Distance travelled since last update: 690 kms

Muppets say: High 30’s. Our last night in Niger before turning south-east into Nigeria. The Kiwi is rather bleak that the leap year has delayed his birthday by a day, but does mean we can celebrate in the “dry” Islamic town of Kano – at least it is English speaking!
