Hello,
Firstly, we would like to apologise for not blogging sooner. Internet is extremely hard to come by!
We are currently sat in a "communications centre" on Wednesday evening after a very busy 3 days!
Day 1 - We arrived at out hotel mid afternoon and were greeted by the Gambian students who held a poolside welcome meeting. We were shown out itinerary and introduced to everyone. All the Gambian students are extremely friendly and welcoming. Later that evening, Miniru took us to a local favourite eatery of his - The Sultan Sweets - the food here is very spicy. After a v.v. long day, we all crashed out.
Day 2 - This was the first day of "Tobasci" (sp.) an islamic festival akin to ede. This meant that Tuesday and Wednesday are Gambian national holidays as the country is 90% muslim. After a morning stroll along the beach, the Gambian students picked us up and took us to Sousou's house where we were invited to celebrate tobasci with all his family and friends. This was an amazing experience, we ate freshly slaughtered ram and danced with the students and all their families.

If you are looking to experience a truly unique and different holiday experience then a trip to Gambia should definitely be considered. If you have grown tired of holidaying in places without any sense of identity, such as Europe beach holidays, and are looking for a trip that gives you more for your money, then consider a Gambia holiday.
