Tamba to Lac Rose, Senegal

Headed east from Tambacounda towards Dakar, and at Dakar turned north to Lac Rose.

Lac Rose, or Pink Lake, is just a few miles north of Dakar. It is close to the beach and they mine salt from the bottom of the lake. It has turned pink due to some organisms that grow in the bottom. You can only see the pink under certain conditions.

Lots of action on the road from Tambacounda!
