We met 2 german girls in Mali that were doing the same road back to Burkina.. so, we came back together until Bobo-Dioulasso, where they were heading to Ghana..

DIRTY!!

When we arrived in Hounde, after about 2-3 days without a shower.. What a nice arrival for Sara! :) Shower please!

First and biggest international get-together of this year's idsers!!! Hurray to the West Africa team!
