Down to Gambia
Customs, immigration and harbour authorities took about 5 hours to clear and not too much bother.
Next came the trip of a lifetime which took us 200nm up the river and into the wild.
The people here are really very nice and always on hand to help, also they generally speak english although this gets less further up river. There are a lot of French speaking Senegalese fishermen up river too.
Its been a proper safari with Hippos, Crocodiles, Chimps, monkeys, to name a few and an astonishing number of beautiful birds. The flora has also been very interesting, starting with low mangroves then changing to palms and mahogany trees as the river changed from saltwater to fresh.
We have just returned to the Banjul area (Denton Bridge) to re stock ready for the next leg West.
I will write more details of the river journey in time.....
