Arrival in Ouagadougou

Well, the plane was over 3 hours late, but I finally landed in Ouagadougou to temperatures similar to those I'd left in England. It was 30C - but it was midnight. Daytime temperatures are around 40C - check them out here

I managed, with the kind help of my good friends at SIM, to get quite a lot done today, including - appropriately enough - getting a new SIM card in my mobile phone so I can use it in Burkina.

Unfortunately I still don't have transport. So, if things don't come together tomorrow, I'll be heading north on the bus on Thursday.

More soon.
