Flight and arrival

Plane Ride8 hours of Uno, severe lack of kung fu panda which was promised, bad times! We also enjoyed one or two free wines on the wayArrived at airportLike a cattle market, very intimidating, luckily Mark and Loz appeared from nowhere and saved us from certain crying! They also had our guide with them called Fatter. Drove to ferry was amazing to see all the people on the side of the road with shops open. The ferry was there when we arrived so we got on and went straight into first class at the amazingly scandalous price of a pound a person!! We waited 3 hours for the ferry to leave so it was dark by that stage. We arrived at the other port and waited for car to come off the ferry, we were surrounded be beggars and watched a fight take place on the boat!First view of Freetown!Well a Friday night in Freetown is a sight to behold. Every single person who lives in Freetown must have been out on the streets. There was loads of shops lining the streets and loads of people gathered around candles.YMCAAfter driving through the madness we arrived at the YMCA. The room was covered in cockroaches and flies which were soon taken care of with the spray but it was much nicer than the shanty houses across the road. We enjoyed a beer on the balcony on the other side of the building and enjoyed the fabulous view of Freetown.We then had a bit of fun putting the mosquito nets up but had a cracking night’s sleep!
