Le Kalissai Village Hotel Ziguinchor

... Serrekunda. Straight away, it appealed to me as it is accessible and easy to explore solo so we walked through the thick forest full of monkeys, monitor lizards and an array of beautiful birds. Brought up on animals and nature, i never tire of trekking around taking all of this in but after a few days of dubious sleep at the YMCA, we were ready to relax and read NEW BOOKS(-:by the end of an ideal day. <br><br>XXX<br><br><br>

... to me as we made our way south. We spent the single most seedy and sickening night at The Barra Hotel/brothel/hell hole before hopping on a ferry for the capital of The Gambia. <br><br>Got an amazing Lebanese breakfast of falafel that made me feel human again and off we went to see Serrekunda, not far from the capital but apparently a hive of activity.<br><br>XXX <br><br> <br>

... FALSE FOOTBALL<br><br>Kick off never comes in this meaningful match for life, <br>Long, indefinate days of desperation diluted by strife.<br><br>Swamped by bold football strips swallowing their hips,<br>Hoards of hungry players prowl affield for tips.<br><br>Arsenal on attack and as ever danger's defence, <br>Do these footballer's fortunes really make sense?<br><br>Scores seem futile when passes and dribbles ...

Really long time since my my last entry! sorry!<br>Went travelling down the coast all the way to Toubakouta to visit the Sine Saloum Delta with some other volunteers. Started off on Monday the 1st, travelled to Dakar to stay for one night in an apartment, cooked for ourselves which made a nice change! Then got a good nights sleep ready for the big day of travelling on Tuesday. The first part of the trip ...

Winter sun these days tends to rank higher and higher on a tourist's wishlist, and the option of spending Christmas Day on a beach in the Gambia almost seemed like the greatest christmas present that was never intended for unwrapping. The long-established Senegambia Beach hotel, which lent its name to the Senegambia entertainment strip leading off from the hotel, is one of the country's prime properties, and its ...

... a outros 30 km dessa ultima. Sem mais delongas, pé na estrada.15 minutos à pé e um dread sentado à sombra da arvore não aceitou que eu continuasse assim e parou um carro que por acaso era conduzido por um amigo e não estando a abarrotar, acedeu a levar-me gratuitamente. Um favor em troca de nada, nem sequer o nome me perguntou. Em Ziguinchor procurei um cyber, ainda brotei um coxe até chegar a um que funcionasse mas estava na ...

... para o lado senegalês e pegar viatura. Dessa vez os policias do lado senegalês futukaram e chamaram-me. Mas eu ja tinha carimbo do lado deles então foi coisa rapida. Conversamos 10 minutos e o policia juntou os 500 que faltavam para o carro até Ziguinchor, capital de Casamança e la fui eu. Chegado pela terceira vez ao lado gambiano o carimbo é imediato e ainda me convidam a catar uma sandes com um coxe da carne da refeição que estavam a fazer no momento. São apenas 15 km de ...

... ever since the Government of Senegal and the Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance started a low level civil war. Most of the rebel leaders were in lower Casamance and were supposedly helped by Guinea-Bissau but were chased out but Senegal forces and supposedly left mines in there wake. The few remaining rebels hanged out in upper Casamance near the Gambia border. Nowadays the region is recovering form the bad press and the tourists are coming ...

... gut organisi**t war. Massen von div**sen Gefährten, fliegenden Händl**n (bei denen man so ziemlich alles kaufen kann, was man sich vorstellen kann), Bettl**n, Ti**en, Fahr**n, Kind**n, Organisatoren, Jungs, die sich ums Gepäck kümm**n, Essensständen, Getränkebuden, den typischen Nescafé-Rollwagen... die volle Dröhnung Afrika sozusagen. Ich war ganz schön froh, Marius und Jean Simon dabei zu haben, ich musste nur hint**h** dackeln und aufpassen, nicht üb** irgendwen ...
