Beaches

Man, does Sierra Leone have some beaches they are by far the most beautiful I've ever seen. Green forest, white, white sand and azure blue ocean. Just like the Sierra Leone flag. It is unbelievable. No people, just miles of beach. We drank cold beer, ate crayfish and barracuda kebabs. We chatted to local guys, we slept on the beach... we met a guy Jo, an English reporter at Tiwai and were giving him a lift back to Freetown. He is one hilarious chap. Really good night, drinking Pina coladas with local rum, sitting chatting to local guys about the war, it sounded horrible, the ten years since it ended, the fifty years of peace. Chatting about politics and the country, it's a spectacular place. I did get a whole lot of my stuff stolen at this beach, and Cbaz lost some shorts and Jo a pair of sandals. But stuff is stuff, the place is still beautiful, and its the first hassle we've had this trip. We're moving to Senegal now, via Freetown checking out the parks and forest reserves as we go.
