I've got lots of great news: I figured out a way to get my pictures uploaded (despite having lost my cable) and it's Friday!!! I can't wait for the weekend to be here! As promised, I am sharing last weekend's pictures when we went to Bassan and had an amazing time.
Grand Bassam, or Bassam as most people here seem to call it, is a beach town located about an hour outside of Abidjan. Bassam has some lovely colonial architecture, which was built by the French who had made the city their first colonial capital. I rode out for the afternoon with a couple of friends and had a blast.
Vendors flock to the areas popular with expats to peddle their goods. A rope barrier is designed to keep them from crowding the people trying to enjoy the beach.
The resort has a pool, which is really practical for people with children. The waters can be choppy and dangerous, so many kids swam in the pool, instead of in the sea.
Bassam looks really nice, thanks for sharing the picts! Any other weekend getaways for a daily trip?
