Gorée Island Day Trip: A Breezy Escape! 🏝️✨
🚢 Getting There Tickets at Dakar Port: Passport not strictly needed—just pay the standard fare (~5,200 XOF round-trip). Smooth process! 👍 Pro tip: Weekends get busy! Only one ferry shuttling back/forth—bring a foldable stool ("xiaomazha") if you hate waiting. 🏝️ Island Vibes Tiny but charming: Pastel colonial houses, souvenir stalls (fair prices!), and decent beaches (pack a swimsuit next time—waves are gentle!). Language win: Nearly everyone speaks English! 🎉 Skip? The House of Slaves is underwhelming (small, sparse exhibits)—but the ocean views from its doorstep are poignant. ⏳ Timing Tips Ferries run 7 AM - midnight—sleep in and still have time to explore! #Senegal #Dakar #GoréeIsland #WestAfrica #WeekendVibes 🌊☀️
