Editor,

After just returning from our 5th visit to Gambia, can I congratulate the president and the GTA on all the improvements they have made in the last few years.

It was our 1st Xmas in Gambia, and it was fantastic. The only complaint I would have is about the condition and lack of the 5 and 10 dalasi notes. Please get more into circulation as I heard some tourists saying it was a deliberate ploy to get more money off the tourists by saying they had no change.

Many thanks for another wonderful time and see you in 2009. Danny and Claire Loughborough
