The Well of The Big Navel

So Timbuktu and back again.

We left Mopti last Thursday and headed up to Timbuktu on a cargo boat through - sleeping-on-bags-of-rice-tastic. The journey up through the Niger Delta was incredible, not least because I saw a hippo and Luke didn't, mwah ha ha.

Timbuktu was suitably renote, dusty and Saharan, just like it should be. And, as we'd figured, there wasn't a fat lot to do there. Spent just under thirty six hours tehre before slowly winding back along dirt tracks towards civilisation.
