Day 4.

Watching French television in the hotel restaurant before the drive back to N'Djamena to meet up with Jordan (hauteboy).


After the one hour drive from Douguia, we got to the Novotel in N'Djamena to pick up Jordan. Jordan is on a mission to visit every country in the world (and only 18 to go after this trip). After avidly reading his trip reports to lots of exotic locale I asked if I could join him on his next Africa trip. Thankfully he didn't mind me tagging along.

We then drove through the bustling streets of N'Djamena for the 10 kilometre journey out east to Gaoui.


Gaoui is a small village ~10 kilometres from N'Djamena.


The former sultan’s palace has been turned into a small museum that focuses on the culture of the local Sao People.


The Sultan's impressive mud castle.


Decorative art on the walls.


We then headed out for a walk in the village. Some of the boisterous local boys posing for a photo.
