Dec 3, 2007 - Banfora/Obire

Dec 2 Spent most of the day trying to arrange transport to Loropeni, 39 km west of Gaoua on road to Banfora.ancient ruins whose origins remain a mystery & nearby the village of Obire and the Sanctuaire de Roi Gan(remains of a sanctuary of the Gan kings). ... A fellow(guide) stopped Jake on the street and since he spoke some English we could get info for a day trip which amounted to a 4 to 5 hour drive each way ! He had trouble getting his vehicle to come so we could see it and meet the driver so we also checked into the only travel agency listed in the LP to get prices from them.Dec 2 Spent most of the day trying to arrange transport to Loropeni, 39 km west of Gaoua on road to Banfora.ancient ruins whose origins remain a mystery & nearby the village of Obire and the Sanctuaire de Roi Gan(remains of a sanctuary of the Gan kings). ...
