We made it to Guinea!

I thought, I introduce myself here. Me and my partner are currently on an overland trip along the coast of Africa. We started in Hamburg and made it to Guinea two days ago. It was a pretty wild ride.

We now need to go to the capital to sort out paperwork, and the main roads are pretty bad here. It's all dirt, corrugations, washed out sections... Overall we've averaged 20km/h over the first two days. Maybe tomorrow well be back on tarmac. Hopefully we can make it to the Ivory Coast before the heavy rain starts.

We are debating weather it is better to take the direct road or make the detour over Sierra Leone and Liberia. The detour seems to have better roads until the very end. But then there seems to be a bad dirt track just before the border. If anyone of you have a suggestion...

Anyway, here is the responsible Self-Promotion part. I have a small Instagram mostly for my family: Instagram

Also, maybe interesting for you as well. Here you can see what kind if rigs the European overlander drive.
