So, as you all know, I spent Christmas in the Gambia and I can truly say that Christmas this year was amazing, unforgettable and just generally awesome.
In the tourist area, I managed to satisfy my chinese, full English breakfast and tuna sandwich cravings and got my hands on some tea-bags (finally!!). We went for walks along the beautiful beach, went to the Serrekunda market for Boxing Day sales (felt like I was back in Kaolack market!), went to the Abuko nature reserve (which was stunning) and just generally had a good time!
But the best part of my Christmas in Gambia was actually just staying in our accomodation (we stayed in the amazing -and amazingly priced- Princess Appartments in Kololi) just talking, enjoying our Christmas decorations (we even had our very own make-shift Christmas tree) and getting to know each other: it was so nice to just relax! We spent most of our time in the kitchen (making up some lovely treats, including Christmas Dinner at 3am in the morning!) or lounge and these moments are the ones that I'll remember the most. The people I was with definitely made Christmas this year a very special one!
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
