Upcountry Mission: Getting There Part 2

After 10 hours on the road we stopped at a guest house and then got up at 6 am for another 10 hours in the car.  All told, we went approximately 750 km from Conakry to Kissinae.

Passed a few taxis.  The guys on top pay extra for the air conditioning.

We saw just about everything on top of taxis.  Here a motorcyle.  We did see a whole cow on top of one but everyone was so shocked no one got a picture.



We came to a bridge that looked a little sketchy, so we got out to take a good look before crossing.



It look OK so we continued across.

After one last push we got to our clinic site and home for the next 5 days.  This is a picture of the school where we set up our clinic, but more on that next post...

Upcountry Mission - Getting There Part 1

This month I was blessed to get to go into the interior of Guinea to oversee a dental clinic.  I have seperated this trip into several postings.  The first part is some pictures showing what it was like traveling in Guinea.

We started with a 5:00 am pack up to avoid traffic.  It can take as long as 4 hours to get out of Conakry if we wait for daylight.



We did pass a Starbucks on the way but decided not to stop.

 

On some good road.

 

Some not-so-good road.





Some bad road



An African farm on the way.

We stopped in Guekodou for gas

Buying charcoal to cook with.  We ended up having a gas stove once we arrived but we didn't know that at the time.
