Senegal Transportation

Taxi's are very expensive around Saint-Louis. The price goes up when they have to go over a bridge, so ask them to stop before they enter the bridge to drive into town and pass the bridge on foot. Also: it's not true that the prices go up in the evening, at least not for locals, for tourists they will always try to make an unreasonable high price. Doubling of the price when it gets dark is absolutely not true, don't let them fool you! Though you might have to pay a little extra, otherwise you won't find a taxi back home.

If you've never been to Africa, start with Senegal! People there are friendly, sincere, funny. Food is succulent and the landscape is just awsome! I love St-Louis for its colonial style (buildings), its fish specialities (food, food and more food!) and its nighlife! If u go/have been there, let me know how waw ur trip!

Mon voyage de rétho, trop fort, dépaysant, on a vraiment une autre vision de la vie une fois là-bas! On y a atteri,c'était juste pour passer la nuit, pour rejoindre Rufisk le lendemain. On a dormi dans une sorte de stade, où il y avait des cafards dans les douches! Ne pas oublier de faire les vaccins nécessaires! L'eau n'est pas potable pour nous européens! Ne vous y laissez pas prendre, même si nos amis sénégalais eux en boivent sans avoir pris de précaution---mettre une cachet spécial qui se dilue dans l'eau (déso je ne me souviens plus du nom!)

The Market at Gandiaye is where you can easily catch a "Kaar Rapide" to Kaolack or Dakar. The market is along Highway 1, but draws on residents from villages from the surrounding areas. Hear Wolof as well as Serer spoken here. Not a great place to get good deals on anything "touristy" but a great place to meet local folks. If you are fair skinned, you will be noticed.

Un hôtel très bien : le Teranga avec plage privée piscine...
visiter sali (à 1h environ de Dakar) : il y a beaucoup de construction pour les touriste (le mieux serait palm bitch )
