Banjoul, Gambia Mar 13, 2008
From Dakar we went to Benin to pick up the VIP to Dakar, once we drop the VIP in Dakar we've been informed that there is no room for our 2 days stay/nightstop and later decided to fly to Gambia.
Very short flight, around 20 minutes. After secured the aircraft we leave for the hotel.
It was Sheraton Gambia, facing the Atlantic ocean.
Here is some of the pictures of the room and around the hotel.

Dakar, Senegal Mar 11, 2008
There is an Islamic Summit in Dakar, Senegal & we brought one of the VIP to the meeting. As we leave the aircraft the handling agent told us that we going to the ship for our nightstop. At first i thought he's joking. The bus ride took about half an hour and as we realise later on
that we are on the way to the port, so this guys probably not joking then but still in my mind probably the hotel is near the port.
As the crew bus stop at the port next to a cruise ship, then i realised it is not a joke. We really going to stay in the ship. Later on we found out that there is not enough hotel in Dakar to accomodate all the guest to the summit so the organiser charter a cruise ship for extra accomodation for the guest especially the delegation and crew. The name of the ship is Musica.

So here is some of the pic from the ship, the room is nice even it's pretty small, but very clean and tidy. There is LAN for the internet, no wireless detected.
Too bad that we only stay for 1 night and it was early morning departure for us the next day but staying overnight is a ship is a very unique as far as my trip is concern so far.. Enjoy..
This is the lobby of the ship.
