A few weekends sgo we decided to take the plunge and set out into the streets of Freetown in a ship's land rover. We decided to follow a "poda poda", an 18 seater van that was also coming from the ship. Maybe that was our first mistake-lol. After an hour and a half battling traffic and mayhem we arrived at River No. 2. Beach. Too bad that wasn't where we were headed. Anyway, it was a gorgous beach and we had a wonderful day out with old friends whom we did our Gateway traning with back in the States in 2006! Coming home we once again decide to follow the poda poda but this time the driver was insitient that he knew a short cut. After two and a half hours, a flat tyre and 75 kilometres later, we arrived back at the ship! |

It was National Clean Up the Streets Day as well. |

Here are Peter and Andrew in our rented beach hut eating lunch. Andrew and I both had prawns and rice and Jess had chicken and fries. We didn't have to get up as everything was brought to us. |

Postcard perfect! |

The name of this boat pretty much sums up everyday life for most people in Sierra Leone. |
