Itinerary description

Show original

We leave the Dodo restaurant, we pass by the boats, the fishermen and the fish smokers (I don't know what it's called)
We are heading towards the beach.
Where to our surprise we find it full of boats unloading the fish for a Chinese company. (asking for permission they let us in, without photos)
We continue walking along the beach and we find it full of Pelicans, vultures eating the dead fish and a herd of cows soaking their feet...
We turn around and make our way to the restaurant where the food is very good!!!
It is the case that there is a border crossing, and on the other side of the river is Senegal.
Health!!!
