... this base was what we were looking for in terms of location but far from comfortable so we kept busy by going out and about a lot. <br><br>We wandered around the coastal villages and soaked up some sun, sea of sand, still relieved to leave the resorts at the end of the day due to the hassle they harbour but having a relaxing time together. It is tiresome telling the same stories to touts intent on taking your time and ...

... beaches of the Basse, we debated whether to do this or rough it over land to The Gambia but get there safe and sound for some sun, sea and sand...<br><br>Going for the safe option as incidents involving travellers in Basse Casamance have occurred only this month so making a trip there would seem silly, we were on the first fumigated bus to the border of The Gambia...or so we ...

... was lovely and leaving wasn't easy at all. <br><br>Anyway, we had<br>diving in Dakar to distract us and so soon settled into the incredible<br>Oceanium right beside the sea and sorted ourselves out with a<br>dive...back out at gorgeous Goree...couldn't keep us away eh! Being<br>back beneath the waves was wicked and as ever worlds away from any<br>experience on land. Lovely!<br><br><br><br>XXX<br><br>XXX<b r><br>

... lights and lots of senegalese men offereing to take you to your campement on the back of a scooter!Its not a nice experience to have in the dark! We managed to find our way to Keur Youssou to meet some other friends without the aid of the scooter men and got settled in to our lovely campement which was costing us about 7 pounds per night. not bad!<br>The next day we took a boattrip and a donkey ride to ...

... a small amount of cultural sensitivity goes quite a long way. In terms of local food culture, I highly rated the chicken and beef domoda and yassa dishes, which were relatively simply put together, but did not compromise on the overall taste factor, and since a substantial portion of the country's revenue is generated by the fishing industry, freshly-caught fish is commonplace. A miniature version of a Gambian drum ...

Passei dois dias com as raparigas na aldeia meio à parte do mundo. Uma aldeia onde coabitam apenas duas familias, a familia Diédhiou e a familia Sonko, que se casam e têm filhos entre eles. Cada uma das 8 kubatas que visitei, o casal era invariavelmente formado por um Diédhiou e por uma Sonko,ou vice-versa. Insistiram para que não partisse e fui forçado a usar a melhor desculpa que tinha, acrescida do benificio de ser verdadeira ...

... délicate. La solution c'était d'accepter l'invitation de celui qu'allait descendre en premier et deux jours après aller chez celui qui habitait plus loin, plus proche encore de la frontière. Voilà comment je me suis retrouvé dans un tout petit village entre Bognina et Diouloulou en Casamance, Baline. A noite conversei com a policia de fronteiras da Gâmbia e os dreds garantiram-me que de manhã me metiam o visto de trânsito no passaporte, mas que teria de passar a noite do ...

Bonjour aus Ziguinchor! hach, ist das schoen, wied** hi** zu sein.

5.30 pm on a Friday after a day checking out the metropolitan capital of west Africa which is Dakar we presented ourselves at the check in for the Willis Ferry that would take use all the way pas The Gambia and into the Casamance region of Senegal. The boat didn't leave till 8 so watched the sun set and while we were taking off from the port we got to see Dakar by night. Still very quickly we could only see different shades of black with a bright moon as ...

Gest**n sind wir von Dakar nach Ziguinchor in d** Casamance im Süden Senegals gefahren. Eine echt abenteu**liche Tour, was vor allem am desolaten Zustand d** Strassen in Gambia sowie an uns**em wenig V**trauen **weckenden Gefährt lag. Wir sind mit einem "sept place" gefahren, einem alten Peugeot-Kombi mit zwei Rücksitzbänken, so dass insgesamt Platz für sieben Fahrgäste ist. Wobei die auf d** hint**en Bank sich ganz schön quetschen müssen. Ich hab ein bisschen mehr ...
