Ferry flight to DRC- from Cape Verde to Guinea to São Tomé

Leaving Sal, Cape Verde
Our route flying to Conakry,Guinea
Beautiful winding rivers in Guinea Bissau. There are 6 major rivers in this country.
So fortunate to have clear skies today. Typically when we’ve flown over West Africa it has been cloudy
Flying into Guinea
Flying into Conakry, Guinea. Such a big city! Guinea is rich in natural resources and boasts a third of bauxite reserves used for making aluminum and is rich in iron,gold and diamonds. Despite this – Guinea is one of the poorest countries and one of the least developed in the world
Filling ferry tanks
We were very fortunate to stay with the MAF family here – John and Lisa Blomberg and their 5 very cute kids. Lisa took us for a walk in their neighborhood to get some groceries. Lisa spoke of how friendly people are in this country
And chocolate from a locally run chocolate store- locally grown and operated by a group of women.
Early morning departure. We left the house at 6am- a remarkable difference in traffic at this time of the day! On our way to São Tomé
Rivers of Guinea
Crops in Guinea
Leaving the Ivory Coast at Abidjan
A massive city along the coast-
Long nine and half hour flight today- and time to stretch our legs!
Island of São Tomé
Landing in São Tomé
Last fuel up before our leg to Kinshasa, Congo. Today we started with sunrise picture and ended with a sunset picture:)
