Story of a simple stroll around Yoff, a suburb in Dakar, Senegal on my last afternoon in the country before scheduled return to Bamako, Mali. Discovery of a local gym on the beach, followed by a proper fish market right there on the sandy beach and all wrapped up with a nice cold bottle of La Gazelle in a plastic stool.

Joal & Fadiouth, Sénégal

Twin village of Joal & Fadiouth on Senegalese Petite Côte was my last port of call before returning to Dakar and return flight to Bamako, Mali. Discovering hidden gems along with friendly and chatty locals and miles and miles of sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches.
La Petite Côte, Sénégal

First part of Sénégal’s Petite Côte story, covering visits to villages of Toubab-Dialaw and La Somone written exactly a year after I’ve arrived in La Somone and started writing it. To be followed by a part deux including city of Mbur and twin village of Joal-Fadiouth.
An apology, sort of, I guess…

Ermmm, I don’t know how to put this. An apology is needed I guess. To you my readers. See while I was travelling many things happened to me and some of those I’ve shared with you. Some stayed in my head waiting to see the light of this diary. Some I thought I would not share for various reasons. And some that were in the making, drafts so to speak, but never made it to you. Which is a shame. Especially because the only reason for the latter was I came back home and was overwhelmed with other events, people, projects and ideas. Getting back into daily routine. So, maybe, eeerm, those road stories of mine were left lurking in the darker parts of my head waiting and hoping for better times. And it looks like now, 10 months after the coming back home, might be the time for them to resurface.
