Here tar: outside the cities, only major roads are paved. We left Bamako to Bougouni, almost 200 miles south. Across the road, small villages. People everywhere, especially when there is market. Then there is a crowd: can be reached by minibuses overloaded, bike or walk around. People walk a lot, especially women who come from villages in the bush: they are many miles to sell their products: vegetables, son of cotton, etc. ... In every village there are mosques, some quite old, but an impressive number of recent construction. All the way, we see only two or three churches, especially that of the edge Farakala tar (37 km before Sikasso), built with your support! Here we stopped at the edge of the tar, just after Bougouni. We still have 130 km, but the road is good. Not much time to lose: the sun is about to set, and night driving is dangerous because people who walk along the road or with their donkey cart and have no lighting. Night has fallen and the last hour we drove with caution: we joined Sikasso tired but in good shape!
