De Lensenia a Kabala Sierra Leona E97
hours and here we’re going to sleep. Check out the place where we’re going to sleep tonight. They’ve given us a spot inside this cabin. And this is the village we arrived at. Night has fallen. They made us talk to the tribe’s chief. And here’s the sun setting. Thank you very much. Happy happy birthday, Yolanda. Bye. Bye. Good morning. Well, to give you an idea, yesterday we arrived at a village, asked for a place to sleep, and they let us sleep here with the motorcycles parked over there. We spoke with the tribe’s chief, and he said yes, no problem. So, good morning. Thank you very much for bringing me this. I asked for water to heat up for coffee, and look, they brought it here. We’ve slept in this little cabin, always under the watchful eyes of all these characters. And the motorcycles are here. Here we are leaving the village where they’ve treated us so well. They left us here in this hut, and well, under the watchful eyes of all these people, we’re heading to Cabala, right? Yes, to Cabala. Thank you very much. Thank you. My goodness, so much anticipation, huh? A good time to have a silly fall, huh? Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Here we go. Here we have the chief, the chiefs of the tribe. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Goodbye. Yes, yes. This is a memory for a lifetime, without a doubt. One of the best days here in Africa, in Sierra Leone. Look, we have a checkpoint. Let’s see if they let us leave the village. Okay. Thank you. Hello. Oh, I thought we had asphalt. It’s the color of the ground. No, no, there’s no asphalt. Carry on. And now I’m going to tell you exactly where I am. This is La Ensign, a village located in the middle of nowhere in northern Sierra Leone. And here in this little round cabin is where we spent the night. Today we’re going to Cabala, and to get there we’re going to take this route through savannas, forests, and villages where we don’t know of any other travelers having dared to go. To get to Cabala, we’re going to travel 124 km, which will take us four and a half hours. And well, the route is quite easy at the beginning. You can go relatively fast if you don’t hit sand like we have now. Oh, oh, oh. The bull, the bull. I’m a little amazed, and I see it’s fun. Sand. Hello. Good morning. How are you? Spain. Kabala. Kabala. You’re fast. You can go fast here, but don’t get carried away, okay? Be careful, Daniel, son. What he says is that there are sandy areas like here. As a little trick, when I can, I bend my knee to reduce the strain on the suspension, and that way it doesn’t make this noise. Here we have this protective guest watching over us while we eat these delicious African dishes. This is something cooked with potato leaves and fish. And this one here, this is casaba, right? Casaba. Casaba, which is basically spinach with some meat, and well, here we are sharing these dishes with this view. Look at this view. Here we have the views from the terrace. The music, I don’t know if you can hear it, but it’s from a wedding they’re celebrating down there. They’ve got a real party going on. And right now we have this sunset, just mountains, nature, and my love here. Instead of working on my suspension, I’m working on my knee, but oh well. Let’s see, over here. I just saw a sign for Fabala. This town with the Fabala district. There are lots of cows around here. And this one with a lamb there too. The family and the sheep. This is a pretty big town, huh? There they have their water tank. Yesterday they were telling me that they now have to manage as best they can until the rainy season arrives. They have a well, but they say it sometimes dries up, so they have to go looking for water wherever they can to survive until finally, around May , the rains come and then they have water back up. So every year they just manage as best they can. I imagine the end of the dry season is the worst. We have another checkpoint. Hello. Good. Very good. Who are you? I’m Daniel. I’m from Spain. Spain. And we are going to Cavala. Cavala. Okay. Yeah. On track. This is a track. What is your purpose of using this route? propos is to do offroad and crossing the town visiting the towns and the people around just on from Spain. From Spain. Yeah. Yeah. We try to do offroad. Can we check the travel by from spin? Yeah. Italy. From Italy and me from Spain. What about this? This is camera. Forks. Walking. Let’s see. Lenia. You know we were with the chief the sherif of the town the authority. They us to stay. visit the place there. Ok fine. So you traveled slowly you have traveled wide alone. Yeah. Yeah. And then we go to Conakry we are not just travelers. We are traveling alone but we meet now and we are traveling together. Yeah. And but I’m from Spain and he from Italy. But but you along along along along along along the line. Are you going to until you get back home? I will try to go to South Africa. Coranco and soma a tanto Daniel Daniel Yesterday studying thank you very much thank you thank you very much a long check everything depends on the policeman the interest he has in knowing, and, mate, in knowing about you. Let’s see if I can become friends with him and he’ll give me the bike. Yes, because this is how it is, huh? Like this. And when you stop you start to sweat and now when you start moving a little you get a nicer cool breeze. Let’s see if I’ve screwed up. Not completely, but I’ve done something stupid. Well, I’d like to have the rear suspension a little better because there are times when I’d give it gas on some jumps and you literally bounce. But of course, I’m stressed about this noise. Okay, let’s start with this one and see how many turns. This doesn’t click. This would be like the original plus one turn tightened. And here it would be the original plus one turn tightened. [ __ ] mosquito. I got a mosquito right in my eye. And this one, ah, it’s moving and everything. I have to stop. It’s easy, but not quite, huh? It’s a bit more regular. Over here. Daughter. Don’t worry, Daniel. This is too loose, so we’re going to tighten it. Arro is this. I wanted to go with the visor down, but it’s too hot. 32 gr. Let’s go. [ __ ] the little blue bird. I can be here. Try not to like this. Ah, ok. Find the position that you don’t like. Your back. Because I did like this. You never like this because otherwise you… Yeah. Yeah. See, see, ok, now push also with your position you are using. I ‘m gaining confidence when I sort out the suspension. This is going to be fun. It’s not fun anymore. And very fast today, huh? Now you can’t get distracted for a moment, huh? Let’s see what we have here. We arrive at a village with its river. Okay, there’s a river, there’s a village. This is going to be… they have water. So here we are with my friend Coco, who’s showing me a really cool hike. I shouldn’t be talking on my phone where I am because I’ll slip and fall down there. Look where Coco’s taken me. This isn’t bad, huh? Not bad at all, man. The place Coco brought me to isn’t bad. Everyone’s afraid of Coco, and all the good things he gives you. [ __ ] Look at that. And now I’m going to suggest we go to that mountain, walking this way. Look. Okay. All along the hillside to there. Don’t worry, I’m not going to back down. You see my house? The green roof is scary to get close to. Give me your hand. [ __ ] No, it’s scary, huh? Getting close there. Be careful. And we came from… what’s the plaza here? We came from down there, from Cabala. This is Cabala. Yeah, yeah. Now you’re brave, huh? I’m going to do that too. Oh, yeah. We just saw a rat the size of a dog. A dog. I was going to say a rabbit, but no bigger. Look, look. Wow. Well, this is Coco, whom I met yesterday. Yesterday was, right? A Spaniard from the Canary Islands who’s lived here for 15, 17 years. Another world traveler. Uh, I think he’s the only Spaniard living in this town, right? Yes, in this town, yes. Well, now we have a bit of content for the travel omelet. Hello. Hello. What’s this for? So I can go slower, right? Hello. Hello. Here we have the well. Look how they draw water. This is classic here. [ __ ] we have something here. We have something there. Hello. Festival. Coronco, are you speaking? Yes. Small, small. Are you spending a lot of time on it? No, no. A lot of time. I arrived yesterday. I sleep in a village like this, and they teach me. And this is a festival today. Yes. Of what? Our children’s happiness, children to make life, and so society in a traditional culture. I’m so excited to do things like that, just like the grandparents in the community, so many things are very possible. To make the children, to make life, to make a tanto. And well, we’ve reached the end of the episode. The next episode will be the second part of this one, and we’ll finally get to Cabala. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I encourage you to subscribe, like, hit the bell, and leave a comment so I know you’re on the other side. See you in the next episode. Bye.
EPISODIO 97 – De Lensenia a Kabala (Parte 1) | La Tortilla Viajera
Después de pasar la noche en el poblado de Lensenia, arrancamos una nueva jornada por el interior de Sierra Leona. Hoy nos esperan 124 kilómetros de pistas, barro y selva africana, un trayecto que debería durar unas 4 horas, aunque aquí el tiempo siempre se mueve a su propio ritmo.
El camino hacia Kabala no es solo duro, también es intenso: atravesamos varios controles militares donde tenemos que explicar quiénes somos, por qué estamos ahí y mostrar nuestra documentación para poder continuar. Cada control es una historia, una conversación y, muchas veces, una lección sobre cómo se viaja realmente por África.
Esta es la Parte 1 de un día tan intenso que no cabía en un solo episodio.
Una vez llegue a Kabala, conoceré a Coco, un español que lleva más de 15 años viviendo en la zona y que dedica su vida a un proyecto precioso: construir escuelas para las comunidades locales. Pero esa historia te la cuento en la Parte 2…
Acompáñame en esta ruta remota, auténtica y llena de humanidad, siempre a lomos de Perlita, mi Ducati Desert X.
