Ambulanz mit Blaulicht überrascht uns
Das sind so die Augenblicke, wenn man entweder glaubt im falschen Film zu sein oder in eine Filmkulisse geraten zu sein. 7 km nach der Staatsgrenze zwischen Senegal und Guinea-Bissau kam uns auf einer Rumpelpiste in einem Dorf ein Krankenwagen mit Blaulicht und Sirene entgegen. Der Ambulanzfahrer hat wohl ebenso blöd wie wir geschaut, als ihm 4 Autos mit deutscher Zulassung begegnet sind.

The town of Cacheu is situated in territory of the Papel people. The name is of Bainuk origin: "i.e. Caticheu, meaning 'the place where we rest'."[2]
Founded in 1588,[3] Cacheu was one of the earliest European colonial settlements in sub-saharan Africa, due to its strategic location on the Cacheu river. Cacheu developed a European/Afro-European population from the late fifteenth century through informal settlement of Cape Verdian and Portuguese traders, adventurers and outcasts (lancados). The authorities in mainland Portugal also sent to Cacheu degredados - people condemned to exile for a variety of offences.[4]
For most of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Cacheu was the official slave trading point for the Portuguese in the Upper Guinea region - the point at which the Portuguese crown endeavoured to ensure that duties on all slaves exported were paid.
Notable buildings in Cacheu include the Portuguese-built 16th century fort, dating from the period when Cacheu was a centre for the slave trade.
