We had a quick ride to Fort Bullen which was a British Fort built in the nineteenth century and used to help eradicate slavery in West Africa. Long after Britain stopped the slave trade the French and Portuguese still carried on their trading of slaves, also Fort Bullen was used during world war 11 when Senegal sided with France. A very run down building unfortunately we were unable to gain access to the inside of the Fort, so we just walked around the outside taking pictures. We had a very short walk on the nearby beach as we suddenly saw some cow horns, then skulls and some blood which had been picked over by the vultures looked like an abattoir. Sat under a baobab tree and had a snack whilst watching goats and pigs snuffling for food.
