We are having good days, driving for only half the day leaves us time to stop and buy bread and bananas at the local villages, it’s fun to see bread brought to the market on wheelbarrow,

even odder that they are perfectly fresh french style baguettes, so good you can just chew on them as you go along. We also buy bananas and fruit which along with fridge porridge “keep us regular”

In a few of the towns there are very friendly Christian missionary places which welcome travellers, so we stay in one in Conakry the archbishops compound, and are in another tonight, they are little oasis of calm in busy dusty towns and cities, here in Nzerekore we are even treated to lullabies as the choir practices for us after wandering around town (once I had persuaded virgin to restore my email account which they keep shutting down to my constant inconvenience and irritation).


So a chilled day, just what we need before putting our game heads on for the border crossing tomorrow, papers are already organised, currency counted, exchange rates looked up and previous crossing reports studied

Côte d’Ivoire tomorrow, hopefully flag number 60
