I head south WAY south—overland all the way across the Sahara desert through Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia to discover the joys and perils of playing street music in sub-Saharan Africa.

0263. The Beautiful Dakhla Bay (Mor 096--revisit)

January 10, 2009

Back in 2004, arriving in Dakhla after an extremely arduous journey across Mauritania felt like Paradise... hotels, good food... showers.... This time my journey wasn't arduous at all--it was almost downright relaxing...

We arrive in the evening when everyone is out and about... walking along the bay... eating typical Moroccan fare and drinking coffee... It has a definite Moroccan feel--unlike El Ayoun which feels very much Saharawi...

There's a bus leaving for Agadir shortly--and I figure I'd better take it... a bit disappointed that I'll have to rush through this charming little city--but I was able to explore it on my last trip, so I shouldn't feel too bad...

I do manage to squeeze in a video clip, a walk on the bay and a couple of songs....

Now, the easy part, a 20 hour bus ride to Agadir... Plenty of time to reflect on everything that I've experienced over these last amazing 12 days...
