Djibouti
// November 7th, 1996 // Djibouti, Passage To Africa
After several wonderful days at sea cruising down the East African coast we reached Djibouti, a tiny country on the elbow of Africa. I believe our cruise director summed it up perfectly in his Port Talk “I think the only reason we stop in Djibouti is because the fuel’s cheap. We will have shuttle busses running to the main part of town, but my quess is you’ll come back on the same one you went in on.” (Ok, so I actually did get off the shuttle – I caught the next one back to the ship, 15 minutes later.)
In fact the place is sooo seedy that the Captain requested everyone back on board at 5pm, well before dark, even though we didn’t sail until 9pm. The shopping sucks too – way overpriced!
