Write an entry Entries about this placeUntitled by langenoireI want to go to Timbuktu! It’s legendary, after all. I hope to be able to do a bit of touring in Africa some day. It seems to be neglected as a travel destination because of troubles in certain countries. To avoid the entire continent is a bit like never going to NYC because of the crime rate in LA. over 6 years agoUntitled by is procrastinating as we speakI served in the Peace Corps in Mali for 2 years. It changed my life and I will always be grateful to this wonderful country and its wonderful people. Mali, tu me manques beaucoup. over 6 years agobus from bamako to timbuktu by howiewowieI went by bus from bamako to timbuktu, but I decided to fly back to bamako on the way back. From Djenne to Timbuktu, the busride was a nightmare by the end. Bring a full box of water for each person on this trip. I was there during end April-May so it was SUPER hot, and you will drink all the water and be happy you brought it when your vehicle’s fuel tank breaks and you are sitting in the desert w/ your companions telling you stories of bandits for 8 hours. We had many flat tires and then the fuel tank broke. Many hours after the fuel tank broke, another vehicle came by and assisted us. They put gas up on the top of the vehicle and fed it thru a tube down the window in the hot sun into the hood. We were about two hours into timbuktu driving like this. Somebody was even smoking in the back seat! I made them put it out. I LOVEMALI though. One of my favorite countries in Africa as well as the world. Super nice people. They have some interesting stickers you won’t find in Miami, Florida. Rambo, Bin Laden, Madonna, and Arafat ones among many other funny ones you can by at the markets on the cars cars and motorcycles. You see madonna next to laden side by side! Can’t wait to go back! Make sure you know some french to get by. over 6 years agoSee all 18 entries |
