The Last 24 Hours in The Gambia

The view from our room




We made it to The Gambia in about eleven hours and it should only take about four. With traffic, a few bad turns, rough roads, and a confusing border, it took longer. We finally made it and were pleased to speak in English again. The Gambia is a beautiful country with very friendly people. Okay, let's keep it real, we are staying at the Sheraton, and it's rad! Modern African sheek rooms, an infinity pool, an awesome gym, all nestled in a Baobab grove.

What we did today:

1. Slept in to about 8 AM
2. Went to the buffet and had an omelet. Buffet in French means to eat, but in a bad way.
3. Worked out
4. Went to the pool
5. Swam in the ocean
6. Played scrabble with gab while drinking a gin 'n tonic
7. Had a sixty minute massage, outside
8. Swam in the ocean again and played more scrabble
9. Took a shower then a bath
10. Read my book
11. Took a nap
12. Had dinner, it was Senegalese night, go figure
13. Watched traditional Gambian Dancers
14. Danced with the Gambian dancers
15. Blog entry

Thanks to Dave and Carol who suggested going to the Sheraton. Spoil yourself they said or something like that.
