14th November - To Bamako
by text - 12:02
Very good nights sleep - at 1400 feet, so much cooler than it has been. Then only 90 miles into Bamako.
Rosie rode with me and it was a very scenic journey, through rural villages of smiling waving people, women with infeasibly large loads on their heads and babies on their backs. Also colourful markets and goats travelling on the back of bicycles, motorbikes and the roofs of trucks and buses.

Somehow we lost David and Jacky on the outskirts of Bamako so guided by the GPS co-ordinates, arrived at the Sleeping Camel, Matt's Auberge, at 11am.

Now well into my first beer and everyone's arrived.
Very hot, and arriving in Bamako
