Bamako – internet and smog…

BAMAKO – crowded streets full of smog; wide Niger river; dusty bazar… Yes – there is internet acces in the capital of Mali – slow and not very reliable. It cost 500 per hour. My maibox is full… Many people do not know that I am on the hard trail in Africa. They ask for advice… Yemen, Pacific, Venezuela questions… I have very limited time and it cost a lot here to answer – if the computer is slow /yes, it is very slow!/ but how can I refuse if they address to me “the Master”??? Thanks to all of you for greetings, wishes and moral support…
Tomorrow I am taking a local bus to Douentza – Niger direction -13 hours drive- I do not know when and where there will be a chance to check the e-mail box again. Just keep your fingers crossed please!
