Sierra Leone, November 2024

Tony has just arrived in Freetown, capital of Sierra Leone, West Africa. He’s riding in the back of a Keke (Tuk-Tuk local taxi-like vehicle. It is early-mid morning on Thursday, 21st November. Tony’s leaving Kissai Port and being driven through lively Freetown to the neighbourhood of Aberdeen in the west part of the city. As you can see and heare, the ride is bumpy, colourful Kekes and motorbike taxis are honking their horns non-stop and many drivers and padestrians are talking and shoutting constantly in the local Crio language, spoken throughout Sierra Leone. It’s a lively, energetic experience with lots of smells, food to pee, exhaust fuims to petrol and more. The sun is beating down and it’s very humid, even at 10 in the morning. A fantastic introduction to Sierra Leone and Freetown life and culture!
