the last couple of days were the best ever :) not only the most amzing night and the nicest first day of the new year, but then two best days of research yet, going to the bush, eating sweet fresh cocoa and all.
oil palms near n'douci. on the way to cocoa plantations
started with dancing until 6 am with one couchsurfer and his ivoirian friend, a couple of hours of sleep and a trip to the beach with another couchsurfer (Manu) and his ivoirian friends. sweet sweet time with wave running and playing bucket deck-become-frisbee in the sun :)
yummmmmmmmmy. very very sweet, moist thing around cocoa grains
the chief of batera village. owns some 10 ha of cocoa. photo taken on his demand :) i visited the fields with his son
impressive pepiniere (plant preschool?? ;)), financed by nestle, full of the new hybrid plants 'mercedes'. extremely interesting - more about it in soon to be published 'Bitter chocolate' book ;)
