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.

Joal & Fadiouth, Sénégal
8 June 2011 – 22:02
Twin village of Joal & Fadiouth on Senegalese Petite CĂ´te 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 SĂ©nĂ©gal’s Petite CĂ´te 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.
An apology, sort of, I guess…

Ermmm, I don’t know how to put this. An apology is needed I guess. To you my readers. See while I was travelling many things happened to me and some of those I’ve shared with you. Some stayed in my head waiting to see the light of this diary. Some I thought I would not share for various reasons. And some that were in the making, drafts so to speak, but never made it to you. Which is a shame. Especially because the only reason for the latter was I came back home and was overwhelmed with other events, people, projects and ideas. Getting back into daily routine. So, maybe, eeerm, those road stories of mine were left lurking in the darker parts of my head waiting and hoping for better times. And it looks like now, 10 months after the coming back home, might be the time for them to resurface.
