A shithole named Snoul

The trusty Lonely Planet Guide said that the best thing about Snoul was that the road out of town was now tarmac.

Snoul is nothing more than an assortment of grotty and dirty hovels surrounding, what they call, a bus station. In reality the bus station is a rubbish tip with the towns flotsam and jetsom blowing alongside the dust. Even the towns 5 football fields are totally covered with all assortments of plastic rubbish bags and Chinese cracker wrappers. Snotty nosed and weepy eyed kids roll around in the fine, red dust as the parent/s looks on in adoration from their fruit stand.

If you ever have to pass through Snoul (and we sincerily hope that you don't) make it a quick one!

PS: There is little wonder why the local government in Snoul have installed a series of "speed humps" to the entrance of town - in order to slow the traffic down. Otherwise, we are sure, cars, pick-ups, buses and trucks alike would scream through the town in the blink of an eye. Obviously NOT one of our favourite destinations :)
