The alternatives for the car were to tow it back to the Mauritanian border and hand it over to Sidi, or tow it to Banjul where it could be sold, either repaired or for spares. We decided on the latter and Tor gallantly agreed to tow us all the way. Using a rope wasn't very practical, so we had the camp site's maitainance man fabricate a towing bar, which cost us about €20. Again we didn't get away until 12.00 noon as the young revellers found it hard to get out of bed.
Tor set off first towing us, and when the rest didn't appear we decided we had to go on as we would be travelling slowly. The roads in Senegal must be the worst in Africa. They have never been repaired and are full of pot holes, some quite deep. After travelling most of the day we came upon the rest of the group travelling the other way down the same road. We had gone different ways, but were all looking for the same turning to Kaolack. We found it and rolled into Kaolack at about 8pm. We ate a meat sandwich from a road side stall, then found a hotel to crash in. We needed beer which the hotel didn't have, but the owner went to a nearby shop and bought beers which he added to our bill in the morning. 299km today and 6,685km in total.
