Timbuktu

Sorry - no new news for the RTS website - it was supposed to be today but looks like it will take longer. Keep checking.

For now - Charlie says: "Our duty on earth is to live the best lives we can so we can help other people live the best lives they can. Don't feel guilty about what you have, just make sure you do your best to make other people's lives better."

Charlie, Ray, and Kevin are now between Timbuktu and Gao, just above the Niger river.
"Mali is a beautiful place with very friendly people and very big mosquitoes."
It also has great sandunes in which they camped along top of one night.
"It was like being in a high rise building looking over the rest of the city."
Under a great big full moon, it's sure to an amazing sight!

Timbukto has around 150,000 - 200,000 people, so you can imagine the welcome that was given to these great runners as they entered into this wonderful place.

stay tuned........
