Weather : The weather was really good. Hot,hot,hot but with virtually no humidity.

Every day was really hot, the evenings do get a bit cool, but a light jumper or cardigan is enough, make sure you take plenty of suncream you will need it, or better still ask the locals for there own local sunscreen. It's very good.

Holiday : I have been twice so far, Feb 09 and April 09. I am going back again 4th November 09 - which is really quite a lot, but i have fallen in love with the people and the country.

There are so many things to do and see, the people are so friendly, they make you feel very welcome. Yes the bumsters can be a bit of a nuisance, but if you tell them, thanks but no thanks they will leave you alone. Most of the beaches are fabulous, and so many to choose from. Go anfd see for yourselves !!!.

Places Recommended : Tanje (walk down the beach past the fishing port) and just miles of golden sand.

Sanyang, it is absolutly gorgeous.

Monkey sanctury, Crocodile park.

Banjul, its so vibrant, you can buy anything, and everything.

Fort Blethin, The history really comes to life. Infact just go for it !!!!

Recommend Banjul to others : Yes

Janice Jordan went to Banjul on
Wednesday 4th February 2009 for 14 days

Weather : The weather in Banjul was absolutely beautiful every single day, all you need is thin cotton clothes, but in the evening I felt a bit chilly and there was a breeze, so I just put my shawl round my shoulders and I was fine. Hubby just had a short sleeve shirt on and was fine (macho).

Holiday : We stayed at the Ocean Bay Hotel, and had the best holiday we had ever had. The Hotel is beautiful, and all the staff are really friendly, we stayed in the hotel for all our meals because being the first time in the Gambia we weren't sure what eating out would be like. There is a market nearby and its very interesting, you will be mithered by the bumsters, but we had a laugh with them theres no harm in them. We visited the crocodile park, where we stroked an old croc named Charlie that was an experience. If you go take some excercise books and pencils and visit the local school its an eye opener, and they really appreciate your gift, and the kids are so cute. We had a sail on the river through the mangroves and visited the fish market but I found that too smelly. Once you've been to the Gambia your hooked, it definitely has a place in our hearts and we still email a couple of the locals. Try it and see for yourself (Fantastic) We're going again.

Places Recommended : Everywhere!
