On the river Senegal near Kayes

With the dust washed off the car, we drove about 15km downriver from Kayes to the Chutes du Félou, a broad set of waterfalls, and found a good place to park for the night near a small hydro station. The rocks are worn smooth from the high water and at sunset bats emerged from crevices and hoovered up any insects - so far I have seen hardly a mosquito on this trip. 

We had a visit from the local kids for half an hour, and after that it was very peaceful. We washed off our own dust in the river, then Jason teased the fish with a variety of lures for a while without success. A fisherman took pity and came with a cup of sand and worms, but the fish didn't go for that either. The locals fish with nets from pirogues.
