Nouakchott, Mauritania

From the odd start to my trip to Mauritania (the Benin airport), I arrived late at night to realize, “Man, this airport is FAR from the city!” Oddly, there were 0 taxis available. I asked around, and they pointed me to some guy driving a 1937 box with tape & glue, and off we went….

Since I changed my plans short-notice, I made a booking for the Ibis on the east side of Abidjan, the capital of Côte d’Ivoire. On arrival at the airport, I saw a van driver with an Ibis west side sign. I asked him if someone was coming from the east side location or if I…
