Wassu Steinkreise - Stone Circles

We were now at the easternmost point of our journey and now want to drive back along the north bank of the river. However, after waiting at the ferry, the car does not start. Helpful people are there immediately and push the car. I try to explain to Seedy what to do with the accelerator and clutch and the car starts on the third try - we're the perfect team. 🫂🥰
We cross over and drive to the stone circles in Wassu, where a young man explains the meaning to us. Within the stone circles are tombs, and the more powerful the stelae, the more important the person. Today it is a kind of place of worship, many people come there to pray and also stay overnight.
Then he tells us the interesting story of the wise Stoneman and Seedy plays the song by Bintang Bolong on the balafon.
We continue along the Nordbank Road and in Farafeni we cross the Senegambia Bridge. We make a short stop in Kanikunda and Mariama has cooked rice and a spicy paste made from leaves. It tastes great and we enjoy it very much. Unfortunately, this will be our last visit to her, but I'll be back - I promise!Read more
