Waiting for volcano

Story of braving a great ash eruption, flight cancellations, long queues under baking hot sun in Malian capital Bamako and discovering the best caffee in town that actually serves a proper Italian espresso and above all making it back home.

RTS: Yoff plage

Story of a simple stroll around Yoff, a suburb in Dakar, Senegal on my last afternoon in the country before scheduled return to Bamako, Mali. Discovery of a local gym on the beach, followed by a proper fish market right there on the sandy beach and all wrapped up with a nice cold bottle of La Gazelle in a plastic stool.

Joal & Fadiouth, Sénégal

Twin village of Joal & Fadiouth on Senegalese Petite Côte was my last port of call before returning to Dakar and return flight to Bamako, Mali. Discovering hidden gems along with friendly and chatty locals and miles and miles of sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches.

La Petite Côte, Sénégal

First part of Sénégal’s Petite Côte story, covering visits to villages of Toubab-Dialaw and La Somone written exactly a year after I’ve arrived in La Somone and started writing it. To be followed by a part deux including city of Mbur and twin village of Joal-Fadiouth.

Destination Sénégal

Story of trying to go to Lomé, Togo to buy a car and drive trough Benin, Togo, Ghana and Burkina Faso back to Bamako, Mali but ending up going to Dakar, Sénégal instead.
