3.11.13 Sunday To Banju



l
Up early and a taxi to the airport.  We are flying with Gambia Bird so more legroom, and cheaper than our usual route.  We quickly identified the check in desk by the number of Gambians waiting to check in.  A man was busy coming up and down the queue trying to get someone to take a suitcase for him to Gambia.  We declined of course.  The flight was uneventful, lunch was paella – so twice in 2 days.  We were met at the airport by Musa with our old truck, most of the repairs have been done, but still waiting for a part to mend the 4 wheel drive.
Back home to be met by Kebba with a big grin on his face as usual.  The rainy season has caused lots of damage this year it has been particularly humid so there is mould on all the walls surrounding the property, and there was mould inside the house, but Kebba has brushed it down and repainted the affected rooms so all looks good.  Outside however needs a coat of paint and so Bas will be coming to paint it all.  Kebba has suggested that we paint with oil paint (gloss) on the side of the house that gets the most rain to try and stop the mould growing.  We unpacked and then had a small meal before Ousman called round to welcome us back to the Gambia.  Early night.
