So, our shortest stop on this trip (2 nights), and probably the country where we spend the least money ever (86€): Gambia. Very small in itself, curled around the river Gambia, with 1,5 million inhabitants. English speaking and quite touristy.
We decided to try our luck with Couchsurfing and winded up in Sukuta, in the outskirts of Banjul, the capital, with not one guy, but a whole crew, the Kingdom crew as they call themselves. Lots of reggae, some smoke blowing in our direction, clubbing, a day at the beach and an improvised birthday party, yeah man, it's all good!
Our time together brought back memories of our Zim crew, and inadvertently, some of our Zim expressions kept coming out, though we can also feel we've evolved since then. But it was very nice to be so involved with local people, 24/24, sharing their daily lives, sleeping at their house, hanging out, playing games, chatting. Even doing some of the more touristy stuff like visiting a monkey park and going to the beach was a lot easier and had a very different vibe because we were hanging out with locals. Thanks Ous, Dave and Daddy!
