Bambadinca, Guinea-Bissau - Polarsteps
Two men who just entered the terrain of the church starter throwing rocks to the ground. They were holding a manchete, but didn't use, and reacted spastic when something crawling moved again. They were killing a snake, and I witnessed it from my tent, realizing even more that I should be careful.

The road showed many green with an almost continuous stream of villages and houses. Almost at least every minute I saw people and they almost all called "Branco" to me, to which I mostly waved back and said "Bom dia". Altough I was surrounded by so many people, I'm not sure if I have felt more lonely. Not being able to say more than three different things for the whole day made me tired, in that case I would rather be completely alone.

I cycled until I found a dry and safe to camp at, except for a house. This was more difficult than I ever, but eventually I found an old wood cutting factory. The owner allowed me to sleep next to the machines, which seemed to be not working anymore.
