Day 59/60: Corniche Ouest & Downtown

Having traveled to Europe, South America, and Asia, we have never struggled more with jet lag and time zone differences than Senegal. Both days we made the mistake of waking up at 9am for breakfast and hoping into bed for a quick nap that somehow turns into 1pm!

In the late afternoons, the weather has been awesome to explore the Corniche Ouest, which is a coastal highway made up of monuments, fish markets, beaches, mosques, and scenic views. We saw the African Resistance Monument, Mosque of the Divinity, and beautiful waves on the Corniche Ouest.

Since Dakar is 95% Muslim, we headed to the Marche Sandaga where we successfully haggled for a head scarf and one more long sleeve shirt. Kieran is way better at walking away than I am.

Our little hotel also has a pool so we enjoyed our evening drinking wine and enjoying the weather.
