This was must visit for us.
Several years ago on an Atlantic crossing from Portugal to Miami we missed the
Dakar, Senegal port call. Goree Island is a UNESCO Heritage site because over two
million slaves were shipped through here to the New World. It’s a charming
island with beautiful color and a warm tropical feel. We hiked pretty much the
length of it and visited the Slave House and fort. It was worth the wait to see
this lovely place.
