Shameless advert for Malinding Village ebooks

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Empty-Bananas-Malinding-Book-1-ebook/dp/B007L3U7TI

Should be a link to the advert on Amazon for the first of the series (I think there's about six of them now!)

I do tend to get these things a bit wrong ....

All money from the sale of these books is placed in the bank account of GOES - Gambian Occasional Emergency Support - and helps clinics, schools and individuals in The Gambia.
We have local agents who authenticate appeals for assistance from people we don't know and, of course, we travel out there at our own expense once or twice a year to see how things are going.

The books are a mixture of travel information disguised as light romances set in the imaginary village of Malinding, set on the South bank of the River Gambia. We should warn you that if you follow the directions to the village as given in the books you will get very wet, possibly eaten by crocodiles or hippos, in addition to which your taxi driver will be very very cross and if you survive you will certainly have to buy him a nice new car.

You can learn a little about local customs, food, dress and places of interest.

Do go - it's a peaceful, gentle country with lovely people, great food, and if you go once (remember to get the best anti-mozzi tablets - you'll probably go back time and time again. We did.

Best wishes,
Happy travels,
Tom
