DAY 8, April 23
Boujdour -> Dakhla

After arriving in Boujdour, I had a few hours so explored the town and decided to make an important upgrade to the bike. Was just a matter of time but decided better sooner than later 🤭

Otherwise today I pushed about 400 kms down to Dakhla with constant surreal coastline views on the right and endless desert views on the left. 😍

‼️Fun fact: Also met a local guy at breakfast who lives on Tenerife now and I managed to get some insight on how the human trafficking works to the Canary Islands. Usually the boats used are stolen and it costs around 400€ per person, which is a lot more than previous years since police are cracking down. They usually have an old engine which is used primarily with a new one as backup.

I haven’t come across many people who have also been to Dakhla. Enjoy the views. Hope you don’t get caught in any sand storms!

Playing “The SIMS Pets” except this feels real. Cannelle is dog. Cruella is cat. I am mother.

Super cool spot, didn’t expect it to be such a kitesurfing hotspot. Seems to also be growing quickly with TONS of construction going on.
