From Saint Louis, we splurged and hired a taxi to take us to Kaffrine, the site of Kaitlyn’s regional PC house. We only broke down once, which was great. Passed many baobab trees. We left most of our gear at the house, which was wise, picked up a few veg from the market and then took a bus the couple hours it takes to go 30km or so (passing through many villages). It was very colorful, full of locals and actually made the ‘sept place’ ride seem pretty civilized. It was pretty hot inside, so most windows were open, very dusty and the gent next to me had live chickens and roosters which spent most of the time around my feet trying not to expire in the heat! It was an experience not to be missed and we arrived at Kaitlyn’s village in one of the first rains of the rainy season!
