18th November - Trekking in Dogon Territory.

Joined by children and a puppy for breakfast. The children got watermelon but the puppy had to settle for the washing up water.

Fantastic day today - trekking in Dogon territory - beautiful and primitive. Google it. It felt great to use our legs.


We have now set up our mosquito nets to sleep on the roof of a house, have been serenaded by local children, had a dribble of a shower and waiting for food.

Tomorrow: Breakfast at 6:30, hike up a cliff face, then motorbike pillion ride for an hour to meet a 4x4 which will take me to Bamako for my flight home. I may have some Internet there and be able to upload some more photos.

Do see Tom's blog which picks up at Bamako, to follow the cars on down to Ghana for the next 12 days: http://www.saharanexpeditions.org/Sahara_2010/Blog/Archive.html
