Slow Boating All The Way To Timbuktu
... us. The adults were just as friendly and, although our trip is far from complete, you really get a sense of warm hospitality in Mali which is something of a pleasant surprise given the accounts I had read from other travellers. Day 3 was a little more of ...
Back from Timbuktu
We had a really bumpy ride for two days going south from Timbuktu back to Sevare, Mali. Also in typical African fashion, we had to wait for 3 hours for a ferry, because some government official was passing through and requisitioned the next ferry for ...
AMERICAN-RUN REFUGE
Stay in Mac's Refuge--clean little hotel run by an American with Malian missionary connections. Interesting group of travellers---an English group with an elderly lady in her 80's, Penelope; and a couple of sisters from Richmond ...
Encore Sevare
Sevare est un noeud de communication donc on y passe toujours. Sevare n etait qu une etape pour prendre un bus vers Bamako. Pas de chance quand on ne part entre 6H et 8H du matin, 10H ou bien 15H on prends les compagnies de bus qui sont pourries et donc ...
Happy New Year - Refuge at last
... seen to be believed, and it blows for days. Anyway, after two days in Bandiagara I was pretty keen to move on, and get to Sevare, as I heard there was a really nice place to stay called Mac's Refuge. I was pretty eager to be there for New Year's eve, ...
Day 43 45 - Mali, Djiguibombo - Dogon Trek
Three day trek of the Dogon country begins. Up early and met by Ali Baba and his "large" van - once again he seems not to have noted that we're not the size of 5 year olds. Thankfully its only an hour drive so after saying goodbye to ...
Day 15: Sevare so Good
... and my work in Mopti is done. I cram myself both horizontally and vertically into a taxi brouche and trundle off to Sevare, greatly simplifying (I hope) tomorrow's bus trip back to Bamako. I book into Via Via (a Thorntree recommendation) and ...
Day 40 - Mali, Sevare - Are We There Yet?
... to come quickly. We finally reached Tarmac and Dejeroux, where we stopped for lunch briefly before completing our Timbuktu odyssey back in Sevare. For 4 adventurers (Sam, Suzy, Muz and Luke), their travels were just ...
Sevare
C est la ville au Mali ou tout le monde passe. Elle na aucun charme mais se trouve au milieu du pays et est donc devenu un hub de transport. Le seul bon point c est un hotel sympathique et pas trop cher pour le Mali le repos ...
the education of an idealist
we have distributed pencils to lots of villages in Mali especially in the small most remote villages . erins first question is to meet the chief and see if there is a school; and then distribute the pencils through him : ...
Day 35 - Mali, Sevare - Wifi & Swimming Pools
... they reluctantly paid the added on 4,000 (US$8) and walked out . Our campsite is just outside Mopti, a place called Sevare, hotel Via Via, which was full of lizards running around the floor and walls... some being multicoloured which we later found to ...

Sévaré, January 4, 2009 - Sunday
... and therefore, even if Mopti still was – and would remain - the place where you arranged every possible excursion worth undertaking in Mali, Sévaré too profited from tourism. So this came as no surprise to me. In short, this bus ride was one of ...
Niger River Cruise Part I, Mali, November 9,2007
... headwaters not far from the Atlantic in the Guinean highlands in a broad arc towards the northeast, southeast, and then southwards through Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. To travel by river the 200 or so miles from Mopti to Timbuktu is considered one of ...
Road Back From Timbuktu, Mali, Nov 13 - 14, 2007
Since we arrived in Timbuktu by boat and left by road (mostly), I think it's appropriate to call it the road from Timbuktu rather than the road to Timbuktu. Either way, though, I can now say I've been to Timbuktu and back. We returned to the ...
Still somewhere on the Niger...
... out with identical looks of "let's get the hell out of here" on our faces. I haven't written much about this but Mali is one of teh poorest countries in the world which explains much of our reception. I always feel rather guilty in these ...
...where the living is easy part 2
Yes, I'm still in Severe. Can't seem to leave the place - I think it's the wonderful food at Mac's. Original plan was to grab the night bus last night when we got back from the Dogon but just as I was packing up to go, found out that Toumani Diabete ...
...where the living is easy
... suppose I am at a point in my life where I can do anything. If I wanted to, I could jack it all in and settle in Mali and find some work here to do. Or even just decide to ignore my return ticket and head, metaphorically, to the hills. Its not ...
und wir dachten unsere Reise sei beschwerlich...
