I think it's time for me to make a thread on my month holiday in Senegal and Ghana.
Structure:
- Senegal (pics)
- Senegal (videos)
- Ghana (pics)
- Ghana (video)
- How much and how I saved for this trip
- How it was travelling to a country I had never visited (GH)
Knowing how lazy I can be, it'll take a while before I complete all sections...but here we go. (And if anyone interacts with these tweets, feel free to ask me anything about this trip)
I flew from Milan to Dakar on Dec 13 and landed at midnight on Dec 14 at the Blaise Diagne airport. And because I am who I am, I watched "Black Panther" on the plane smh
I had been to Dakar in 2016, but didn't really get to see the city. It was Ramadan and hot and I couldn't be bothered. But this time I made the best of it.
My grandparents live minutes away from the Atlantic ocean. On my 1st day, I told my cousins to take me there
On the 2nd day, I went to the Museum of Black Civilisations. That also is like 20-ish minutes away on foot from where my family lives. This museum is everything.
The museum is opposite the National Theatre and if I remember correctly Waly Seck performed there the night before.
Anytime I am in Dakar, I go to Goree Island.
This time I didn't visit the House of Slaves but to know what happened on this beautiful island is so heartbreaking. So much beauty and pain in one place.
The biggest mosque in West Africa. Massalikoul Djinane.
This time I went to Lake Retba during the dry season. The best period to see what algae, sun and wind do.
Again, this museum is everything
