Gambia 2 weeks in the sunSue, Alan and I went for a relaxing break on the West Coast of Africa - see link for review of hotel - Badala Park 21st Feb - 7th March 2009
A roadside stop for a drink in the middle of nowhere on our Jeep trip to Senegal.
Sue and Alan took some pens for schoolchildren - here one of the schoolgirls showed her appreciation
Sue and Alan check out the local "weed" - a cash crop for the locals on this island in Senegal.
Underneath a famous Gambian tree at the entrance to Lamin Lodge.
Posing at the border of Gambia and Senegal.
Monkeying about at Ali Baba's restaurant.
Beach view close to our hotel - the sand and sea was just great .
School - end of term party on the beach - 100's of teenagers gathered to celebrate - dancing to drums and generally mingling.
Guess what we saw in Monkey Park - yep monkeys - but only a few as most of them had wandered over to the nearby hotel for some food and drink - left out by tourists staying there.
Our boat trip along the mangroves - a very hot day.
Smoked fish - in Senegal - I can not describe the smell - needless to say we passed by pretty quick.
The Main strip in Senagambia.
Canoeing up the creek - fortunately for us we had two oarsmen to do all of the hard work.
The approach over the mangroves at Lamin Lodge where we had dinner I had Oyster stew - highly recommended - and picked locally.
Enjoying a meal and an occasional drink in the evening in Senagambia
