Day 75. Saturday, 4th March. From Hotel Berah, Yamoussoukro to Residence Bethany Palace in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Breakfast at Hotel Berah was underwhelming. Bread and croissants with strawberry jam and tea/coffee. Too much bread. We seem to have bread with every meal. It is giving me a spare tyre. Especially as we are doing little exercise. Got to stop! It was overcast and humid this morning. Most…

Day 73. Thursday, 2nd March, 2023. From Hotel Amointrin in Man to Hotel Les Tropics, Daloa, Ivory Coast.

Hotel Amointrin included breakfast in the price. It wasn’t very exciting. A few slices of omelette, bread and marmalade and hot drinks, tea, coffee or chocolate. It was adequate though. Adam had messaged us to say he wasn’t leaving his hotel until 11.00 as he was waiting for his laundry…

Day 71. Tuesday, 28th February, 2023. From Guekedou to Nzerekore, Guinea.

Leaving Guekedou We set off on a beautiful newly surfaced road. Not having gone far, we approached 2 groups of people standing on either side of the road. Suddenly realising they were in military uniforms and one has his hand up to stop us, we screeched to a halt. We…

Day 69. Sunday, 26th February, 2023. A rest day in Faranah, Guinea.

After a few days of being thrown around on horrible roads a rest day was very necessary. It is just exhausting, especially with the heat. Adam, having gone on ahead, had booked a room for 2 nights for us and French couple, Sebastien and Alexandra. They are travelling on Honda…

Day 67. Friday, 24th February, 2023. From Tata Hotel, Labe to Africa Hotel in Mamou, Guinea.

First thing this morning we were millionaires. In Guinea Francs that is. After saying goodbye to French couple, Jean Luc and Annie, I paid for our overnight accommodation and dinner. 320,000 Guinea Francs.  We then left for Mamou and shortly after found a gas station. Without much thought, we just…

Day 65. Wednesday, 22nd February, 2023. From Gabu, Guinea Bissau to Koundara Guinea.

Yesterday we got our knickers in a bit of a twist over who should be writing the blog. Having written a few paragraphs, I found Dennis had already written up yesterday. As we have been struggling all through Guinea Bissau with wifi, we were several days behind in posting blogs.…

Day 62. Sunday, 19th February, 2023. From Dakosta Eco Resort on Bubaque back to Bissau

Leaving Dakosta Eco Resort Dennis was convinced no taxi had been arranged for us. I slept badly, worrying we would not wake up, despite having set an alarm for 05.45. At at 02.30 Dennis said we should get up and walk to the port. I told him not to be…

Day 60. Friday, 17th February. Trip to Bubaque Island in the Bijagos Archipelago.

Journey to Bubaque To be honest I had never heard of the Bijagos Archipelago until this trip. A group of 87 islands. several of which are protected reserves sheltering various species of wildlife, including Orango, which is the home to rare salt water hippos. The islands belong to Guinea Bissau…

Day 58. Wednesday, 15th February. From the beach at Cap Skirring back to Camp Casamance in Ziguinchor.

The Beach We were woken during the night by what sounded like a scream. We presumed it was Els. After the events of a couple of night’s ago, we thought someone maybe up to mischief.  Dennis got up to check if all was okay and if anyone was around. Finding…

Day 55. Sunday, 12th February. At Camp Sukuta in The Gambia. Day 56. Monday, 13th Onwards to Ziguinchor in the Casamance Region of Southern Senegal.

Camp Sukuta I am combining two days as we did little of interest resting at Camp Sukuta.  In the morning we chatted to a young Italian couple who had arrived the night before. They were telling us about a natural preparation they take to prevent malaria called Artemisia. They had…
