So this seemed like it was going to be such a good spot right up until the point they started the generator just as we were getting ready for bed. The noise was one thing, but the real problem was…
Time for a new country, let’s try Guinea (Stage 31)
Such a fantastic sleep last night – it was cool, it was quiet, it was dark, even a little rain on the roof at times – oh so much better than last night at disco hotel! Today was a pretty…
And then there were three (Stage 30)
An eventful evening after we got back from getting our ice cream last night. As we returned to camp Mateo came up to say that he’s going to be leaving the tour tomorrow and taking a bus back to Dakar.…
Squeaky, clicky, clanky and flatty (Stage 29)
Squeaky: it sounds like someone’s attached a cage of canaries to my front wheel – I think it’s the front wheel bearings that have got a bit dry, presumably as a result of their salt water bath last week Clicky:…
Guinea bound!

Not the beach! (Stage 25)
My bed didn’t prove to be very comfortable – there should have been five boards running length-wise down the bed, but the one in the middle was missing which made it rather like a hammock. It was also pretty hot…
A day at the beach (Stage 24)
It was such a treat to wake up with the sun, particularly since sun rise isn’t till around 0700. Tent down, bag packed and loaded, breakfast and now the long wait. Low tide’s not till 1640 and it’s only about…
