Today starts without bread. Too bad because a French baguette is a good start. Today we drive further inland. At the first toll gate we see an African Black Crested Eagle. The toll is for the high bridge over the Gambia. We arrive at the busy market of Farafenni, where the buses drop off their passengers. The area is now drier, poorer, more donkey carts, fewer boa trees and much less traffic.
Near the destination we go to a quarry, where the locals dig lime. Bee-eaters love it, not the digging, but the straight excavations. We see 3 different types of bee-eaters. We also saw a long-tailed bird of paradise, a male with the long tail feathers to which he owes his name.
