Get around
See
The '''Atoll Island''' can be visited by getting on a boat at the fish market behind the Novotel Hotel.
The '''Soumba waterfalls''' is a 2 hour drive out of the city a short distance past Dubreka. There is also a restaurant to enjoy a nice meal with the roar of the water in the background. Have a swim to work up an appetite.

Eat
'''Jardin de Chine''' is a very safe bet with good food and quaint atmosphere.
'''Mouna Internet Cafe''' has very nice croissants for "on the run" snack.
The Lebanese restaurant '''Le Cedre''' is a bit hard to find (near Mouna Internet) but has nice food.
Drink
The nightlife starts quite late - just past midnight.
'''Timi's''' is a good venue (small, but alive).
'''Le Loft''' is a bit quieter and can be visited earlier in the night for a good vibe.
Sleep
'''Novotel Hotel''' is a typical 7 floor hotel with swimming pool, dining room, bar, etc. and has good rooms, there is a gym, but not great at all.
