Shymkent- Day 2
I fell horribly ill last night. It was probably either the strawberries or the borscht. I was pretty much attached to the toilet so we will stay another night in the pricy room. I stayed in bed until noon making … Continue reading
African Adventure- Day 41
We left Zinder fairly late and arrived in Maradi for lunch. While we were in the local hotel/restaurant we met a group of consultants for the UN. It was not a surprise to see such a large presence of foreign … Continue reading
African Adventure- Day 40
Today we visited the very sorry Sultan’s Palace. It appeared to be an impressive mud bricked structure from the outside but was stark and crumbling in the inside. We lingered outside for a few minutes trying to get information on … Continue reading
