Asturias56 31st Jul 2019 17:02

Asturias56 31st Jul 2019 17:25

Off until about midnight - a Client is buying me dinner...........................

Wotever you're on I don't want any. :ooh:

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 07:33

None of the above but Bear is probably closest but Dook is correct - this is no tourist location

This place has a bigger population than Manchester or Lyon and is based on a single industry - but you'll never have heard of it

It is in the FrancAfrique - football is pretty big here I believe

I've been looking at the wrong side of Africa.

Maybe that single industry is film-making.

Are we in Gabon ?

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 08:16

Not Gabon and not film-making - something a lot more basic................

The good people are largely Muslim by faith

I repeat - a close look at the picture at 16:24 might help

I have looked several times at that post.

All I see is s large river/estuary possible on the coast.

dook 1st Aug 2019 08:35

If I wouldn't want to go there is it near Sierra Leone ?

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 08:39

Firstly Apologies on the population of the town - I confused the Department numbers with those of the city... its NOT bigger than Manchester......

but location wise Dook is getting there ................ cross-country, on foot, the hard way but getting there ;)

It is indeed a large river but it is nowhere near the coast................ some of the local lads................ and what some people do as the day job

I believe there is a semi regular ATR service from the Capital to here but what the frequency is I'm not sure

Quite a lot of charters tho'

Asturias56 1st Aug 2019 08:48

I'm running out of pictures
