It's Fada than it looks

Thanks to Rob Smith for the witty headline (others may say it's a dad joke, but it works...and Rob's a dad so it is permitted).

We've put up a couple of pics taken during our time in Fada, which is less than 200km from Niger. We walked up 'Fada Mountain' (not its real name), and got a taste for the African plains.

The mountain is kind of like a small-scale Uluru. On the way up, we passed a hut where people sacrifice animals as part of their rituals. Sadly, we were told albino babies (human) are sometimes sacrificed.


I was quite sick in Fada (please see blog post below), but feeling much better now. 'Prescription only' notices on drugs are ignored here - you can get most drugs over the counter at the pharmacy, which is often open 24 hours...handy if you were to get an onset of malaria at 3am.
