13th Jan - Auberge Beledougou
| As night fell the group felt the pressure of days of mechanical trouble... and with just 80k to go the Panda and Cheap Trick head on for Bamako and remainder (the 205 and two 4x4s without lights) head into the bush for free-camping. To be be met by a nice gent with a 30'' machette who thought it may not be possible for us to camp... really he was very polite... so we dropped in here instead. The proprietor Mountaga-Bane was dressed in a 2-peice suit, and sold us beers and made fish and chips on a one ring gas burner in the yard. All the water comes from the well, and the electicity from solar panels on the roof. Happy night. We said we't handle his global marketing - so remember where yuo heard it first. |
