Africa-Mauritania-Nouakchott Here we have many scenes from Mauritania and the top two on the right are from Nouakchott the capital . Fishing is a very big part of the life here . |
 |
| I felt I was stopping back into the French foreign legion when here. Some of the Post offices were certainly of the old style.. |
 |
Africa-Mauritania-Chinguetti This area is a World Heritage site, due to the fact it was a stop on the caravans that passed through in the 11 and 12 century's . These centres became major focal points of Islamic culture. |
 |
| Some of these Post offices were in amazing locations and I took plenty of photos. |
 |
Africa-Mauritania-Atar Sand Sand and more Sand. You are in the Sahara here and the land of Sand and Camels. |
 |
| All these stamps look like a set from a definitive series but cant be sure. |
 |
Africa-Senegal-Dakar As they say, Next stop Senegal. I had been here a few years before and visited all the sights including Ile Goree which was excellent. Dakar is considered to be the pickpocket capital of Africa. Well I did not try to find out!! Only stopped here for a day this time as was connecting onto West Africa. Senegal International airlines are now gone out of business. A very good airline. |
 |
| I found it difficult to find cards here on this trip. But got this one and posted it at the airport. This card is showing one of the markets in Dakar |
