Day 9: Ride back to Bamako : the bus out of space.
We took the 7 am Bani Transport bus back to Bamako. After 10 days of seeing donkey carts and cars that escaped the junkyards of Europe to find eternal life in Africa, the shiny jewel of a bus we were to take looked like it had fallen from space and landed amid the messy Mopti bus station. They were loading sheep, clay pots, and baskets on the other time & road beaten buses. Ours was a slick shiny silver machine with tinted windows.
(La fin - we return to Bamako on the bus out of space)
