Preamble

We are a family of three; Andrew, Jodie and Jessica (aged 18) from Tasmania, Australia who are currently serving in Douala, Cameroon, Central Africa on the M/V Africa Mercy, the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the world, through Mercy Ships International. God has called us on a journey that has been many years in the making. For this season we call Africa home, as we seek to bring hope and healing to the poorest of the poor.

The Lap of Luxury....or not.


So this looks like a really nice pool at some fancy smanchy hotel right?? This is the Country Lodge Hotel in Freetown and unfortunately there is not too much fancy about it. We spent a day using the pool which was pleasant and relaxing enough but beneath the tranquil setting the hotel's self stared rating of five stars and overpriced rooms were evidence of it's former glory days.

There was a nice terrace overlooking Freetown where we ate our distinctly Western lunch.

Yum-burger and fries!


Just over the edge of the terrace the barbed wire runs in coils around the Hotel.
