Karabanne Island

A little treasure south of Senegal, an island flanked by the river Casamance and whose nearest city is Elinkine. Around 200-300 people live on the island and although there isn't too much to see (Breton church in ruins, a half sunk pier, former slave prison and the old colonial cemetery) the real magnet for the soul is the atmosphere, friendly treatment and sunsets on a nearly deserted beach. When the tide is low, the sea reveals ancient shipwrecks. Children can have fun without even realising while you stand still and the hours pass peacefully. There was a lot of suffering here, due to the slave trade....Thus, in just a few lines, I have disclosed my treasured memories of this place ..
