Palmarin is a quiet spot in the Sine-Saloum Delta of Senegal.
We stayed in a straw hut at Yokam, a simple little place by the beach:
We came across a huge turtle on the shore one afternoon!
It was frightening to go up so close to it, but nothing will get in the way of me & a good photo! It was as still & lifeless as, well, a turtle... but after some minutes we came to doubt its state of being, and after some brave close inspection, saw that it wasn't alive after all. Poor turtle, RIP:
Palmarin is made up of four small villages. It could teach the rest of Africa something about waste disposal - the cleanest place I've come across around this part of the world.
Here we are getting directions on a stroll around town:
It was a relaxing stay, surrounded by a 180,000 hectare zone of endless salt plains & mangrove creeks:
I enjoyed your
