I was wondering how the conflict over there was affecting your trip. I know most African countries are safe for travel but I'd just be worried about coming across a caravan of rebels. How has the vibe been so far? Do the locals welcome your presents? Mauritania is in the same peace index as Mexico, how has it been?
The vibe has been good - people here are extremely friendly and welcoming.

Thanks for asking...
I've been hanging out around The Gambia River, and spotted my first Hippo!
And my first Chimpanzee!
...And my first Ebola warning sign... then I got horribly sick. Damn. I feel much better now.

Another day, another bribery attempt foiled!
Also, 9 hours to catch a single ferry - a new record for me!

Hey All,
I have just posted a video of my time in Senegal - which shaped up to be the Africa I have been dreaming of - colorful, friendly people, and street parties!

Hey all,
Thanks to my useless timing, it now rains every single day for between 8 and 10 hours.
It's the hardest rain I have ever seen in my life, and is usually acomanied by a massive thunder and lightning storm.
More than a few times the boom of thunder is so close it rattles the Jeep while I am asleep upstairs....

I have driven into African country #5, Guinea-Bissau.
Amazingly, the bribery games are identical to my one day crossing of Honduras a few years back.
