Last month we headed out with another family upcountry to visit the delightful Charlotte Falls. Many other crew had visited including Jess during the summer program. We didn't let a little thing like having no clue where to go stop us! No! After almost three hours of driving and many more confused locals (more than previous post) it took stopping at the local cop shop to finally get some decent directions! Andrew was told, "Three villages that way (policeman points vaugely)". No problem! |
 |
Once we arrived at the "carpark" we had a bit of a hike to get to the actual falls. Yes-this bridge was every bit as rickety as it looks, much to the kids delight! |
 |
It was worth the wait with the falls being at their peak due to the rainy season. The water thundered down and a fine mist cooled us off after our walk. We stood and ate our sandwiches and admired the scene before us. Sierra Leone is such a land of contrasts. The city is dirty and overcrowded. Travel an hour and you can be standing on a beach fit for a commercial. The land is lush and mountainous with beauty around every corner. |

This is our guide. Of course we had to pay him and we also had to pay a fee to an old lady in a blue house for the priviledge of walking past her house. TIA. |

Here we are-Andrew, Jodie and Jessica. |
