Not much to report today, a nice short day for a change, and beautiful scenery, we travelled up and down mountainous ranges today and reached max approx 963m above see level (max before was about 778 in Morocco) Our tyres are getting very worn now and we have already got rid of one and bought a new one now on the car) from the organisation, the one we got rid of begun to show the metal it was that badly worn, also it had been wearing unevenly as the rear arm is so bent, We have another spare tyre which has a split in it (from the train tracks!) And now our other spare has also begun showing metal so while driving today we spotted 1 tyre amongst a pile in a village which looked about the right size, We stopped and this was a ‘space saver’ tyre the sort cars have which are intended for temporary use only, well we only need it for a few days! we bought it and had it put on the wheel for 10,000cfa (approx 15 euros) #### At camp this evening the organisation showed some videos people had recorded and showed the movie ‘Up’ but I fell asleep half way through … surprise!
