'Mode': TO
Category: Ship/Boat
Getting TO/AROUND: To go to Georgetown, you have 2 ways. coming from the north bank from Lamin Koto or from the south bank having 100m seprating the Island and the south bank. 1000CFA
by law, tourists have to pay boats and ferries in the country not with national currency but with CFA.
The ferries are hand hauled. be careful and dont cut yourself on the iron rope. dont help people pulling the ferry or you will cut your hands like my friend did.

traveldave Wed Jul 12, 2006 23:41 UTC Hi Joao. Thanks for checking out my homepage the other day. I'm going to Gambia (including Janjangbura) in January, so I just had to read this page. Thanks for the information.	Bodwick Mon Jun 5, 2006 15:11 UTC The wire should be pulled by using the wooden stickes that are placed on the deck. The are about a foot long and have a chunk cut out that the wire fits through. Pull the wire using this and never touch wire rope with your hands.
