6.1.14 Monday. Back home



We rose early as the animals, birds and the sun wake you here.  We had breakfast and then got our luggage to load the truck.  Our guide from yesterday was waiting for a lift down to the Kombos, the bush telegraph must have been working as we didn't remember mentioning that we had transport, or that we were leaving today.  He was going to attend a meeting at Abuko, which is the headquarters for the wildlife department here in the Gambia.  The road is completed all the way now and we had a very smooth and pleasant trip back, only stopping once to buy firewood for Mr Sallah for Nemasu, as it is cheaper here than in the urban area.  We dropped our passenger in Brikama, and got home around 1.30pm, so we had time to relax around the pool before going round to our neighbours (Sue and Graham) for a barbecue and a pleasant evening with them.
