We were at the VSO Office for 8.30am as we were being taken up country to the Roots site of Juffureh. We set off for Banjul ferry terminal and had a short wait of thirty minutes amongst the crowds of hustlers trying to sell us necklaces, clothes and food, they just wouldn’t give up. We watched the ferry docking and then cars, lorries and passengers on foot jostling off all loaded up with produce of all kinds. We got onto the ferry and took the stairway upstairs where we found some seats, and watched the hustle and bustle before departing the ferry terminal. The crossing across The River Gambia was short and steady taking about forty minutes, usually during November to January you can see dolphins jumping in front of the ferries, we only saw some jellyfish. Arrived at Barra terminal and had to walk off through a very wet road to our vehicle pick up point crossing over pools by way of standing on tyres and wooden planks.
