A few more miles to Mopti and Djenné

We spent our last three days driving to Mopti (650km, not including Ana's 50km detour towards the border with Ivory Coast), visiting Djenné (120km backwards to see the largest mud mosque in the world), and driving back to Bamako again. A nice chance to play "tourist" for a couple of days, though still a lot of time in the car.





We were a few hundred km from Timbuktu at our closest point - another day would have seen us there! The guys who did make it say that it was a bit of a disappointment, though, so I'm happy not visiting and just continuing to imagine instead...
