Saint-Louis

Posted on Sunday, 15 November 2009 by robjkentjr

Saint-Louis was one of the first European settlements in West Africa and the capital of Senegal and Mauritania at one point. Those must have been the days because now it is a colourful but sleepy town that had some great beach camping.



	This is the bridge across the lagoon at high tide. The Zebra Bar is just by that tower on the left.



	We started to see an abundance of birdlife here, with me finally getting a decent shot of flamingos.



	I spent fifteen minutes terrorizing the crab trying to get this picture.



	We saw all sorts of strange relationships in Senegal and Gambia but this one beat them all.



	The main bridge on to the island of Saint-Louis. This was only one part of the town that could have used a new coat of paint.



	It never hurts to ask.



	The beauty and color of an alleyway in Saint-Louis

It was so nice to have cool nights and comfortable days again, especially on such a beautiful beach. Our next destination is the bird watching mecca of Oiseaux du Djoudj National Park before doing the worst border crossing in all of Africa.
