The vegetation and the roads changed immediately. Huge Mango trees started appearing, the roads took on the redness you expect from African roads.

Mostly our route through each country follows all the smaller roads - two
reasons for this... one, you get to see more of the country and secondly,
you bypass all police road blocks! Following our first road in
Burkina Faso - in search of another waterfall to cool us down bought us to
a remote village tucked away on a hillside. The road faded so we met the
village chief and got permission to camp on the only flat ground (in front
of the school).

) Tug-of-war with the village boys |
It was not long before the village boys arrived. I made the most of the afternoon by using our tow rope to get them to join in a game of tug-of-war. I think I was more knackered afterwards from the heat than the kids were from playing!
