2 days ago we reached our 1st waypoint on our way back 2 Swizzyland. We reached Bobo Dioulassou in Burkina Faso. Some 400 km west of Ouaga – very important to state: Bobo lies on the direct route to Laufenburg. 2 reach this important town it nearly took us 7 weeks and more than 5000 km. All a consequence of having chosen the wrong direction at the 1st junction in Ouaga when we left on 1st August. But now we’re back on the proper way.
Still at Lake Bosomtwe in Central Ghana we visited an Ashanti shrine and met the priest. Below Martin is learning how 2 solve all problems of the world.
After this rather mystical experience we urgently needed some change – we moved to the north of Ghana …. …. sometimes it was hard not 2 stop on the way, but finally we reached Kintampo and its beautiful waterfalls.
Next was Mole National Park. We needed 2 c all these animals u may only observe in Africa’s famous NPs …
…. we made a walking safari with a heavily armed ranger – and we really found a couple of elephants – and an even larger number of Tse Tse flies and mozzies.
After this stress of game watching in the evening a sunset as kitsch as kitsch can be …
… and a cold beer on the terrace of the lodge, called Mole Hotel.
Further 2 the north, on the way the beautiful mud mosque in Bole …
… and finally in the evening Wa, the northernmost sizable town in Ghana
A terrible road gets us towards the border and to Burkina Faso – a whole day’s drive for a little more than 200km.
In the evening we reach Bobo Dioulassou – as mentioned above principally the 1st town u would reach on ur way from Ouaga 2 Swizzyland.
We urgently needed some beer action in front of Bobo’s railway Station.
Next day, we had of course 2 visit its famous mosque, …
… and some fascinating street life.
Next was Banfora, not exactly on the road 2 Swizzyland, but not really far off. We went to the Domes of Fabedougou…
…and the waterfall of Karfiguela.
We knew in Burkina rainy season should be over – nevertheless we had 2 wait quite some time in the shade – probably another exceptional situation.
And finally our 6pack of the post – today it’s even a double 6pack, a kind of 12pack: West Africa is renowned 4 its kitchen, the multitude of different or similar dishes. But somewhere u have 2 have a place 2 eat them. We found a few of world renowned filling stations or signboards to current or future leading restaurent of the world.
