"Ferry..."

Thanks Sarah for the photo....

You have heard many stories and see pictures from me about travelling in and around Freetown.  This is just another mode of transportation here.

This is the passenger ferry that goes from the airport to the Government Wharf.  Unless you want a ridiculously long drive to the airport on land, this is one way to get to and from the airport.

The ferry ride is roughly 45 minutes and when the ferry docks and the wharf, chances are it will "bump" into the dock.  It can be rather amusing watching the people on the ground motion the captain of the ferry to move in the other direction.  Inevitably though, it runs into the dock when pulling in.

Travelling around Freetown in never uneventful!
