Rainy season August 2004: The road is flooded, so we prepare to spend the night on a beach mat.
Watching a 4 x 4 struggle
to make it across
the flooded street.
Ferry at Gao, unfinished bridge
in the background (right). The bridge is finished now, I've been told. Good reason to go back there.
Ferry at Koreamé, 13 km from Timbuktu.
The staff is friendly at the "Hotel Atlantide"
Pedicure at the "Hotel Atlantide"
The tomb and mosque of the Askias is one of the sights to see when in Gao.
In the distance behind the street light
"La Dune Rose"
On the waterfront one block down from the
"Hotel Atlantide" is the market which used to
be the police station (below). Touareg with their
sheep, in the background rice fields (above).
A boat full of straw for the animals.
The nights are cold in the desert.
Trip from Timbuktu to Gao 2/2006.
The Mosque and Tomb of the Askias is one of
the sights of Gao to see.
