LIBERIA - MONROVIA DAY 240 274km

BO - SIERRA LEONE TO MONROVIA - LIBERIA    28-12-24

 Luckily I checked my WhatsApp when I woke up and saw that Chris was also in Bo and sent me a message. So went over to his hotel which was way nicer than mine and had a huge brekfast with him. I met him in Nadihbou, Mauritania 🇲🇷 just briefly. 

We rode together all day to Liberia 🇱🇷 and then down to Monrovia and then he went north and I went into Monrovia to the Methodist Guest House ($35) which is on the ocean and very nice and clean with a bathroom , towel, soap and toilet paper.  I am the only one here and there is no food or beer and the nuns don't work on the weekend, so basically I am screwed and have to to go forage for food and libation.

Crossing the border was quick and easy and had zero issues, I did not go to the customs as nobody told me to and they told me I was done and could go afre I was stamped in. Trying to save my CDP as I only have ten pages. We exited and at all the police checkpoints they waved us through. Chris doesn't even have insurance for any of the Ecowas countries and nobody has ever asked, the police have no idea about that or a CDP, all they ask is your name and where are you going and are very friendly and polite.

   The lovely Immigration officer welcomed us to Liberia 🇱🇷

    Another well packed load at the border waiting for a departure and terrorize oncoming traffic.

   Chris had his shirt which he was drying tied to his luggage come off and end up there, was lucky.

   Took about thirty minutes to get it out , using his Swiss Army knife  🤣

   You can get USD here, which I did and then exchanged it for Liberian Dollars at this exchange bureau.

   This is a local clothes store with a gutter so you don't get wet when it rains, unless you at either end.

   Had a salad here for dinner, my place is the building on the right, sticking up above the restaurant roof.

   Ceasar's Salad, furtherest thing from it, was lettuce and mayo and some ded chicken.
