Once again we forgot we were in Africa. The bikes http://www.travelblog.org//Africa/Mali/Centre/Djenne/blog-271204.html Next on our itinerary was the Monday Market in the city of Djenne. The city is famous for having the largest mud structure in the world the mosque of course and a very large market on Mondays. It was here that we've seen more tourists than we have anywhere in West Africa. Literally every tourist in Mali must have arrived in Djenne at the same time to see the Monday Market.To be quite honest http://www.travelblog.org//Africa/Mali/Centre/Djenne/blog-221745.html Whoever said roosters crow at the crack of dawn was a liar...they start cockadoodledooing around 4am and don't stop. After a breakfast of millet surprise we repacked our bags and headed out of the campement. It turns out that it is tradition for people to sing upon leaving the campement in Ende so we gamely started with The Circle of Life from Lion King Disney was the only thing we all sort o http://www.travelblog.org//Africa/Mali/Centre/Djenne/blog-208860.html
