Today we met up with the Dragoman tour group to have a pre-departure meeting. Only half an hour late after going to the other Niagara hotel in Accra, it looks like there are about 16 travelers and two guides.
Dinner tonight at 7pm, departure at 7:30am tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to getting on the road, sitting on the roof of the bus, and taking in the wind.
Last night--uneventful. Got a little local joopa(?) rice, turned out to be quite spicy, mostly rice and chilis I think. Did some reading, did some more sleeping. Woke up only once in the middle of the night to Alia freaking out about a mosquito (though I don't like them either). There haven't seemed to be too many bugs yet, but I've been assured by David, our guide, that it'll get worse and malaria is a real problem here.
Things to look forward to:
1. Ougadougou
2. Dogon trek in Burkina Faso
3. The largest mud building in the world, the Djenne (pronounced jenny)Mud Mosque.
It sounds like there is going to be very little internet access until we get back on the 25th of June.
12 days to Timbuktu!
