Leaving early to make Ouagadougou before midday, we continue to drive one of the best, smoothest, most new roads so far — this one funded by L’Union Européene, it makes our journey from Bobo to Ouaga flow easily. The Burkinabé are extremely friendly and grin and wave, happily but with some shy dimples and slightly downcast eyes, as we pass through small village after small village. Mud houses, thatched rooves and bottle stands of “Total” petrol parted neatly by the smooth black tar, the neat white lines broken perfectly evenly, our forward motion causing them to recede into the horizen a white dotted blur, huge green trees casting large dappled shadows across their path.
Tomorrow → Day 25: 24th.March.2016 — OUAGA on a MOPED
