Timbuktu / Timbouctou

I don't know if I have ever mentioned it but I have been thinking for a while that I would like to go to Timbuktu (that the English spelling; Timbouctou is the french spelling).
Today in the book store I saw a book "the meanings of Timbuktu" it was a collection of paper from a conference on the History of Timbuktu with obviously particular emphasis on the manuscripts which are there and the old universities.

I'd love to go to Timbuktu but mostly I want to go to Mopti.

Now I remember typing the name "Mopti" so I must have blogged about it earlier.
