Tataouine: Phantom Menace

We took a two day trip to a town called Tataouine. Pics of the Tataouine Journey. Things didn't work out so well. These shared minivan things called louages have regular routes but won't go until they have enough customers. So we waited for 2 hours then made a deal with the other passengers to pay for the empty seats. You'll notice I took pics of the station other louages, etc while waiting.

Then we couldn't find the Ksar (nifty old building type) we wanted to see once we arrived. We hadn’t packed for another day and there was only one bus daily (and we didn't want to take another louage) so we returned first thing the next day. The bus ride wasn’t ideal either. Twice the driver pulled over to tinker with the engine.

Oh well, sometimes it just doesn't work out.

The "Phantom Menace" in the title of this post? Some other Star Wars episodes were films around Tataouine. Maybe not the Phantom Menace but it sounds good.
