Dakar, Senegal

Have had a great week off in Senegal. St Louis is a fantastic little old town... once the capital of French West Africa, it now feels little a sleepy place! We drank, made friends, wandered around, went to a national park and generally had a good time. Claz came up from Dakar – really nice to see her. Then we headed down to Dakar, the big capital city. Bit of a big city – and I think they take a while to get used to really. Anyway, it was nice to relax in Claz’s pad, see a bit of the city and we had a day trip to the Ile de Goree – most Westerly point of West Africa... famous for it’s role in the slave trade from these parts. We were shown round by a fantastic guide, it really is a historical place. Not nice though.
