We are in Mali

We arrived in Bamako the capital of Mali on Friday evening. Saturday we checked out town, visited the National Museum which has a great collection of West African cultural antiquities and braved a number of the markets.

Sunday we head out to Djenne and Mopti (check out the mosques here and here) before carrying on up the Niger river to Timbuktu. We will also go through the Dogon Country and if it isn't too hot (unlikely) we may go trekking.
