Gambian men cannot believe their eyes 🇬🇲 |S7E32|

In this episode I am crossing the Saloum Delta in Senegal, on my way to The Gambia. Another border crossing yes! The border crossing is fine - but the chaos truly begins when I board the ferry to cross the river Gambia! There are many, many, police and army checkpoints in The Gambia and they all ask me tonnes of questions. They don't get to see women on motorcycles here often..

    It's possible that the phrase of *"You're the lady I love,"* could, logically, be interpreted as *"You're a woman whose style I admire!"* Not EVERY spoken word needs to be taken at face value, you know!

    I went on a trip to The Gambia some years back, staying in Serekunda (Not sure of the spelling) and had a few tours around Banjul, including the arch that apparently was unstable due to being built on sandy soil with dodgy foundations. The people were lovely and made us feel welcomed (I was a chaparone with my brother's geeography class who were on a field trip) and we even spent a couple of hours with the Minister of the interior and trade. Some of it was harsh, witnessing young girls and women rendering palm oil in 120 degrees celsius. But it was a wonderful trip and I would love to go back some day. Lovely video that's bringing back very happy memories.
