Lome, Togo`
 

Got a trip planned in September to Lome, Togo. Has anyone ever been there?? If so, let me know what you thought of it. I would be very interested to hear. We are going to be staying at the Sofitel Hotel on the beach. :yelgreedy

Given up on Montego Bay, James? If you are going, why ask about it? Hotel discount for shilling?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a shithole. :D


...but have fun ;)

The hotel 'star' rating system in Africa:

***** - only The Mamounia in Marrakech (if you have to ask, you can't afford it)
**** - don't believe it
*** - has hot water (at least some of the time)
** - 1 star for each twin bed
* - has something that works (power, water {but don't drink it}, door locks...)

Everytime I see this thread I keep seeing, "Tome, Logo" instead. Which means take the logo. Which of course is pretty nonsensical.

Togo's a country? (frowns, tries to remember back to 5th grade)

It wasn't a country when you were in 5th grade.

ouch, that's cold!

I believe the continent was Pangaea, then... [/piling on]

:p

Nonsense, the nations in central Africa have changed names and borders faster than they can print maps, in the last 40 years.

I will let all of you know what Togo was like when we get back.http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1370/...828166.jpg?v=0

you asked!!!:thepain:

Now that's more like it. That's the link you should have posted instead of the one to three guys with no explanation.
That gives a good idea what being poor in Haiti, is like.

The one of the pigs roaming around the streets rooting through rubble, looking for something to eat kinda drives it home.
