Great way to see a different side of Chad

The Gauoi village is about an hour outside N'Djamena, and provides a great way to see a small Chadian village. The village produces pottery and has items for purchase (thought the focus certainly isn't on the small tourism industry in Chad- pottery is more for residents). Communication with the tour company was great, and they made the experience enjoyable and educational.
