15th November - day in Bamako

By text: 1pm
Now on my way to Lunch, where Matt will tell us what he's learned about the situation in Timbuktu and what our choices are.









2pm
Briefing had, decision made, and I'm excited. Timbuktu is on, not in old cars, but in landcruisers with local driver/guides. The schedule is designed around my flight, which means a 6am start tomorrow. So no repeat of last nights performance - six of us clubbing until 4am - not leaving until we saw the bottom of the third litre of Absolut.
