Off-season island tour in West Africa, Gorée Island, Senegal

Gorée Island, a World Heritage Site that you must not miss in Dakar! Arriving in Dakar, the capital of Senegal Don’t miss the world heritage site Gorée Island🌊 Very few people really travel to West Africa This strategy may require very few people... But you still have to record those moments in your own way🎬 As soon as I arrived in the capital Dakar, I felt the "development" of this city. Compared to many other cities in West Africa Senegal is really a travel ceiling! Gorée Island, a World Heritage Site that you must not miss in Dakar! As one of the earliest European colonial settlements in West Africa It was also the center of the slave trade Hence also known as Slave Island Please keep this one-day trip guide to Gorée Island! It takes half an hour to get to the island by boat from the pier. Friendly reminder, remember to avoid weekends! It's common here to queue for three or four hours. There are two slave forts on the island After disembarking from the pier, turn right and walk across the beach. Arrive at the first seaside fort It is now a history museum, although it says it closes at 16:30 pm But we went in at 17:00, and the ticket was 🎫1,500 The rotunda here used to be a place where slaves were kept There are many exhibition halls on the first floor, and the open-air fort on the second floor has a good view. Then come to another seaside fortress, House of Slaves Tickets 🎫1,500, closes at 18:00 pm, closed on Mondays This was once a transit point for the slave trade The architectural color scheme of bright yellow and lake blue is very bright Behind it is an extremely heavy history After visiting the two forts, you can stroll around the beach The photo installation next to the pier is very popular Many people are playing in the water at the nearby beach Various restaurants and coffee shops along the entire coastal trail The scenery is always there when you stop and go~ The island is not big and can be visited in half a day. Bougainvillea can be seen everywhere, rich tropical island style It was really crowded on weekends, and it took several hours to wait for the boat. Normally, I might be very irritable. But in Africa, time doesn’t seem to matter anymore Waiting for the boat at the pier from dusk to dark No one cares about the passage of time Humans are no longer animals dominated by time schedule does not exist Complaining is meaningless Happiness is anytime, anywhere You can still sing and dance in the evening breeze It seems that I have slowly learned to enjoy the moment Don’t rush the road, feel the road
