Gambia Day Eight - in which we grudgingly left and came back to freezing cold England...

The day had come to leave, and we were due at the airport at 2pm, so we spent the morning packing, having a last look around the market and the beach and sitting by the pool. I bought an African mask from the hotel shop and a couple of necklaces from the market. Then our land rover driver, Nikki, took us to the airport and we checked in. Due to the lack of X-Ray equipment for our luggage they had to go through it by hand - and my guy went though my underwear and everything! Embarrassment! Then in the departure lounge we could go outside, and we actually saw the second group get off their plane and we shouted to and waved to them as they entered the airport.
The plane journey went smoothly again, the film was 'Runaway Jury', but the real entertainment was Deborah dancing to the airline radio!
We touched downabout 11:15pm, and I've never come off of a plane feeling so cold!
