We are both officially knackered and and very happy to be in Accra in Ghana. Getting here was hard work, especialy Mali.
Well since our last post we've had more than a few 'arse clenchers', not least of which was the clever idea of crossing the Senegal river into Mali by putting both bikes (one at a time) into a pirogue (tree trunk with a hole in the middle). Talk about nervous....! Having ridden for two days through forest and scrub to get to the river side, we presumed (doom, doom, i hear you cry.) there'd be a bridge of some type...nope. Just two very happy locals looking for some business. The idea of turning back, was stomach churning and we were told that there was no bridge for several hundred Km in iehter direction, so we didn't have much choice.
