was very nice. It was quiet and the stars were beautiful. It’s 10am on September 5th. I’m here in Morocco. I’m going further in from the famous desert town of Merzouga. The road has turned to dirt. There are 100km of dirt from here. I’m really excited. It’s hot, but I’ll do my best. Let’s have fun today too. I met a French moto traveler. He asked me if I wanted to have tea, so I went to his hotel. In Morocco, this kind of dirt road is called Piste. It’s about 30km to the next village, Ramlia. This French person was the only vehicle I met that day, and I didn’t see anyone else. It’s a road that adventurers can’t resist. It seems like there is a road, but there isn’t. You can’t pedal on the sand. So I’m cycling on a slightly hard place like this one. What do you think of this view? I can’t believe that people live up here. This is my favorite road in Morocco, where I can only hear the sound of bicycles running in the desert. I ‘m almost at the village of Ramlia. I want to buy some cold water. It’s amazing, isn’t it? It’s amazing that people live in a place like this. There’s no signal, but there’s Wi-Fi here. As expected of Morocco. They also sell frozen water. There’s electricity. I think that Morocco is more developed than other parts of Africa. In fact, the biggest challenge on Piste is after Ramlia. There is a dried-up river called a Wadi here, which is usually deep sand. It rained in the Atlas Mountains a few days ago, and water has flowed up to here. I was told, “You can still go now, but if the water increases, you’ll have to wait a few days.” I thought that a 100kg bicycle in deep sand would be a very tough route, but then a miracle happened. Hassan, who lives in Jdaid, where we left this morning, said, “I got work in Sidi Ali tomorrow, so can I give you a ride?” I was grateful and decided to give him a ride. He came to pick me up, so we moved to the next village. Oh no. I’m stuck. (He reverses the car and gains momentum again to climb the sand.) Is this a Mitsubishi? Toyota HILUX. We arrived at Sidi Ali in the middle of the night and all slept in the wilderness. Originally, we were planning to go west from this town through the piste to the national road. However, we chose a safe paved road and headed north to the national road. This is because the weather forecast predicted rain from now on. I was told that if heavy rain comes in the middle of the piste, you won’t be able to move and it will be very dangerous. Thank you for giving me energy. This village has a nice atmosphere. It continues like this for a long time. The view is also great. I was right to choose this road. I was able to stay in this room today. This is a restaurant. When I was resting here, I was asked, “Want to stay? It’s free.” What does that mean? They don’t care about profit. Thank you. This is Tajine. It’s really good. Good morning . They also served breakfast. Wow. Amazing. Thank you. Yesterday, it was really windy and raining, but I’m really glad I was allowed to sleep indoors. I also had dinner and breakfast. What is this hospitality? It’s quite difficult to think about whether I could do the same thing if I were in the opposite position. I may prioritize profit, but I feel like I’m lonely in my heart. I’m moved. Thank you. It started raining, so I stopped at a cafe for a break. I don’t know why, but they invited me to eat. It’s couscous. Thank you. It’s raining intermittently as forecast. The rain around here isn’t that bad, but the big problem was that the rain that fell in the Atlas Mountains was running off. What the heck. This is asphalt, so off-roading is a nightmare. I was lucky because I was off-roading until two days ago. Oh my goodness, I can’t cross. Everyone is waiting. I can see land and the water level is getting better, but the current is still strong. Okay. Let’s go. Please don’t fall. That’s the end of today’s video. Because the trip didn’t go as planned because of the unpaved roads and floods, the help from the Moroccans was very touching and made this a memorable route. Thank you for watching. Next time, I will be helping Moroccans again until the flood subsides. Please subscribe, like, and comment. See you in the next video, goodbye. Yes, we made it.

モロッコ東部、砂漠の町メルズーガから奥地にある村ラムリアに行くも未舗装で思い通りに行かず、その先は大きな洪水で大変。そんな状況だからこそモロッコ人のお助けが身に染みて感動しました。

ありがとうございました。次回もお楽しみに！
