"Luscious Fruit of Togo" a Togo Travel Page by niamey00

Togo is a strange little country. It has a
coastline of barely 25 miles, but extends
inland for over 200 miles. Along the
coast there are several old colonial towns;
inland there are remains of German
hospital stations from the brief period of
German colonization. Lomé, the capital,
has a lonely feel to it. The government
buildings, all abandoned except for
armed guards, are riddled with bullet and
mortar holes. They haven't been used in
ages, at least for their intended purposes.
We hadn't really intended to go to Togo,
but the only way to fly to Nairobi from
Niamey was to go overland to Lomé and
fly from there. We had several days to
laze away here before our flight. Read
