Only 20kms today but it took several hours. A very beautiful route through remote Dogon villages running below a high sandstone cliff into which many of the houses were built.
The track was soft deep sand and for long stretches it was a case of 3 meters at a time on the sand ladders, but no longer absolute beginners at driving in such conditions, we made steadt progress and were nearly stage winners!
In the evening, we slaughtered some goats (no really) and enjoyed a most excellent dinner with the treat of goats testicles after the main course. Quite nice really and Helen ate several. This was followed by a live performance by one of Mali's toppermost bands, Embryo Dogon, in the dry river bed beside our tents.
PS this is a picture of Morocco, but I thought it was quite nice...
