Day 19: Bamako

We made it to Bamako yesterday afternoon, where we've holed up in the very decent Sofitel, overlooking the River Niger, with the incredible West African Central Bank building to our west, and a delightful rubbish dump to the east. Getting into Bamako was the most insane driving experience so far, particularly after the quiet and mostly smooth road down through Mali from the bush camp (you'll be pleased to know we were undisturbed by jackals or angry tribesmen).
Today we're going to take some things with a couple of other teams, to a school for disabled (or possibly orphaned) children, and then catch up with all of our photos and video clips. We fly back on the 5th, so there should be time for more adventures with Titch Extreme before she's handed over to the organisers herein Bamako.
