RTS: No place to stay, part I

Extraordinary adventures from long drive back from Festival au desert in Timbuktu to Sévaré, a ride across half of Mali. Starting early in the morning and arriving late in the evening to find there is no place to crash. What would you do?

RTS: Yoff plage

Story of a simple stroll around Yoff, a suburb in Dakar, Senegal on my last afternoon in the country before scheduled return to Bamako, Mali. Discovery of a local gym on the beach, followed by a proper fish market right there on the sandy beach and all wrapped up with a nice cold bottle of La Gazelle in a plastic stool.

Joal & Fadiouth, Sénégal

Twin village of Joal & Fadiouth on Senegalese Petite CĂ´te was my last port of call before returning to Dakar and return flight to Bamako, Mali. Discovering hidden gems along with friendly and chatty locals and miles and miles of sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches.

Pinasse

Enjoying the slow pace of river life while going on a 3 day pinasse trip from Mopti to Lac Debo and back on Niger river in Mali.

Back in Mali

When you run out of options, you gotta come up with something right? So instead of going to Cotonu, Benin or Lomé, Togo I have retourned to Mopti, Mali.
