Lac Rose

Lake Retba or as the French call it, Lac Rose, is a lake that is pink. Thats right a lake that is pinker than pepto bismol and strawberry milkshake put together! How is it pink you might be asking yourself? Well scientist say that the lake gives that pink impression due to this bacteria called cyanobacteria, dont worry its completely safe!
I should also tell you that Lac Rose has a high salt concentration allowing the swimmers to float effortlessly, just like that of the Dead Sea. Senegal's Lake Retba seems like a place to go if you go visit if you have the chance!
