Sunrise in The Gambia, West Africa
We saw the most beautiful sunrises (and sunsets) – every morning for 6 weeks. At times, they set the sky on fire.

Blog Entry: 15th November 2009
The Short Walk in The Gambian Bush team take some time off and a boat ride on the tranquil Gambia River, after a day of walking (19km from Soto Koi). We have reached the village of Sambel Kunda and The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust. We have been walking for two weeks now and made 267km’s. So, its good to take the weight off our feet and enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful river.
