This is our first sighting of Sierra Leone-very early on the
morning of Sunday 27th Feburary. It was wonderful to
see land again after 2 weeks at sea. We could smell
the smoke and see the haze from miles away.
Here we are in our finest. It is the ship's tradition that
everyone who comes on deck to watch our arrival
into our host nation honours that nation by dressing
well. For the women, knees must be covered at all
times!
Jessica's class made Sierra Leone flags which they waved
proudly.
Our welcome party!
Dilapidated buildings of Freetown.
Shaku and Alice, our two Sierra Leone crew carry
their flag down the gangway.
The marching band that performed for our arrival. We
sang the Sierra Leone national anthem accompanied by
the band.
