Laurent and I visited "Île de Gorée," a small island just 3km away from the seaport of Dakar.
Gorée is one of 5 world heritages in Senegal. Gorée was once used as a port to export slaves, and a few buildings left from the days reminds us of the horrible history.
At the same time, Gorée today is a popular beach for Senegalese, and all the boats going to Gorée are full during the weekend. You can enjoy the beach, or stay relax at a beach side restaurant, or walk around the calm nice town with beautiful flowers.
We had a relaxing moment there, relieved of always energetic Dakar.
