Episode 3
I awoke to a grey sky and howling winds, just like being at home, so I rolled over and went back to sleep, the girl in the red dress had left earlier, don't tell Judy! I had a right bonus when I got up, I jokingly turned on the hot tap and to my surprise out came a trickle of hot water. I desperately needed a shave but there was no plug, so I tried to block the plug hole with pound coins, however the dribble was leaking out thru the coins faster than it came out the tap. I transferred the dribble to the shower and drizzled the dribble over the parts of my body that hadn't seen clean water since Tuesday ... bloody luxury!
Feeling clean for the first time since I arrived I went to get a taxi, well I don't know if taxis don't run on Saturdays but I ended up walking nearly all the way to Senegambia. I arrived hot, sweaty and sandblasted by the wind ... so much for feeling clean!
With a mouth like a camels armpit I popped in the African Queen for a quick drink, this doesn't really make sense because its so expensive in there but at least its friendly and I know I'm not gonna get all the 'Welcome to the Gambia' crap. Addy was just going shopping so I jumped in his van, a posh one of course, and we went to pick up a boy to carry the shopping. I assumed we were going to a cash-n-carry to load up the van, but instead we went to a supermarket and bought 2 bags full of shopping. I said to Addy that we didn't need the boy, I could have carried the bags, he replied quite disgustedly 'No, that's his job'. Had to chuckle, its good to be rich in Africa.
Now back in Senegambia internet cafe and the connection is quite fast today so hopefully some good luck on the Betfair !
