Transit Burkina Faso towards Ghana - Helle Gammelgaard We drove the about 300 kilometres to the city Bobo-Dioulasso next morning. The city is located in the western part of Burkina Faso and is the second largest in the country with a very laidback atmosphere. The traffic was also less stressing than in some of the other West African cities we had been in. We stayed at the Casa Africa, a little hotel with cheap rooms, a cool yard and very nice food for next to nothing. We stayed there for a couple of days before we aimed for the capital Ouagadougou in central Burkina Faso. After one single night camping on the lawn behind a fancy hotel in the outskirts of the city, we drove towards Ghana. The stop at the Ghanaian border took a bit longer than expected. This was the first time during the whole trip that the frame- and engine number was checked and we were asked about what was in the car and so on. The change was evident. Not only the language, which was English now, but also the people, the colours, the houses, churches that had replaced the Mosques and the cars were scarcely battered. By the way, you don't change to right hand driving even though it has once been a British colony. |
