I didn't get to see too much of portuguese-speaking Guinea Bissau, but spent a couple of hours checking out the city. It is a country a few years out of conflict and the city doesn't seem to have much to offer! But I still found it charming!
Street View in Bissau
I didn't see the ocean for the first few days I was there - The last day, I decided I can't visit a coastal city and not see the ocean! My lone quest (no other conference participants seemed as optimistic) for the ocean vista and glistening white beaches ended here - not quite what I had in mind! There must be nicer beaches a bit out of town!
This picture sums up the airport experience in Bissau - "Trouble Counter"..haha!
Olivier returns from Gao tomorrow! He has been seeing amazing villages set along the Niger River in desert landscapes and working hard to set up the management teams for the community radios...but unfortunately he doesn't have a digital camera with him! After the next trip up north, we will definitely have amazing pictures to share!
