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.

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.

Teberemt, finally…

Enjoying the quiet life without electricity, running water or phone network in small Tuareg village of Teberemt deep in Malian bush near Burkina Faso’s border.

Burkina Faso

Hummm, this is kinda getting a bit embarrassing. Plans evolved. Again. Not my fault I swear 😉
