I have a question totally unrelated. Is there a ferry available from St. Louis, Senegal to Banjul or anything from Banjul to Ziguinchor or the Casamance? Thank you very much. Hello,

I have crossed with it several times and each time I loved every minute of it. Last friday my trip by plane to The Gambia was cancelled, next friday we try again (fingers crossed).

It sounds like you're a true veteran of the ferry! The person next to me had their flip-flops washed, though to be honest it was more foot than flip-flop. You're project sounds very interesting and we wish you good luck with it all. Hi Jane – thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. It sounds like you’re a true veteran of the ferry!

I am usually lucky enough to be travelling with a dignatory with a badge which enables jumping the queue and gaining several hours if travelling by car. I have still been shunted backwads and forwards once passed the first gates though and often waited 2 hours or more to actaully board the ferry but so much better thatn the 8 hours of some waiting in the vehicle queue. no wonder there are such frayed tempers! Once on I always climb up the steps and just watch. They have cut down on peddlars on the ferry now. A couple of years ago I filmed over 15 people selling their wares or services. I too had a brand new pair of flipflop sandals 'repaired' for the princely sum of 20 d. They were strongly stitched to the sole and indeed the tops have now worn away but they remain firmly attached to the sole! Always take advantage of their services. They are good and well worth it! I am going to enjoy going through your blogs. I'm sure I will get back to you! I have crossed on this ferry many times now and it always excites me and abhors me.
