10th November - The next day.

The Radiator repair seems to be working okay - it has been fully tested by potholes this morning and doing better than the people. Rosie and I left the Dakar night club at 2:30am after too many vodka Red Bulls - while Matt was still going strong!

The Alarm at 5:30, and on the road by 6 was painful.

Todays drive good but very long. Just under 300 miles in a 12 hour day on the road - after 3 hours sleep. the potholes were a welcome relief to keep me alert! Now in a lovely campsite in Tambacounda. we're in a small village with loads of children who are very excited to see us. A little girl helped me pitch my tent and erect the camp bed. Now preparing supper, with a few drops of rain - very refreshing.
