My weekend, part 2


One of the “drivers” asked us if we wanted to see a tree with plenty of bats. We said yes:



The tree is just next to his village. He asked us if we wanted to visit the village school (which I think was deliberate, so we could make a little donation to it). It was a really nice school and the principal teacher welcomed us.


Then we walked through the village. I made some new friends that helped me by holding my hand on the way back to the pirogue. They wanted me to take a photo. Afterwards they threw themselves over my camera to see it. This made me also understand that they're quite used to visitors.

Back to Kanazi we were hungry. After waiting for our meal for 3 hours and nothing came, we had enough and continued with the car. This photo is taken when we just had our drinks and were still hopeful for the meal:

This is one of the best roads I’ve ever seen in Niger. And it continues like this all the way to Mali.
To cross the river, we took the ferry:

Then we went back to Niamey on the other side of the river Niger.
