We were sitting 10 days in our camp in Bamako, the German Consul gave us regularly report and supplied us with "beer, made in Germany" to keep us happy.
Thank You Larissa!!!
The last report from Larissa:
"Leave the country, you have 72 hours, after this time the borders out of Mali will be closed"
...so we leave next morning, 6.30 am. direction Senegal.
...a short rest after 6 hours riding through Sahel bushland...
...Sahel, water is precious...
...we are escaping, 4 people, 2 bikes, 1 Landrover and 1 bicycle on top...
...nothing, even not the mali-border can stop us - only the Yamaha...
... solving gearboxproblems...
After 4 days and 1500 km escaping, we reach the Senegal-river...
...we loved Mali, the landscape, the people, the Niger-river, the dust, the heat...
But now we are very happy to be out of this country, all the stress from the last 3 weeks is falling off and we enjoy the french bakery and cafe au lait.
Good to read that you got safe out of Mali. Hope you're doing well now! Enjoy the rest of West-Africa! All the best. Niek (from Green Turtle and Nkwanta, Ghana)
