Just returned from a two week break on The Smiling Coast,first visit back in 3 year`s due to Covid.
Flight only with TUI and sorted my own accomodation out as there are many bargain`s to be found.
First real shock is how few tourist`s are out there and how many girl`s seeking boyfriend`s and company was unbelievable,far more than previous visit`s,local friend`s of mine describe lot`s of them as the "New Generation" student`s having left study and find it`s easier to find Western men than a job as a maid paying 3,500 dalasi a month,most girl`s working in the bar`s and food places at night get around 2000 dalasi a month.
Most of the female staff at my accomodation made it clear most thing`s were available at anytime,hence someday`s not even having to go out and all are appreciative of any financial gift,no silly or set prices just happy to receive anything.
Nightlife up on "The Strip" still lively most night`s weekend more so,there are some stunning ladies available and you really are the hunted as opposed to the hunter,food and drink prices are now as in the UK,fortunately ladies as i said earlier are happy to take whatever comes.
Even morning beach walk`s you`re asked many times by girl`s looking to earn some dalasi,probably the best time you could go,very few job`s due to the Tourist slump,price of food and drink to a local is astronomical.
Suprisingly lot`s of the women who are in employment out looking for fun and are happy to be taken for food and drink in return for company,being 90% muslim country most only drink soft drink`s so no extortianate drink bill,in summary far better time now than it was 3 or 4 year`s ago and the standard of girl`s has risen.
Wont bore you with the daily regime but i did need to have 2 free day`s for recovery
