                    <title>Settling in wishing I didn	 have to move on so soon.</title>
                    <description>    This is turning out to be a very nice trip so far and as always when I settle down a little I wonder whether I really do want to set out just yet. Even when I do decide i want to I get nervous before I depart anyway so thats the expectation Im starting to feel over the horizon. Beginning to cram all the things I feel I have to see and do before I have to leave gone were the days of wander</description>

                    <title>Manahattana etc.</title>
                    <description>It's been a nice first 10 day or so. I cold see myself getting a habit. First impressions first I guess. Crazy. Thankfully my fears of the border guards was not fulfilled. Though they were not the friendliest by any means. And I guess I was pretty drunk from the plane... good old British Airways. Great company too as me and the guy next to me had a great time chatting and exchanging ideas. He was</description>

                    <description>I was so excited conming here...more excited than I have been in a very long time. A new air company... Air Iceland... all so new. I got so many lovely insights...the scale of time volcanos hundreds of years of continuous written history almost no carbon footprint everyone we met has been so nice and helpfull lovely food not so expensive fantastic landscapes... and the list goes on and on. </description>

                    <title>Where's the british tradition of politeness gone in Ghana</title>
                    <description>Oh well I might have been expecting too much or maybe my better grasp of English was to blame and I expect all manner of reproachment for such sweeping cultural judgements but hey I can't deny that an unusual number od people were just plain rude to me in hotels street outlets and transport booths in Ghana. The country is beautiful to be sure and as a greatly redeeming feature the kids wer</description>

                    <title>a mini diary entry for sake of day to day life insight.</title>
                    <description>Today I left Lome the capital of Togo and came north to Kpalime. I struggled to find things in Lome worthwhile staying for. I went to a great sounding restaurant which was quite dissapointing I wondered arround everywhere looking for interesting architecture and I found very little.I ended up staying two nights just outside of Lome in this very eccentric plce called Chez Allice in Aveposo </description>

                    <description>Benin Benin a stable democracy and what seems to be a good president investing in healthcare and education. lots of NGOs working all over the placeroads are crumbling and it doesn't seem any much better than it's dictator ridden neighbour that get no funding whatsoever ok not looking at numbers just the visible signs. Granted Lome in neighbouring Togo is really not tidy if you see what I m</description>

                    <description>When I crossed the border by buss I was really positive and meditative. The hot wind blowing furiously in my face as the bleached scenery rushed by drenched in the strongest Sahelian sun. It was a pleasure  to see slight hills and eventually a valley in which the Niger flowed as we drove into Niamey the capital. This is Niger remember not Nigeria This is a country of some 14 million people</description>

                    <description>Mali the land of Gold and now the land of music.The time I spent in Mali was very short about two weeks but I saw a lot and managed to relax very well in a few places. I spent a nice 5 days in Bamako the capital a very messy but lively busness went to a cool night club very local lets say. Another highlight was cruising up the Niger River for 3 days on our way back from Timbucktoo a grea</description>

                    <description>Burkina Faso the former Upper Volta which was linked to Ivory Coast at one point and still feels inextricably linked to. We arrived though BoboDioulasso from Mali on a long road journey which felt like we sere covering the whole country but was probably the fresh wind rather than the speed as we only covered little more than 200km in some 8 hours or so Trvelling took the whole day and we</description>
