Timbouctou
Welcome to Timbouctou!
We rode camels out into the desert and spent the night by the sand dunes, then rode the camels back in the next day. Wearing of a turban is apparently required for camel riding!
The lead camel gets to wear a fancy headress!
One of the mosques in the city
The 4x4 that drove us through the desert. They definitely don't make it easy to get there (unless you want to fly directly in but where's the fun in that!?)

Still can't believe it! Not too many people can say they've been to Timbouctou (and back), or ridden a camel! Glad you got some pics. Love that camel picture! Looks like a happy camel, maybe because she got to wear the fancy headress!
