Wow! Timbuktu or Tombouctou. the fabled and mysterious city. The end of the road. The ultimate off the beaten path destination. Putting the "lonely" in Lonely planet. It is still hard for me to believe that I made it to Timbuktu (and made it back!) A once in a lifetime experience....and really once is more than enough. |

Good to see your pictures of Timbuktu. Must be a long journey, and dusty. Is the land mostly flat? What time of year were you there? Greetings from John in Mahwah NJ | angiebabe Sat Sep 8, 2007 05:54 UTC
So you went independently - can i do that or should i go by tour if i go as a solo traveller?(too expensive!) guess i should find a partner!but thanks for leading the way! | Helga67 Wed Nov 1, 2006 16:25 UTC
