Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Arrived in Ouaga yesterday.  My first time here.  I don't know what I expected but it's way more urbanised than I expected :).  I really like the place but my very poor French does not allow me to plug in as well as I'd like.  Staying at the better than okay Splendid Hotel on Avenue Kwame Nkrumah.  Shows how close Ghana and BF are that one of their main thoroughfares from the Airport into the city is named after Ghana's first president.

My hosts have just treated me to a fabulous dinner at the Restaurant Gondwana.  Great ambience, free wifi, great service and some of the best food I've ever eaten.  Highly highly recommended.

I'll certainly be back!
