Bon Appetit
we're having a breakfast tea and bread
with egg Bon Appetit we're starting
today's episode in Thailand actually no
this is a different type of travel vlog
we're starting in burkina faso our goal
is to get from the capital city laga
dugu to the second biggest city bobo do
- we have no idea which bus is going to
bobo-dioulasso and if we ask people all
of them seem kind of high or we just
cannot get a proper answer nobody knows
which path is going to ba ba de la selva
this what happened that's just
unbelievable we are finally in the bus
let me explain the situation and the
system of the bus station there is no
system at all we bought the bus tickets
for 9:00 a.m. then the bus arrived it
was almost full and a lot of people
rushed in and then it was completely
full and we didn't make it he sold the
bus she's left and we asked what
happened there was our bus the advice of
the people was try to be faster next
time wait for another bus and tried to
be faster so we waited around 40 minutes
next bus came Teresa here rushed in she
wrestled her way into the bus
it was extremely chaotic before fighting
screaming shouting she got two seats so
many people didn't make it into the bus
fortunately we made it let's go to
mobile do we love it
[Music]
welcome to bobo-dioulasso bobo-dioulasso
another big city with a strange name the
center of djembe music the traditional
African genre that uses the djembe drums
basically everyone here plays Jim
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
we're entering probably the most famous
building of Burkina Faso the Grand
Mosque of bobo-dioulasso at the end of
the 19th century hostile forces from the
Mali Kingdom we're advancing -
bobo-dioulasso the local King was
desperately looking for assistance and
the Islamic religious leader of the area
promised to help but only if the King
built a mosque in bobo-dioulasso and
that's how this unique structure was
built the mosque is a typical Sudan osa
Hylian structure the architecture is
characterized by rounded soft forms and
wooden sticks protruding from the walls
these sticks are needed to maintain the
building repairs are needed almost every
year for those of you who are bored with
buildings I stopped at the central
market to buy a local delicacy ladies
and gentlemen we bought sheeni at the
local market which is basically a fat
warm from burkina faso there's some
sauce and onions
which smells pretty good so Bon Appetit
I don't like it at all
there's something wrong with this taste
if you need protein this is the best
thing you can get I cannot finish this
the sauce is good though we gave the
warms to random drunk guy and move
further west to the city of bantorra to
explore the remaining gem of Burkina
Faso its nature
[Music]
big big day today
today we are going to explore three of
the biggest natural wonders of burkina
faso let's go
[Music]
our first stop are the domes of Baba
dugu incredible limestone formations
created hundreds of millions of years
ago when everything here was covered by
sea domes of faba dugu are a sacred
place local Animists hold rituals here
at the end of the rainy seasons there
were literally no tourists here which
made this place even more fascinating I
wish I could stay here a little longer
but we need to move on because there are
still two more things from the
incredible nature of burkina faso let's
go
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
anywhere you look just sugar cane Wow
we're gonna try it at the very last
sight
oh it's forbidden to taste it right here
oh I guess we're stealing it right now
that's why all right let's go
[Music]
all I can already hear it
[Music]
kappa Gila waterfalls are the most
famous waterfalls of this region
unfortunately we cannot swim in this
water because there's some kind of
bacteria that lives there and when we
asked our guide if there's something
interesting about these waterfalls
he said no nothing interesting well this
looks much better to be honest the water
is not very clear because it's not the
rainy season and it's kind of brown
because of the sand that is mixing with
the water by the way it's 37 degrees
Celsius it is incredibly hard we are at
the top of the what the rates are called
something
this is a 7-up that I bought a week ago
and I completely forgot about it it's
been in my backpack I'm seriously
getting sunburned this is fucking
Redemption
I love 7up this is not a big promotion
[Music]
these waterfalls are kinda nice but
you've heard it there is nothing that
interesting about them and I'm also
losing a lot of body fluids especially
water that's why we need to hurry to the
absolute highlight of working as nature
let's go
ladies and gentlemen the Sindhu Peaks if
you remember the movie Avatar
this is like that
[Applause]
similarly two domes of faba dugu these
sandstone cones were underwater for
millions of years and they've been
shaped by the elements ever since
time for the illegally stolen sugarcane
I forgot how good this is in the past
Sindhu Peaks served as a hideout for
locals avoiding hostile tribes is raids
the magical sunset suggested that we
should head back to our hotel our time
in Burkina Faso was almost over but we
were still in for one last treat
[Music]
I cannot forget about one of the most
famous qualities of the people of
Burkina Faso their generosity we met a
guy named Jacques he's the photographer
and he invited us for a lunch the first
thing we're eating is called Gabbana
it's a traditional dish from Burkina
Faso and it's made out of some leaves
peanuts and rice she put a lot of oil
inside clogged arteries for the win
really delicious
this is eaten mainly during special
occasions like weddings or or vegan
festivals not sure about the vegan
festivals weddings manger and parties
[Music]
after lunch it was time for a West
African staple hibiscus juice made out
of dried hibiscus leaves mint and sugar
I love this thing I started drinking
this in Senegal and I got addicted oh
this is lovely
okay our last lunch was a perfect
example of why Burkina Faso became our
favourite country in Africa not only it
has stunning nature and almost no
tourists but the people are amazing
they're always smiling they're very
passionate warm kind and always willing
to help
Burkina Faso maxi beaucoup however there
are occasional hagglers that don't leave
you alone even if you ignore them so I
developed a strategy to get rid of them
I call it the native language bladder
