Day 76, 7999 km, Mopti, Mali.

I had been starting to think my stomach was invincible to Africa's street food .. how wrong I was! After a second day of sickness and having cycled 130km on a bottle of coke, a fanta, a pro plus and a couple of glucose biscuits I was feeling pretty weak by the time I got to Mopti. Fortunately I found some great value digs that even has a swimming pool plus other Westerners to hang out with and chat English so I've started a course of antibiotics and plan to rest up tomorrow.

Hello Rob, I'm glad you are taking some time to recover from some hard days - you sound in need of a bit of TLC and it's great you have found somewhere with some company and a place to rest. I am lost in admiration for your perseverance and staying power. I have been telling the grandchildren about your adventures and they regard you with amazement even though they can't really comprehend the vast journey you are making. I hope you will feel refreshed and revived soon and can look forward to your next rendezvous with Helen. Much love, Vanessa x

Hi Rob,

I've been trying to sent comments, txts etc but not having much luck. Enjoy the recovery time - much respect and love. I'll be seeing Helen, Steph, Ren and Fi this evening.

Hey bro

Hope you are having a good rest for your brain and body! it is quite a mission you are putting yourself through. Like Jen and Dave say, the tough times will make the good even better. Cool that it's not long til Helen arrives. Enjoy the R and R!
