Beautiful Bureh!

It's hard to believe that just an hours drive from the chaos and pandemonium of Freetown lie so many stunning beaches. A piece of unspoilt paradise.
A few weeks ago a large group of crew members went to Bureh Beach for the day. The weather was a little tumultuous but the company was wonderful, the BBQ tasty amd the water divinely warm.

The locals often feed visitors to the beaches fresh fish which they have caught using their canoes.

 My good friend, Megan and her gorgeous daughter, Emma.

A storm threatens overhead. Very Jurassic Park!



Some of the kids spent the day digging a rather large hole.

Thanks to the galley staff, in particular Jesse Mitchell, we were well catered for with a BBQ of hamburgers and hot dogs.



There are hundreds of dogs wandering the streets and beaches of Sierra Leone. Some of them look well fed and some are skin and bone. It is very sad.  We are not allowed to pat them as rabies is a very real threat and the ship does not carry the vaccine.This little doggy found some welcome respite from the heat and rain under a chair.
