SENEGAL: From SAINT-LOUIS to DAKAR. Stuck again + 6 top things to do in Dakar // EPS 4.

After crossing into Senegal we visited the vibrant fishing town Saint-Louis and famous Zebra Bar, which is a campsite most overland travelers visit when traveling west africa. On the way to Dakar we realized, that the clutch of my travel partner we repaired in Mauretania was still broken - so we prepared for a long stay in Senegals capital Dakar to send clutch discs from Europe.
Meanwhile we went on a burocratic journey through town to stamp our carnet de passage (customs document), apply for visas and explore the highlights of Dakar.
Join me for a tour through the city with my top things to do:
1. Visit the "village des arts" and buy some art
2. Eat at famous restaurant Lagon Nr. 1
3. Go surf at Dakar's beaches
4. Shop traditional waxed cotton fabric at Marché HLM and get some clothes made
5. Visit Gorée Island ( Île de Gorée ) and learn about it's history in the transatlantic slave trade
6. Shop at local food markets like Marché Kermel
