A few snap shots from our visit to the Kachikaly Crocodile Pool in The Gambia. The locals believe that the pool has mystical powers and women who are not able to conceive come and collect the water from the pool and bathe with it. The crocodiles represent the power of fertility - you know I stayed far away from that water!! There are a bunch of kids running around The Gambia who are named after the pool - their births, no doubt attributed to the mothers' visit to the site.... read more

De volgende morgen moeten we weer op tijd weg. Ik ben als eerste wakker en spring rond acht uur onder de douche, we zetten alles weer op zijn plek in de woonkamer en rond negen nemen we afscheid en gaan opzoek naar een telefoon, we willen voor de zekerheid toch even de Gambiaanse ambassade bellen om te checken of we echt geen visum nodig hebben. Volgens de dame aan de telefoon zijn de regels veranderd en hebben we wel een visum nodig, das een tegenvaller, we nemen een taxi naar de Ambassade van de Gambia, ook hier houden ze vol dat we echt een visum nodig hebben. Gelukkig gaat het relatief vlot, we moeten er een uurtje of twee opwachten en het kost 45 euro, maar goed rond twaalven kunnen we richting garage Banjul. Als we ... read more

I've been feeling sorry for myself for the past few days since my last posting. I've been in pain, with tooth ache! I apologise to any Dentists that might read this, but how many of us like the idea of visiting a dentist? The evening after my last posting on the 17th, I started to feel some intermittent pain. As the night went on it only got worse. I didn't sleep much. In the morning I asked Mo who runs the guest house for advice. He suggested some tincture that I could buy. I also asked where I could find a dentist - but I wasn't that keen on visiting one if I could help it! I don't like visiting dentist in the UK, let alone in a poor African country. A Dutch guy, who was ... read more

Africa » Gambia » District of Banjul » Bakau December 9th 1999

Hello my fellow travelers! This is the first and only post I'll make about a trip to Gambia from December 8 to December 14, 1999 that I did together with my parents and my uncle Anders. We stayed in Bakau, which is located west of the capital of Banjul but also took a trip into nearby Serrekunda, which is the largest city in Gambia and which is well known for it's markets. Here I bought a wooden bird to add to my growing collection of animals collected abroad. Gambia is chaotic, lot's of people, much poverty and certainly a risk of theft. While we visited the market in Serrekunda the tour agencies told us we could walk around freely at the market since they had undercover guards protecting us but we shouldn't stray beyond the market ... read more
