The Hideout Lodge, Butre and Busua






We found the most incredible spot last weekend. We stayed in the Hideout Lodge owned and operated by Tess – a Swedish woman, she has a 5 year old and one on the way. The Lodge was beautiful but the beach was the best part – clean, quiet, fun waves…We spent one day in Busua – just over the hill from Butre (the village across the Lagoon from Hideout Lodge) – we took a little 3K hike over there and enjoyed the surf and delicious burritos! The hike was incredibly beautiful. The surf was decent especially if you haven’t seen surf in a really long time – mostly it was just cool to be at a surf shop in west Africa. The burritos were awesome! Homemade tortillas, beans, jollof rice, avocado and cheese (though I didn’t see any, I like to think it was there). And of course babysitting was included – T helped make our food.

  3. As I'm sitting here in jeans and a sweater I am jealous of these experiences you are having and the warm weather. Oregon is going to be quite the shock when you return home.
