Trade not Aid

The last stop before the final assult on Timbuktu... we spent the evening and morning trading... a last chance to jettison stuff and lighten the vehicles. Everyone wants to buy... you only have to open the car door and it means Open For Business. This man is a Touareg. He had over a hundred Chamels and Dave sold him the car radio and shovel and we gave him our two hi-vis bibs as a cadeau. Good for entene cordial... and Lee turns out to be a very good trader indeed, obviously some Arab in him somewhere.
