EPS 14. Ivory Coast: ONLY PROBLEMS! Man to Yamoussoukro to Abidjan

Overland traveling is always full of surprises - good ones, and bad ones. Mostly it’s about exploring foreign countries and cultures - but sometimes the challenges you meet on the road need nearly all your attention. Here is what happened in Côte D’Ivoire:

My travel partner had the worst crash of the journey so far: A local motorcyclist crossed his way and he fell when breaking - his side pannier crashing on his ankle. He was stuck under his motorcycle until I lifted it up. The next days we were trying to rush to Abidjan as fast as possible to get him to a proper hospital because his ankle was swollen on twice the size. From the city Man we drove to the capital of Ivory Coast: Yamoussoukro. After a short visit of Notre Dame de Yamoussoukro we continued to Abidjan - where my travel partner decided that he is fine again and doesn't need to get to the hospital anymore. But another challenge was waiting for us: The tires we had sent from Europe were lost by DHL and we had to find new rear tires for our big motorcycles in Abidjan. Watch the episode to find out if we managed and join some sighseeing to St. Paul's cathedral and a rubber tree plantation!
