Getting to Africa

Getting to Africa

We are just at the airport in Lisbon, Portugal ready to head off to Dakar.

We spent about 3 hours outside the airport in Lisbon and got asked if we wanted pot/coke/hash about 7 times.  Put a backpack on, step off the bus and bam...the offers start coming.  Kim and I must be naïve because neither of us can ever remember being offered those sorts of things before!

Our 24+ hours of traveling is nearing completion and we are excited to really start.  By the way, great article on Senegal in the November issue of Conde Nast Travel magazine - if you can read it online you will get a great sense of what we are going to be experiencing (hopefully!).
