We
are
staying
in
Kololi
and
wanted
to
go
to
the
Albert
Street
market,
in
banjul.
We
hired
a
taxi
🚖
that
we
used
the
day
before
to
go
to
Jungle
beach.
Lamin
drives
a
daihatsu
jeep,
which
is
a
4x4
that
can
manage
the
roads.
He
took
us
to
the
market
and
walked
around
with
us.
The
market
is
a
maze
I
recommend
you
go
with
someone
that
knows
their
way
around.
The
market
wasn't
as
busy
as
usual
due
to
Eid.
There
is
no
fixed
price
on
anything
in
the
market,
bartering
is
required
to
get
to
the
price
you
want
to
pay!
If
they
name
a
price
respond
with
a
maximum
of
half
that
price
and
see
how
it
goes.
Goods
for
sale
vary
from
food,
clothes,
shoes,
fish,
meat,
vegetables,
phones
and
accessories,
wooden
crafts,
cloth
and
tailoring
and
leather
goods.
We
brought
a
handbag,
which
for
2900
dalasi
you
could
probably
get
it
cheaper,
but
it
cost
£30.00
which
I
thought
was
a
bargain.
We
brought
some
fridge
magnets
and
a
pair
of
men's
leather
sandals.
We
were
given
a
free
gift
of
a
bracelet
by
the
stall
holder.
Once
you
show
interest
in
an
item,
the
seller
will
try
and
sell
it
to
you
or
something
else.
You
may
feel
under
pressure.
Depending
which
route
your
driver
takes,
it
can
be
very
scenic
and
interesting
watching
the
Gambian
population
shop
and
drive
in
the
busy
traffic.
I
highly
recommend
Lamin
Sankareh
as
a
taxi
driver
and
guide.
You
can
find
him
in
Kololi
by
the
El
Sol
restaurant.
He's
a
good
driver
and
an
excellent
source
of
information
about
Gambia
and
the
towns
you
may
drive
through.
