Travel to Podor
More long distance transport to travel down to lovely Podor - on the Senegal river. 
The historic river boat Bou El Mogdad is moored here in anticipation of resuming a historic service plying the river. Men are playing Petanque outside the auberge and as I walk the streets, it takes me a while to realise the absence of cars & motorbikes here. Only the sounds of birds and people chatting. Friendly locals - no chanting of tuobob here!. Return from a lovely dinner to find the auberge closed – I had wondered what time they closed up. After a few “mon frere, mon frere”calls to the upstairs rooms I gain admittance. A fine print notice in my room announces wi-fi - unbelieveable!
