Wassadougou – Janjanbureh

Finally, after 14 days we have reached the tongue of Senegal – that’s how the Senegalese call The Gambia. The people are very friendly and they all speak English! We visited Stonehenge like stone circles (the guide there is convinced they are the origin of human civilization,  if not of the whole universe), crossed the Gambia river twice, and now camp in the yard of the elementary school of Janjanbureh. Surrounded by around 100 children who don’t ask for gifts but want to talk to you. At 11pm. Next door there is a party with sex, drugs and afropop (no rock’n roll unfortunately).

Finally we can buy fresh fruit again
