Timbuktu

We can hardly believe it but we have finally made it to Timbuktu. Arrived around 12.30pm today.
TB2 as we people with the tee shirt call it is much nicer and sandier than Bamako. A bit like Burnley with sand.
Very, very, very hot. Oh, and did we mention the sand?
Getting away may be a lot harder as they seem to change the time of flights or even cancel them completely without telling anyone.
Before coming here we spent a couple of days in Djiema with Pam Young - the lady who runs Village Ventures. She is one of the recipients of the donations from the rally.
We visited a couple of villages and met the people that benifit from the whole thing.
We'll post some pictures as soon as we can get a decent internet connection - this is the slowest in the world.
The visit was perhaps the best thing we have done since the rally ended but was also upsetting in a way. More later.
