Taxi to Bamako

You dont come to Mali lightly, at dusk in Bamako you cant breathe with the pollution. Its dirty, incredibly smelly, dusty and poor but has the most wonderful people. The ladies look fantastic in wonderful, bright colours, carrying their wares on their heads and sometimes their babies on their backs.You love it and hate it alternativley and sometimes at the same time. Its bloody hot, you have to keep covered or you fry, at night it goes down to 24c! We sleep under mozzie nets with a fan and AC.
