Bandiagara, Mali

So for Christmas we are here in Bandiagara, Mali. We are staying at a campsite and there is another tour group here so people to hang out with. For christmas we have a huge pig on a spit. I just had spag bol, the others had chicken and chips, the chicken having just arrived still live, carried in upside down by a local lady




On boxing day we are going walking in the Dogon country for 3 or 4 days. A long hike so hopefully not too hungover.



Before this we were in Djenne where there was another crazy market, and the biggest mud mosque in the world. We had lots of fun with the local kids, wanting their picture taken and then looking at it. They showed us some dancing and we joined in a bit. And we played soccer. And we taught them the YMCA dance. Then we went on a two day river cruise which was fun, a bit cramped but we had a swim and enjoyed the scenery.
