Ann was better today and despite the cold wind we decided to
visit the museum at Tanji, we wrapped up warm!!
Something I never thought we would have to do here! and set off for the
museum, which is about 5 miles from our house.
We called at Batakonko clinic on the way to see the improvements which
have been made since Ann’s last visit, and then arrived at the museum mid
morning. The exhibits here are of the
Flora and Fauna of Gambia and then exhibition rooms devoted to local crafts, musical
instruments and customs. There is a man demonstrating weaving and opportunity to buy locally made items. A Mandinka
village has been recreated within the grounds, complete with a blacksmith and
traditional artefacts. We spent a couple
of hours here and then left to go to the tourist area for lunch, where we opted
to sit inside at Paradiso out of the biting wind! We returned home for a relaxing afternoon before Steve cooked dinner
for us whilst I caught up with the Blog.
Another film from our vast library this evening and then so to bed.
