Former capital of Cote d'Ivoire an enormous amount of money was spent in order to turn it into an international style city. This failed somehow and it was pretty deserted when I went there apart from the huge buidlings scattered around the place.

After passing the town, we reached at least the ocean at the eastside of Abidjan.Here we found a nice campground with bar and restaurant, where we could put our tents in the shade of the palmtrees.
As everywhere in Cote d´Ivoire there were a lot of kids around. They were very curious about those white people, visiting a bar in their village or town.They were very enthusiastic.
