-------------------------------
June 23, 2004: Porga - Fada N'Gourma Our second entry in Burkina Faso is again a really hot one! We left the three coastal countries Ghana, Togo and Benin, and with that the sea breeze and lush forests.
Welcome back to savanna, sahel and desert! Also a more poor way of life: the struggle to get things growing is permanently present, although we are now in the wet season and everything is much greener than before. The Peul people let their cattle graze on the nice green grass and the fresh leaves of the trees. Everywhere, we see herds of zebus guarded by a boy.
When we stop at a desolate place to have a quiet picnic, out of the blue, we are surrounded by children and cattle.
In Fada N'Gourma, we settle at Auberge Yemmama just besides the market. Plenty of colorful lizards crowd the courtyard and we have our little friend, the gecko watching over us at night. A pity he couldn't keep the cockroach out of Wims' neck. This one we had to catch ourselves.
