Visit to Monkey Park

Last Saturday I took a small group of children, Malang, Sally, Efo, Kuta and Maryama for a day out. As my car has been off the road, we travelled by local transport and went to Bijilo Forest Park (Monkey Park) where the children got up close and personal with two types of monkeys, saw lots of gorgeous birds, watched an artist at work and enjoyed climbing the trees in the forest.  We then went to the beach for a swim followed by a meal at a local restaurant called Milly's where you can eat for just under £1!  We then visited the Senegambia Craft Market where the children watched the artists and carvers at work. We finished off our jam-packed day with a visit to Tanji fishing village to buy fish for dinner.  A great day was had by all and it cost less than a tenner for all of us, including transportation, meal, drinks and snacks.  The Smiling Coast of The Gambia awaits!!
