DAY 4, LEG 14 - Bamako to Banjul
The beginning of day 4 had yet another change of plan and I decided to stop in The Gambia en route to Dakar. The Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa and a popular tourist resort in the winter. Its borders run roughly ten miles north and south of the Gambia river.
Taxi past a Mali Air Express Saab 340 that parked overnight next to me at Bamako. This aircraft is bound for Kayes in the north-west of Mali which is my first waypoint before turning westbound over the border into Senegal.
First glimpse of the River Gambia heading into The Gambia.
Descending early for a fly-by of the river. Banjul airport is located on the headland in the distance.
Not many tourists here today!
