Coucoué Lodge d’Assinie

Travel Bite: If you find yourself in Abidjan, the capital of Cote d'Ivoire with a few days to spare, you should visit Coucoué Lodge d’Assinie which is just a few hours drive away.

It's a very beautiful stretch of beach on one side, with a lake on the other side. The resort is truly world class. You can visit their website here.

P365 TE Day 123

Lebanese food in Cote d'Ivoire

Travel Bite: I'm not really sure what African food is like. If I remember correctly, when we went to the local Restaurant, our options were grilled seafood or grilled meat. I think I has grilled Chicken, but it was nothing exceptional. However, because of the large Lebanese population that settled in Abidjan, the Lebanese Restaurants are exceptional, be it a kebab or a shawarma or hummus, everything was so good.

African Block Print Fabric from Cote d'Ivoire

Travel Bite: The local attire in Cote d'Ivoire similar to the rest of Central Africa is Block Print Fabric. They wear it wrapped around their chest and their waist. They also use it to tie the babies to their backs. You can buy the Block Print Fabric in the market so you can also wear it sarong style. I brought home a few panels with me which I still need to have sewn.
