Mauri-Mali border update
Due to exceptionall rains and all the offroad border crossings I know being to difficult for our vehicle we opted for the only tarmac border at Gogui-Nioro.
The one I swore to myself never to try again some time ago.
Heh: the compulsory military/gendarmes escort is off the table! We even somehow managed to obtain the laissez-passer touristique from the dreaded chef de Douane at Niror. It cost us 5.000 cfa in all and we were free to go. (as opposed to the usual 1 to 2 days wait and nearly 200 euros of border expenses!)
PS
The tarmac between Didieni and Bamako is in a horrible state.
