Once back at Dakar we looked for somewhere to stay for the night eventually finding a decent hotel in the centre. After a quick unpack we set out again to get a short bus ride to Magic Land which is an amusement park. We had decided to take the children to a circus which we had seen advertised. We managed to get quite a good seat and waited it was due to start at 5 o’clock however finally started an hour late. The ring master came onto the stage and introduced the first act which was a man and women trapeze act. We then had a very good magician which was the ring master himself. Next was the turn of the acrobats and then the clowns came on which the children loved. There was a brief interval before the second half of the performance, most of the performers where doing a couple of acts. We all enjoyed the show even if it was in French finally it came to a close just before 8 o’clock. On our way back to the hotel we stopped at a fast food restaurant for burger and chips as we hadn’t eaten since midday.
