We woke up early expecting to make phone calls to family at La Parisiene, Paul set of with Bradley whilst me and Abi hung out some washing to dry. We set off and bumped into Paul coming back saying La Parisiene was closed.
We headed out for an early morning walk instead and decided to walk to Kotu Point, saying hello to Lamin on the way. Further along the beach one of the fishermen joined us trying to practice his English which was very good even though he hadn’t gone to school. He told us today was cleaning the nation day, we had completely forgotten that the last Saturday of every month you were expected to stay at home and clean and if you were caught out by the police you could be arrested as it is a crime. When we arrived at Kotu Point we had a good view of the next bay and the Senegambia Hotel in the distance at Kololi. I took some photos whilst our guide was stopped by a couple of police officers patrolling the beach we then turned a round and headed back.
