BO SIERRA LEONE DAY 239 234km

FREETOWN TO BO     27-12-24

WWent down for brekfast at seven but was an hour early, the chef's hadn't arrived yet. Came back at eight to a delightful breakfast.

Met Charles again as he was staying in the Y and he was going to have some work done on his bike and leave tomorrow. I was in two minds of staying as it was getting late and am always one to leave early and then packed up and left. Was 10:40 am by the time I left left and was already 28*C. 

Was a good asphalt road all the way to BO, the first section was a toll road which even had lines on, motorcyclists didn't have to pay. 
Arriver at Fear Hotel at 2:30pm and got a room for $16 with a shower and toilet and a towel and a cake of black soap. 
They arranged some fish and chips for me which was welcomed .
Took a moto taxi into town to get some cash, the first two ATM's didn't work but Eco Bank did. Went to a local place and had a few beers amongst the locals and they don't quote know what to think but it is really interesting just sitting there and watching the interaction of everyone. They operate in a totally different world to mine which is not a bad thing. There was a taxi van, a six seater that had even people inside , one on the roof and one standing on the back bumper and I believe they were going a long journey. Every vehicle you see is overloaded, with people or goods or both.
