At the very end of the winterseason 2009 we went for the 7th time to the Gambia, though we before only visited a country once or twice. I was a little bit afraid I would get bored this time, but again The Gambia surpised us in a very positive way; Gunjur Beach Lodge opens her fences again and lookes even much better.
A couple of years ago we went for a first look at Gunjur Beach Lodge and booked for a stay for the next time. But 1 week before our arrival it was cancelled because it was closed .
When we arrived this time at John Raymonds Beach Bar in Kotu, our Gambian sun Omar told us he met 2 ladies who just re-opened Gunjur Beach Lodge. Right next day we met Maud and her daughter Mickey who run the place now. So we immediately booked for a stay together with Omar.
The change they made was overwhelming. Before you could only hear the Atantic, now you can also sea it in all her wideness, especially from the restaurant. Besides in that area you can enjoy the Art of Cooking from Chief-Cooke Bakkari, who really spoiled us. On top of that you enjoy it on evry moment you prefer it.
For entertainment you can have your sun-bath (also in the shade) at the beach-side and good Djembeh from a man from Kotu-point. Even Television for Champios-league is about to arrive.
So all-ready now we are looking forward for our next Visit to the smashing Gunjur Beach Lodge.
