Dispatch: MALI August 23rd, 2007
We are in Bamako, Mali. Chiho and I spent about ten days in Dakar, getting sorted out and hunting for visas to Mali, Ghana, Cameroon, Niger and Burkina Faso. Equipped with a variety of colorful little stamps and stickers in our passports, we finally said goodbye to Dakar and headed for Mali. Still in Senegal though, on the road between Kaolack and Tambacounda, we were for the first time confronted with two realities that will pose a continuing challenge on our African journey: Bad roads and rain.
