Mali: Peaceful war land

We are very proud and very happy we went into Mali. No travel advice recommends visiting Mali in these days, but we were informed it was a beautiful country and that around Bamako it should be safe. In fact it was, we survived it and, even more, we loved it!

I just leave you with some random pictures for you to enjoy. No Mopti nor Timbuktou (we didn’t think it was safe enough to go there)!

Other curiosity is that we spent 10 nights in Mali, and we didn’t pay for a single one. The first night we stayed in a village with (almost) no man, then Samuel hosted us in Bamako, we stayed in a Chinese sugarcane plant close to Segou and we used our 2 seconds tent the rest of the way till we left to Burkina Faso!
