Gunnar is a Norwegian cycling enthusiast who seems to have criss-crossed every continent several times on his bike. He met Pia and Andrew in St.Louis Senegal, and they told him about Hotel Djenné Djenno so he got on his bike and here he is a few weeks later.
Talking of intrepid Norwegians, I am reading Thor Heyerdahl's Fatu-Hiva, his description about his first Polynesian adventure when he went to a South-Sea island with his young bride to see if they could return to the garden of Eden and survive on nuts and wild fruits etc. Not sure if I like the idea of either of these Norwegian adventures, but nevertheless approve of their spirit.
