Saly Monday 22 Nov

Today we wake bitten badlly and scratch our way to the Parc Bandia to see the wildlife among the baobabs.
Our guide Jagi ? was expert at delivering our hired 4x4 within meters of some wonderful African fauna. Then we dismount to view the Baobab which is the tombe of a local griot or story teller complete with bleached skull to match. The tree is vast and has apparently existed for a 1000 years. The juice is good for mal l'estomac.

I was amazed at the range of creatures in the relatively new and small parc. The rhino(s) took us by surprise and yet were remarkably patient as we clicked and gesticulated like proper monkeys. The giraffe drinking was special and despite its vulnerability with two dislocated front legs was again patient as we lumbered by.

Un bon experience and one which brought back all kinds of memories while making its own.
