    • This was my first trip to West Africa. We loved the country but were a little annoyed by the permanent hassle of the young local people, called Bumster, who will not let you walk alone on the beach or in the city. They will always offer their services, e.g. shopping or tour guidance.

     Interesting pictures. I wonder what sorts of things one does on vacations to Gambia.    		AndreSTGT Sun Jul 20, 2003 15:36 UTC

     what a great adventure and a great welcome like on the 1st pic... Lots of excellent pics !    		phil_uk_net Sun Mar 30, 2003 18:25 UTC
     I have to admit that I'm old enough to remember the TV adaptation of Roots! I think that being hassled is part and parcel of visiting developing countries. Everyone needs to make a few bucks to survive.
