Day 7 down time

No trip to Gorée Island today. I seem to have developed a dreaded case of "traveler's trots". You know, queasy stomach, the runs and weakness. But I don't have a fever or anything. So it was a day of rest with just a few walks around the neighbourhood to see what the area was like and then back to my room to rest. CNN International was my friend, though its continuous coverage of the Mumbai bombings got old after a while. (This will probably be the only trip I have ever taken where I am going to lose weight instead of gain it.)

Dakar seems to be a pretty typical Third World capital. Lots of hustle and bustle and apparent chaos but not much physical beauty. Still I posted a few photos here.
