 road to the Senegalese border
in the south east by sachara
The 25 KM long road between Basse and Velingara is unpaved, dusty and bumpy. The Badiara Senegalese borderpost between those two towns in the middle of nowhere is told to be the most friendliest borderpost entering Senegal.
We arrived in Velingara in Senegal in the late afternoon without CFA, The petrol station didn't take euros and the banks were closed. So it took some time before we had CFAs , could refuel and continue our route. Leave a Comment

Banjul was founded by the British in 1816 on a strategic peninsula at the mouth of the Gambia River. It is Gambia's capital and largest city. But with only about 50,000 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest capital cities in Africa. Banjul lacks many of the attractions of larger, more cosmopolitan cities, and therefore there is little of interest for the traveler. However, it is still worth visiting the capital city to experience Gambian urban life. Most travelers only go to Banjul to take the ferry across the Gambia River on their way to the river's north bank or Senegal. Leave a Comment

 cows along the road by sachara
In thse areas I liked this type of cows with their nice horns. After some time you learn how the cows act, when you encounter them en route, especially when they cross the road or not. Leave a Comment
