3600, 3700, 3800, 3900 miles - Kayes to Bamako


Breakfast at the hotel; a failed attempt to exchange money (on a Sunday); a swift change of a rear bulb that had failed; a stop to fuel up, and then a tarmac road (with péage and potholes) to Bamako. Not the most exciting day!

We heard that the Renault had finally died on the road to Bamako (failed piston rings) and that the Nomad'ers had towed it 130km to Diema, where Nelson had put his bargaining skills to good use and flogged it for incredibly good money given its lack of engine! Apparently the sound system was the main selling point...
