Guinea, views from the road.

Shots of our 2 days journey from Dabola to Togue, Guinea. The way was long and tough, only compensated by the feeling of getting closer to the region of the Fouta Djallon. With only one way to go there was no much chance of getting lost, however frequently the road branched off to access small villages and we found our selves asking for indications to go somewhere in the middle of nowhere. And surprisingly people pointing in a "always straight away" direction. We also lost some luggage from our poorly packed roof, showing our obvious in-expertise in the matter, luckily we managed to notice before loosing the big pack of toilet paper, also our only supply, that was lingering out ready to fall out. And, of course, after so many hours in the same car we had nothing interesting to talk about so we did the typical "let's-buy-a-chicken break", where we had to decide among a huge variety of options which chicken would continue the trip with us. 

Despite long driving times and very poor road conditions we are here, one step closer to the heart of the Fouta Djallon.
