The Gambia - 7/1/13

An early morning walk south of George Town in good habitat before breakfast. Bansang Quarry was the agenda for the day. Our vehicle also needed bump starting as usual and delayed our return by a bit, but was no problem. Another quiet afternoon at the annexe before an evening walk north of George Town towards Janjanbureh.
