• Ziguinchor, Senegal

    January 19 in Senegal ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We cross over "The Gambian highway" bridge back into Senegal. Huge holes and dusty pistes make up the road. And then it happens, the Senegalese customs insist that the papers issued to us when entering Senegal should never have been issued, are invalid and that we are in "Infraction". Confiscation of our car is a real possibility. After half and hour of discussion they send us to regional customs in Ziguinchor, Casamance 150km away giving us 7 days to "declare" our car.
    I am seriously worried!
    When we arrive, customs is closed. We park next to the river and spend the evening at a restaurant watching Senegal win against Marocco in the African cup finals.
    The next morning customs has a day off because Senegal won the cup.
    GREAT!
    We drive to Cap Skiring to wait a few days.
