Yesterday was Xams and I changed my oil on the bike,did some laundry and then helped clean up at the front entrance of this place. You would never know it was Xmas here, almost like a normal day, there's a guy replacing the A/C and some guys painting.
Departed at 5:45 in the dark to beat the traffic and it was nice and cool. Once you have left the city, about 35kms outside the road was good all the way, even with lines on it,Chinese have done a great job. I took the 15 minute shorter route which took four hours longer because I had to wait hours for the ferry, not like Norway. Did not see any trucks or cattle on the road, no goats around and the vegetation is tropical with lots of Palm trees and Banana trees and other fruit trees and tall grass and way cleaner than Guinea. They don't just drop evrything when they are finished with it like Guinea. Still not perfectly clean but no heaps of trash and no plastic bottles everywhere.
Into Sierra Leone
I can show everyone him.
This is breakfast and a cup of coffee
The people here were fascinated about the bike and Camel jaw and asked hundreds of questions and can't figure out why someone would travel down Africa. People here live day to day, there's no holidays or retirement or leisure time, so it's understandable.
Got to the YMCA at about 4pm ($23) and since I had'nt eaten all day I walked into town but could not find any restaurant's but found the main shopping area which was jamming.
So had some Pringles and beer for supper and then fell asleep with my clothes on unexpectedly.
