Back in Lamin

We are now back at Lamin Lodge trying to get ourselves organised before we sadly need to leave on Friday (our 28 day visa has run out too quickly!) In addition to provisioning for our Atlantic crossing we have to refuel (600 litres by jerry can) and fill up with water (in jerry cans by donkey cart from the standpipe in the village). Getting money to pay for it all is a challenge - it is only possible to get 2000 dalasi or about 60 pounds out of the bank at one go, so we have to keep feeding the card in to get bricks of money. The largest note is only 100 dalasi and fuel is 32 dalasi/litre!
