Destination: Mali

Just spoken briefly to Alex this evening and they have finally crossed the border into Nioro, Mali and are now heading for the capital and final destination Bamako! They are planning to go to Bamako first, then to Timbuktu, then back to Bamako again, so fingers crossed will make it well within time. Camping tonight somewhere en route.
