This video is part two of my travels in Mali, West Africa in 1989, using photos taken then. I talk about my adventures on the boat journey from Timbuctu to Mopti and mention food, health and modesty issues.
This is not a gardening video but is the long version of how I came to call my house/garden/channel Douentza.
