Dakar, Senegal
After docking in Dakar we took a tour to ile de Goree, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This island was a slave depot in west Africa. Here slaves were kept until they were sold and then shipped off to Europe or the New World. A 30 minute ferry ride took us to an island which was about 2 miles off shore. Once on shore we had a short tour of the island and then free time to explore on our own.
