 Pepper, co-operative
garden by sachara
Being originallly an agricultural engineer, I liked it to learn about the different tropical crops in the garden, especially about the unknown ones. The people were very willing to tell us everything about it.
These bright yellow and orange coloured peppers at the picture, I could recognize myself. Leave a Comment

 Boat at the Gambia River by sachara
We made a boattrip of half a day from here to the west to Mansa Konko. This is the place where the Trans Gambia Highway ferry is crossing the river.
It was a very relaxing trip in the open air. We didn't see hippo's or crocodiles, but many birds. And the natural surroundings were beautiful !

 Wassu, stone circles by sachara
The stones are between 1M and 2.5 M high and must weigh several tons, they told me.
Similar structures are found in the Sahara and in Guinee. In Gambia is the largest concentration, about 40 circles between Wassu and Kau-ur. Leave a Comment Address: WassuDirections: At the northern side of the River Gambia, 25 north-west of Georgetown. Directly north of Kuntaur.

 Wassu stone circles by sachara
These stone circles gave me a very mysterious feeling, like also Stonehenge in England and the stones in Carnac in France did.
The archaeologists don't know yet the origin of these Wassu stones, so it is still an archaeologic and anthropologic mystery. It is believed, it must be the remains of a very old and developed African civilisation, before the old Ghana empire.

In 1996 I could find my way rather easily, anyway along the mainroads. In 2004 I hardly recognised many parts of Serrekunda, maybe due to the direction from where we entered the town this time.
It looked like a hodgepodge of streets, alleys lined with tin-roofed buildings and streetstalls with no special grid or rythm. It looked like the town had grown with no logical plan or restrictions.
In the central parts of the town we saw many shops, streetstalls selling vegetables, tools, tyres, bread, vegetables, drinks. We saw also all kinds of workshops of welding, car repair, metal work, timber and many more.
I could hardly find any landmark except this mosque. Leave a Comment Address: Serrekunda
