That's right! Early today, around 8am, the Budapest-Bamako 2011 started! AfroTeam was proudly on stage after 8 days of travel from the Algarve (South of Portugal) and has now to face 15000 kms!

Both Pilot and Co-Pilot, António Vilela and António Vargues, respectively, were already into the Africa spirit with the appropriate costume!

Thanks to all our sponsors, supporters, friends and family. Let the adventure really begin!
