In the streets

   For seven months, there isn’t a drop of rain. Artisans therefore set up shop on the street itself.   

   It’s in Serrekunda where they are the most numerous and it’s always surprising to see the spread of seats and sofas. All trades can be found, be they ironmongers, mechanics, or, for the most part, bric à bracs.

   The other day, I went into Banjul with James, and seeing as his daughter Isatou, 4 ½ years old, had yet to go back to school, we went by to see his two children.

   When we go to Albert market, we can climb on the archway that serves as the entry. We can access it freely and there is no need for a guide. All you have to do is climb the staircase and you will arrive on this bridge with its “aerial” view over the market (bottom-right)

   When we drive around by car, we always come across donkey-pulled carts… more often than not going the wrong way. This seems to be a game here because many cyclists do the same. One day there was even a car who went a good 200m! It’s surprising and for a moment, we’re confused as to whether it is us who have taken the wrong road!!
