Mercy um also Commander he is in the previous episode I made it from the Sierra Leone border to commandikura radio Kankan okay hello thank you hey hey this bridge in Guinea 100 kilometers to kankan 160 kilometers to Cancun passes over Niger Niger River he didn't care okay thank you so much yeah yeah so after one fella the road became wide and I don't know it's mixed gravel and some bad tarmac y baby kisses so I love you okay Mercy mechanical s hey bro perfect how you came AC ID um all right stops for coffee and one of the guys told me you go to misamana go to my friend's house don't worry about where to sleep seven o'clock other days still there was some light and I see some very weird insects like shining and they are very very weird and that's a Loro lorono that animal I don't know the name very small with weird teeth they catch them break their teeth oh it was simply and all the movements were similar to all look at that light the bird as one is a car foreign beer we finished here foreign I didn't know that they have to cross this using probably a platform s um so I was not expecting this I really didn't know that I'm going to travel this River so we have tarmac until kankan very good voila in Cancun I was hosted by friends brother from Barcelona and then here his neighbor is taking me somewhere as a surprise whatever foreign I took one day rest in Cancun because I ate Guinea I had wrote an egg my stomach was getting crazy I couldn't really eat I couldn't really live normal but now I'm fine I'm heading to Cote d'Ivoire border I was having stomach issue after eating some rotten egg it's funny all these a month all this month today mark one month me being in West Africa Gambia Sierra Leone and also Guinea I have been eating everywhere like these ladies who cooked in the middle of the street I've never had any issues two times and that was when I someone like thinking that I'm a Tobago to always white people thinking as a Tobago I have to go to a proper restaurant so food from proper restaurant made me stomach issue now here in Cancun the other day my host took me to this debitary the meat place so we bought this chicken there was some egg inside very nice I ate it faster how cool but then they were rotten so one day I had stomach issue I recovered ninety percent let's say now I'm heading to the Cote d'Ivoire border actually interesting okay so yeah I'm out of Cancun but the summer the suburb is very crowded so probably I can find some nice breakfast but it has to be something good for my stomach oh man it's good after one month this happens but a big deal my Garmin like Garmin h which are used to track and also follow the route since before hankan stopped acquiring satellites so it's not really working I'm using my phone it's not very practical because of because when there is lots of sun see properly and also mobile the battery doesn't last long so let's see if I get out of this area it's possible that because of the military and Airport they have some kind of a signal blockage let's see so we are entering this town called Kotero cotero foreign I have 27 kilometers with sun I saw local people also wearing masks so I said why not so the route is Sandy and I saw people wearing masks so I got this mask and sunglasses to the to the next town it's all Sandy I didn't bring a helmet here in Africa because I know nobody wears helmet I didn't want to be different but with the sand I saw that local people also wearing mask and also there are places that they they even sell masks so I bought so I bought masks and sunglass foreign foreign everybody oh there's only four all right foreign foreign this movie foreign classes foreign gold side I also saw the Trivago Hotel is because patrons from all over the world when they travel or they they are sad but told by here you can invest and they grow but how is living going like they avoid some machines and all these people with a miserable salary work for them it's just crazy this is still happening 2022. and it will go on this way in Montana I spent life with the young gold miners they were sleeping in the streets and they gave me their best this month to reach my tents amazing everybody one two three foreign foreign foreign foreign another number all right I love you love it no no just washed my food it took them 20 seconds to help me give me a bucket to facilate the washing clothes process I could buy water in the town but I was just too lazy and I'm ran out of water makes Village is in eight kilometers and probably they won't have filtered water so I have to get water from the from the village and filter it myself in the in the Box came mountain bike again close to the Border it's normally crazy yeah remember very green indeed that way goes to Mali and this way goes to Cote d'Ivoire it goes very like the the road goes very close to Malibu border but it circles around and goes to sativa yet the same as the knee spania doesn't exist in Latin America doesn't exist here so you don't say bonjour you say bonjour it became so green because it's too hot today is hottest day ahead during the last month oh 40 kilometers ago there are flies driving me crazy it's just put they sit on me ah so annoying they burn all these daily to make it prepared for farming and the animals and everything I don't know what happened to them the birds are escaping laughs sometimes the people help you but maybe it's better not it's a reflection so I was searching for this uh charging station the typical one that is in almost every village I asked a guy where it is and he was like no don't worry I will charge it for you so I gave him the the fast charging adapter I had from xiaomi 65 what and then yesterday when I was in this Village I went to the charging station I told the guy I have I don't have time I wanted to be charged fast so just use my adapter and he didn't accept he was so like serious if you said no I said and I got like why you don't do that he didn't explain anything so when I gave this guy the charger fast charger after a while he went to visit how might charge we are it's already done voila the whole system he had which was connected to a battery big battery from car or motorcycle all because of the heat it got broken so I had I insisted a repair paying him it was nothing like 10 000 less less than two two dollars I paid him insisting but anyway they were so hospitable I prefer to charge it in a charging station because during the time I was there it could possibly the power bank would be fully charged more or less and then but it was great they brought food I took some photos with the family we were below the tree they brought this food like a meatballs they prepare from this fish they have in the in the like weird water here I don't know the name but later one guy came was selling this fish it's two twenty thousand Guinea Franc per kilo it's almost three dollars it's not very cheap like comparing to the prices here it's not cheap so yeah we have great food we have a tire special mandinka tea and I'm leaving to the border to cotivoire it was the last stop like long stop I did yeah the fish comes from the this water all right Village so this is the last Village before the Border I don't know when the police appears to check and put this exit the stand am I just out of Guinea the guy brought the the stamp after like 10 minutes then I don't know why 15 minutes took him stamp it in closed room and then it came out we filled all the details together slow very slow but it's finished it took like 30 minutes it's quite good but I have 30 kilometers to get to the entrance of Cote d'Ivoire police this is out of Guinea before reaching entrance to Cote d'Ivoire so this is a nobody's Earth let's say now I'm like I belong to nobody so that's probably where the Polish potato policies I'm gonna stop recording this is so [ __ ] up I just uh went to the police first police stuff after the guinea the guys were playing cards they just said the the border is closed you cannot pass the Border while I saw in the book on the Guinness side there were a lot of people passed by the by the border like I don't know possibly just guinean people who doesn't need visa can pass but he was talking about Kobe test and [ __ ] so he said the Visa is only for going by plane and if ambassador of Cote d'Ivoire knowing that I'm going by bicycle he didn't say anything and I'm just telling them hey why you think Ambassador doesn't know about this he said he doesn't know that's it just go back to guinea finally some [ __ ] up [ __ ] come came up again just receive lesser passe by WhatsApp from that guy from of the other border now I'm just packing everything and going in 10 minutes I will know if I can pass the Border so after more than 30 hours I don't know how many hours exactly from the day before yesterday evening I was staying here at Medina Police Frontier police they weren't like I wasn't detained but The Villages before the Border are very weird place so I prefer to stay here calm now I'm going heading to Cote d'Ivoire side I already received lesser pase in a weird format a photo on WhatsApp so let's see thumbs up back to Guinea police guess what because they didn't let me pass even with lesser passe uh the guy here was like called his boss the boss said no but then he said ask the Ambassador consulate whoever he is to talk to the police directly the Ambassador is willing to talk to the police but the police doesn't is rejecting his calls so I'm going back to police and Guinness side wait there until they be able to talk to each other uh then I also talked to ambassador of Cote d'Ivoire in Freetown and he literally told me beg them pay them something so they let you pass and I told him sir I already spent 160 dollars and I had to pay on less than 80 dollars for Visa and I paid 100 for the Visa 60 dollars for the Lesser passe and I'm still not in and then you're asking me to pay again pay to this bribe them so I told him I'm not going to pay anything I'm not going to beg anyone on Freetown after my message like Hey sir I pay he moved the moved a little bit finally contacted the police now police wants to see me probably want some money I don't know I don't want to pay any anything like this already paid extra officially paid extra like official people we transfer so it can be all tracked it's not like bright four kilometers inside Cote d'Ivoire until reaching the police office the first post the one that weren't letting me in this time there was no one there I didn't pass I just wait there no one came but I could call the police who wants to see me like the chief could talk to him on WhatsApp and he's asking me if I have Visa so all this time he didn't know I had Visa these guys didn't tell him clearly they just said border is closed border is closed so the guy said come come come and uh I have 20 kilometers to go hopefully when I'm going when I get there he doesn't make any stupid I don't know excuse or whatever to send me back I would be very pissed off moments ago I just decided to give up go back to Spain I was checking flight from Conakry to Barcelona it was through Lisbon so I even thought I stopped at Lisbon at least I circled from this one too Barcelona just like a farewell to cycling you know because I hate cycling in Europe and then here I cannot Circle to just give it up give it up forget about it find another [ __ ] let's things are getting better right now let's see
