Day 66: Wild camp in front of Janjan Bureh – Janjan Bureh

In addition to people and vehicles, there are also many crickets and birds tonight. It's nice that at some point it gets a little cooler and we even need a blanket! A muesli for breakfast, no bread, and off we go. We have to top up our SIM cards in Janjan Bureh (formerly Georgetown). Done quickly.

By the way, there is a well-known music festival here.

We test the access to a campsite (shower would be nice) and turn back. For the alternative we first have to cross the river. So we buy a ferry ticket. They don’t take Gambian dalasi – foreign plate, foreign currency. Probably a strategy to get foreign currency, as the Gambian currency is not very stable.

Brigitte has to argue back and forth a bit and then pays in Senegalese currency. Euros are too good for us, we may need them later.

Four cars fit on the ferry, and getting up is just five centimeters between the trailer hitch and the ground. Ian and Catherine are now here too and still fit in. Assian and Renata's campsite is quiet, shady, right on the Gambia River, toilet and shower via buckets with water from the river. Well then. We will stay one night and while away the afternoon here or write in a diary, test whether we can cure the hectic indicator and the like.

Somehow we often imagine something different from the descriptions in the travel guide than what we find :-)) There is hardly any infrastructure, so maybe there aren't enough tourists who get lost here to make it worth?
