Bitter sweet memories of waterfalls in Guinea
My memories of Guinea will always be ones of such beautiful landscapes but also one of pain as my laptop got stolen in Dalaba. Four months into my trip through Africa I lost over 8000 media files from 4 countries but I learned to allow nature heal the wounds of time.
In some ways having this experience when I did made me more alert for the rest of my journey and it reminded me that no matter wherever we go there will always be people with different intentions around us.
I found support from the local community and the beautiful nature in the Fouta Djallon gave me strength to carry on. So get up and go out into the world if something bad happens learn from it but don't let it stop you :-)

Conakry Grand Mosque in Conakry, Guinea
The Conakry Grand Mosque is a mosque in Conakry located north of the Conakry Botanical Garden. The mosque was built by Sékou Touré with funding from King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. It is the largest mosque in West Africa and the fifth in the world. Its four minarets, covered in green tiles (the color of Islam) can be seen from far away. Women must cover themselves from head to foot before they can enter. The mosque has 2,500 places on the upper level for women and 10,000 below for men. The gardens of the mosque contain the Camayanne Mausoleum, including Samouri Touré, Sékou Touré and Alpha Yaya.
On 28 September 2009 a demonstration against the military junta at a city stadium was violently suppressed by security forces, with hundreds of deaths and dozens of injuries. On Friday 2 October the bodies of 508 victims were laid in the esplanade in front of the mosque. A large body of prostitutes were present, and people started throwing stones at them. The police responded with tear gas, which flooded the interior of the mosque.Like us and Join us at Xtreme Collections for more fun and knowledge.
