yeah Marocco is the country for offroad, you have a lot of various difficulty when you want :)

but now i have to finish the RR from our journey in spring

at our Camp on Cabulja we had heavy rain and thundersturm over the night


Image

the cheap tent from one of my friends was not so waterproof :)

Image

next morning we drove down to mostar, heavy rain was over the town so we made stop on the wimbledon campground

Image

we took a room, later the clouds are away and the sun dryed our stinky - wet clothes

Image

cats walked around and one of them has stolen our sausage from the box :shock:

Image

i think it was seasoned to hot :)

Image

Next day on the asphalt road to nevesinje - and on beautiful gravel to Kalinovik

Image

Image

short rest in the village Ulog in the Neretva valley in a few years the hole valley will be flooded by a Riverdam

Image

hahahha excellent RR and photos, I'm amazed how did you find right track on Sinjajevina, but at the end where ever you go, you must go somewhere :)
Great, just great....

And I remember this part very well... :)
It is funny how photos can not describe how difficult some part of the road are...
