Tabou, Côte d’Ivoire

In mid-October I was transferred from Daloa down to Tabou, a small town located on the Atlantic coast of Côte d’Ivoire, overlooking the Gulf of Guinea, just a few kilometres from the Liberian border. This is what Tabou looks like:

On Sunday I sometimes play volleyball with our staff:

As for our base, which serves as both home and office, this is part of the fleet of seven vehicles I manage:

It’s not always bright and blue here. This is what the house looks like in the rain, complete with a doctor’s vain attempt to not get completely soaked on her way there:
