That shot looking across from Gibraltar is one of our all time favorite cycling photos.

Ugh. And without a beer in six weeks! Brutal.

Well, I'd never considered riding in Morocco until this journal. Thank you for the inspiration (and daydreaming).

Wow! Cistus in the wild, how cool!

Fun, love your pictures. We take the ferry today and in a day, a good draft beer

When I started my ride in new zealand I was reading the Celestine prophesy....and intriguingly I would meet people and think there must be a reason that we meet. The best example is a bit off the wall, but in a Sunday paper there are advertisements for appliances every Sunday. Its only when the refrigerator breaks and you need a new one do you see all the advertisements for refrigerators....only when its in our consciousness do we see and then we call it a coincidence.

I also spotted Gibraltar under the low lying clouds looking south on my way to Jimena de la Frontera - I must have been looking right at you! Congrats on completing the Morocco leg of your tour!

Congratulations! You made it to the next part of your tour!

I love being able to follow almost in real time your adventure. I wake up in the morning and over coffee in bed (that Ilya has nicely brought me) I can read what you have done and given the time difference it's the same day! You are so dedicated to post each day and I'm sure all of us followers appreciate that 😀

Little did you realize then the adventures that you would have! How lucky you were to find each other that day in New Zealand. Since I've come to believe that there is no such thing as coincidence, it must have been fate 🥰

Thanks Bill!

Looks like some species of rock rose.

Do any of them still work?

It sure is. It’s a glossy ibis, a bird we don’t have in America.

Great capture!
