  4. Close up of the kapok tree
  5. Bamboo
  6. On the way back to Banjul, don't know what this tree is but it had wonderful coloured leaves
  7. Close up of coloured leaves
  8. Very large spider in enormous web, at the crocodile pool. The web was several feet wide and covered several bushes
  9. On the way back north up the West African coast the ship was followed by lots of birds. I tried to snap them but they kept moving! This is my best shot, looks a bit like a gannet
  10. Some of the birds were very dark in colour, with sharper wings, this is the only photo I have which shows one fairly well
Interesting vegetation, and I bet the locals don't even notice it.
