OUAGADOUGOU - BURKINA FASO DAY 257 182km 14 -1-25

 PÔ TO OUAGADOUGOU    GOOD ROADS

Met with Marlon enroute, who is a guide here in Burkino  Faso and was heading to Benin to pick up four clients for a relief country tour. Had a good breakfast with him and sucked his brain and he gave me a route which I will follow, so head south west tomorrow Bobo and stay there two nights and then go south east back into Ghana to Togo. We had a good long chat about BF and then he had to leave for Tamale. Mark, who I las7t met in Dakar four weeks ago used him when he came here four weekys ago, so basically  the same route Mark did. 


    Never seen this amount of bicycles
    in Africa before, and lots of woman 
     riding them.



   Another recent truck crash carrying
   watermelons 🍉

Continued on and arrived just after noon which was good cause I had time to go to the Nigerian  Embassy and see the Freedom Monument. Went back to Shelter Missionary Notre Dame de Lorette, basic room, nothing fancy and there is a restaurant where I had fish and rice and cold beer. 

     Visa came through this morning !




   Taken in Ghana 🇬🇭 . I stopped and asked if I could take their photo's, and surprisingly they allowed me.
