Amazing Race Entry 4

Hey it's Redmango! Our next stop is at the Dakar Plateau. It's in Senegal. Dakar is the capital of Senegal. Mali, Mauritania, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. The bodies of water that border Senegal are: West Coast is the Atlantic Ocean, south east coast is the Mediterranean Sea. These are the coordinates for Dakar, Senegal Latitude: 14° 40' 15 N, Longitude: 17° 26' 17 W. Dakar has a tropical climate. It gets very hot and humid but is usually cooled with a nice breeze. The Dakar Plateau forms the central district of the city of Dakar. The Cape Verde Peninsula was settled, no later than the 15th century, by an ethnic group. In 1536 they started using the using the export of slaves. The location is important because it is they have good fishing since they are right next to the Atlantic ocean. We are going to be traveling by plane. For a 1 bedroom hotel room with a plane ticket and rental car it is going to cost me about 1,815 dollars. No we didn't have any problems with our traveling. The distance between Kunming, China and Dakar, Senegal is 7564.65. I think the biggest difference between the last location I went top and this one is probably the ocean view. From Kunming I couldn't see any part of the ocean and in Dakar I'm right on the ocean.
