Foundiougne photos 5






Views of Foundiougne from the ferry. The boat-looking thing is actually a house owned by some rich European guy. The fourth picture is of freshly fried donut holes sold on the ferry- they were tasty. The last photo is of the bus ride home from Fatick (the mainland town that the ferry connects to) to Dakar. As you can see, every single seat on that bus was filled. You'll also notice that there appears to be no aisle, and you'll be correct, except that there is... every row has a fold down chair to hold another passenger. Each chair folds up when people need to use the aisle. Essentially it's just to make the most of the space by putting more people on the bus. It was odd though not having an aisle... it felt claustrophic, and a bit scary actually when I thought about what would happen if a disaster happened.. but, thankfully, of course, nothing happened and we made it home safely.
