How to bargain with the gods - Part 2

Togo with a touch HAZARD (continued, p.2) In Kpalime we had a base for exploring the waterfalls and KPIM Vome, the first of which represents a multiple threads, falling down a cliff, the second hidden from prying eyes in the jungle near the Ghanaian border. To place the inspection of these sites have brought to the local motorcycle guys that called Bruno and Pascal. The trip was no less interesting than the actual visit to the waterfalls. And at the end of the road we came across a small gang of young thieves who masqueraded as "official" ticket sellers to the waterfalls. They had to pay a little bit, so they untied from us. The road to the waterfall Vome could be called roads only with a very big stretch. All its surface was littered with stones and covered with puddles and potholes. Bruno and Pascal - both guys stayed confident, and we welcomed the joyous cries of overcoming the obstacles of every evil. Lou all four of us falls very much. It was amazing how Bruno managed to celebrate a motorcycle with one hand while eating boiled corn with the other arm. I even once sighed with relief when, finally, it dozheval. True, he immediately began to pull out of your teeth stuck bits. Oh, this corn! It seems as if the whole of Togo looks just fine and calm, and even hard to imagine that the last time this happened folk speech on political grounds. When we went to the coastal city of Lome, the capital of Togo - and we traveled there in a minibus packed to capacity in the trunk, along with five live turkeys - we felt as though we were on another planet. Set on a beautiful white sand beach is better not to go if you do not want to be robbed. Large indoor market, called the Grand Marsh, full of life and energy, however, it is located in one of the areas of criminal Lome. After sunset, I felt on the streets quite uncomfortable, and I have time and again raised the question: and what good African country of Togo? I thought of Dakar. See, not all are equally enjoyable trip. I imagine I can not, as I will describe (and Seth pictures) city that is safe enough to walk on his foot. True, we both managed to study in detail the interior design of hotel rooms, where we stopped. Bruno and Pascal Impressions of Lome have improved somewhat since we were able to visit the market a voodoo, "the market amulets. Our guide has branded this place, calling it a "tourist attraction". Although, when you come to Him in his life-threatening the capital and look at the rows of stalls filled to the top of the skulls and horns, and inhale the disgusting smell from the dried saliva of animals in mind as something not thought occurs that all who something could tune specially for tourist excursions. Entrance fee has to pay here. You can also hire a guide. We've got friendly fellow who, thank God, overshadowing a little sinister atmosphere of this place and from time to time drove the boys who followed us with a bucketful of chameleons and beg for money. Setu also liked this place, he was here a great opportunity to photograph whatever he pleases. Start material: Completion of material:
