...or more specifically, The Gambia: The Smiling Coast of West Africa.
Initially I thought it would simply be a sun-drenched week lying on the beach, but there was so much to see...
Cape Point Beach:
Sunshine's Beach Bar - where we were visited by a beautiful blue bird
Not quite what you expect when you're told your next door neighbours are wild...3 crocodiles lived in a lagoon adjacent to our hotel
Banjul Ferry Port in South Gambia:
While waiting for a ferry to cross the River Gambia, a cobbler took great delight in a crack in the sole of some of my very old, but very loved, lace-up plimsols. He fixed it beautifully for 100 delasi (about 2 pounds)
Senegal:
While visiting Senegal, our ranger tracked down a 2 month old male giraffe as we weaved down dirt tracks in the 2000 hectares of Fathala...
...and also took our 4x4 within 3 metres of a 3 tonne white rhino - he was absolutely beautiful
Bakau:
A goat - roaming the streets of our local town Bakau - enterprisingly used a Mercedes as a leg up to lunch
Bakau fishing port
