On our way to Nouna, we had a flat tyre. In itself, it's not a big deal, but becomes a problem when you can't loosen the bolts on the tyre... A mechanic from the next village came to help and we managed to get 3 bolts out of 4... but the last one did not loose at all. So the mechanic tried to cut it of with a hammer and a chisel.... We were waiting over 3 hours and the problem still wasn't solved. So a friend came to pick us up and bring us to Nouna, where we arrived at night. The mechanic worked a couple of hours more to finally get the tyre changed... As they say in Africa, problems don't exist, there are only solutions ...
