Experience in Burkina Faso

I am so excited and happy that I had the chance to experience what Africa is all about in just 10 days. I really enjoyed my time being with the group from Canada. I enjoyed traveling through Ouagadougou, Bobo and Orodara. The group that went on the bus with me got to experience a couple of problems with the first bus we were on it had some problems 2 different times. The first 2 times we had so electrical problems which they fixed in about 5 mins one of the bus drivers came back on the bus to grab a fan belt which they somehow were able to start the bus up again. Then the same thing happen not more then 10 mins later or so. Then the bus driver and some other guys got out and started it up the same way again. Then we were off on the road again. Wow that is defiantly a great way to experience travel in Africa. Tany was also on the bus with us and she told us this is how it is a lot of the time traveling in the buses. I didn't mind all the problems cuz it made is think that we weren't in Canada anymore for a couple of days. Then once we got to Bobo we got to the Claire's guest house. Then after lunch we we got ready to go to Orodara we had to wait at the bus stop for the next bus to take us. As we start to drive to the outside of the city we have a bus that is having stick shifting problems but thank God we were able to make it safely to the bus depot that we could change buses and not get stuck out in the middle of no where and end up waiting for someone to come and get us.
