This week we took a leisure cruise up and down the River Sal, five hours of gentle boating to view birds and local fishermen, riverbanks and scenery. Lunch was cooked on board, chicken starter, fish main, fruit dessert and free flowing drinks all for \u00a312 a head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suitably chilled and a little sun and wind burned we returned to our local beach to catch the sunset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All aboard! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
