20th November

Home today - very mundane international flight, with only the usual annoyances - nothing compared to the journey I've done, and the others are continuing with.

As far as I know, Dave and Jacky, Mark and Sue, Oliver and Ian are all in Timbuktu. I'll be keeping the blog going with any updates they send about the next couple of weeks, which should take them through Burkina Faso and Mole National Park, finishing in Elmina to visit Sabre Trust's Ghanaian headquarters and see schools they have built. Many thanks to those who have contributed towards the next one.

It feels odd to be home, with the adventure continuing without me, but there's so much I need to catch up on - I couldn't have stayed any longer. Now to dream of the next trip.....
