BOUAFRA 508km Day185

Breakfast was included, Moroccan style was okay. I changed my oil and then we departed around 9:20am. 

    Onions piled on rocks, tthen on other farms they had straw on top of it then plastic.

Rode some long high passes with some locals passing occasionally,  roads are rough when you go off the beaten path. Going through the baron mountains was on gravel roads was most enjoyable and the people all wave at you, especially the kids. 

First half of day was great until we got up to the plateau and all the way here was just flat semi desert for hours, arriving in the dark again around 6:40pm. Got the only hotel in town (€30) , bare bones , tomorrow is another day !  

After the sun set the temperature dropped to 12*C  and we are at about 1400 meters. So will go to Merzouga tomorrow and the road runs right on the Algerian border for quite a distance. Where are no border crossings for Algeria, they have been closed for over thirty years, so can't go there from here.
