Delicious and simple, as life should be
1 - Find a papaya (difficult) and three limes (that should be easier). 2 - Cut the papaya in two and get rid of the pips. 3 - Squeeze the limes into each part of the papaya. As much as possible. Don't be shy, a bit more! 4 - Enjoy and start the process ...
I predict a riot!
Well it certainly has been an exciting few days in Burkina Faso... there seemed to be an awfully high number of riot-gear clad police around the city as David and I set out on the truck to get a few jobs done... after ,managing to secure Senegalese visas ...
Croko et Crokinette Episode 7
... le pays, mais Croko ne le vois pas ! C’est normal, le pays a changé de nom et s’appelle maintenant le Burkina Faso, c’est plus facile à dire pour les crocodiles. La route est très longue et surtout pleine de trous . Croko se cogne ...
opdringerig is een understatement :)
Gisteren vertrokken uit Koudougou naar Bobo. Is vrij lang rijden, ik heb grootste deel geslapen :) Ik slaap vooral in de auto, want daar is er airco :) Onderweg gestopt en kaaimannen gaan bezichtigen. Je kan er gaan opzitten, dus niet gevaarlijk :) ...

Ouagadougou - Stadt, Dorf oder was?
Ouagadougou – der Name ist wohl das Spektakulärste an der Hauptstadt von Burkina Faso. Sonst ist es ein staubiges, wenig beeindruckendes grosses Dorf. Sehenswürdigkeiten gibt es eigentlich keine und trotzdem blieben wir 3 Nächte – der ...
hippos
Moved west to see a bit of the country rather than south to Ghana. That will come but later. Its a bit like a magical mystery tour really!!!!! No news on our friends but thats to be expected. Its a bit Bizare in many ways that we ...

elephantless and other mild disappointments
Hi everyone !! Well, we are back in good ol Ouaga after a disappointing trip to see elephants in the national park near here in Boromo - we saw lots and lots of elephant prints, but not the good beasts themselves. On the upside, we had a beautiful ...
This is all bizarrely slightly French isn’t
... ; Ben, a German medical student doing his elective in Kumasi who was planning on joining me on this Burkina Faso/Mali trip pointed out to me that the Foreign and Commenwealth Office now disadvises travel to pretty much all touristy bits ...
J'adore les motos bien sûr !
... the best idea. You live and you learn. Big up to Thomas and Pauline who helped me no end with the blasted machine ! Burkina is obsessed with motos ; someone told me that along with Laos, it has the most two wheeled with engine vehicles per ...
Super Frühstück!
Da die Köchin in unserem Hotel um 10 Uhr noch nicht zum Frühstück kochen aufgetaucht war, entschlossen wir uns auf dem Weg zum Busbahnhof etwas Kleines zu essen zu suchen. Wir hatten grosses Glück und fanden ein nettes Restaurant, wo bereits fleissig ...
Second coolest name for a town !
... but tours can be arranged with guides for a price. Praying in this mosque was one of the most memorable experiences in Burkina for me. I next took a stroll around the town. The centreville comprised of narrow cobble-stoned streets, with a lively ambiance ...
The careless and the bruised
Given I had seen everything I wanted to see in Bobo, I was now off to the South West of Burkina to a town called Banfora. Banfora is a sleepy, dusty town with no real attractions but serves as a hub to explore the neighbouring Sindou Peaks, Les Cascades ...
Home Sweet Home
Finally, an intoduction to my humble abode which I share with Aaron - an Australian who is also a volunteer; and his fiance Noriko from Japan. It has 3 bedrooms , a living room and kitchen - all paintd very blue - not our choice I might add; a ...
Boxing Day Hang Overs
Moved the tent yesterday so we didn't get woken up by Norma again. Lazy start to the day with breakfast again at 9am. MJ was seriously hung over and joined the Truck Chuck List by chucking about 7am. Lucky, Becky and Robby were still struck with gastro ...
Drive day to Bobo
Up for cookgroup and since there was no bread had porridge, cereal and left over curry. Left around 8am and headed for the Domes de Fabedougou which are huge limestone formations that look a bit like the Bungle Bungles. Had an hour to wander around and ...

Na een nachtje slapen op de parking van de Burkinabese douane rijden we op 30 november Burkina Faso binnen. We vervolgen onmiddellijk onze weg in de richting van Bobo-Dioulasso, thuis van de Bobo en de Djoula. Bobo is op zich een aangename stad om te ...
more disasters
From Banfora it was east, back through Bobo and onto Ouagadougou. (capital of Burkino Faso). Enroute we spent a couple of nights at a national park and went searching for Elephants. Not lucky however. Saw footprints and lots of Poo but ...
Christmas day
So woke up to Norma and Pam chatting in their tent again at 6.30am (not cool when breakfast is at 9am). Lucky yelled at them and they shut up, but didn't manage to fall back to sleep again just dozed. Eventually admitted defeat and got up at 8am. ...

le francais, c' est merde
