The Dakar Cathedral - a blend of 3 architectural styles of the Faiths of the Book.

Our favourite town centre hang-outs, the French Cultural Centre - nice restaurant, a bit of peace and greenery and great cultural events.

The Dakar train station - looks much better than the train systems runs (hardly at all).

A concert of Christian music on traditional West African instruments inside the Dakar Cathedral.

The return of the fishermen at Yoff fishing village (hold your nose and watch where you step).
