Yesterday we reached Kuntaur and visited the “stone circles” near the village Wassu. It got pretty touristy since 2003 they say, so we had to pay a 5 dalasi fee to enter the site.
Anyway, we’re going back now, because it will take us about 4 days to come back to the sea.
David, Carmen and Bruno left for the big adventure. Going back to the sea on the south of Gambia on a donkey cart full of surfboards. I must say I am a bit sorry I didn’t join them, but my love story with Pantagruel hasn’t finish yet. This is mainly because it is the only way to go back to Senegal, for free and keeping my passport safe with me. So in few days I’ll be a true illegal immigrant hidden in the dusty streets of Dakar. Waiting for my passage.
At the moment, we’re motoring back to Kuntaur, where Sven will leave the boat. He has a flight from Dakar in 2 days and I’m really curious if he’ll make it. But he’s got money with him, and here everything works just perfect if you have enough of it.
About the animals here, we’ve seen pretty much all the main animals you are supposed to see here. Plenty of birds, hippos, crocodiles and apes. But the insect world is the best represented. Never seen such hardcore mosquitoes and the horse-flies are though too. They don’t care if you have 99% DEET, or IR3535 or insecticide on your clothes, they just go for your blood. I think that if I didn’t get any disease so far, I’m pretty much immune to everything.
