The Corniche





The other day I took a walk along The Corniche (Core-neesh). The Corniche is the main road that runs along the coast in Dakar. It was built a couple of years ago (just dirt roads before that), and links up many different neighborhoods in the city. People are always running and exercising on it, and it’s lined with palm trees. There are some stunning ocean views from it! By the time I returned home, I was wilting from the heat. It’s near impossible to find a cool part of the day to exercise in Dakar.
