I have been going in and out of Freetown, Sierra Leone for the past four years. It is a poor country that is recovering from a brutal civil war. It is also a beautiful country with the best beaches in West Africa. Getting there on direct flights from London and Brussels is not much problem. Once you land you have to cross the river to Freetown on either the ferry (recommended) or the helicopter (say your prayers). There aren't any good hotels in Freetown but a few that are manageable. Let me know if you are interested and I can give some recommendations. Security is not really a problem. Safer than jo'berg or Cape Town. Normal African travel precautions apply.

As to the girls, what can I say, fantastic. African women are wonderful. Great bodies, smooth chocolate skin and a cultrual respect for the natural order of relationships between men and women. African women know how to take care of their man.

Young girls are all over Freetown. From the street walkers to the pros, party girls to the girlfiends. Take your pick. It is easy to find girls in the nightclubs. The most well known is Paddy's which is a large open air dive that jams from midnitght to dawn. If you can't get laid in Paddy's then you would have to be a moron.

Did I mention the beaches. Beautiful and uncrowded. Cold Star beer, white sand beach and a pretty girl, what more could you want. OK, running water and electricity would be nice but what the heck.

Sierra Leone may not be for everyone but for the enthusiast that is looking for an African experience, I would recommend it. Try to combine it with a trip to Accra, Ghana. Its a really cool place. Lots of opportunities for fun there too.

Nice. I am really liking these far end of the earth reports.

Can you give some info on maybe the best places to stay, the rates of food and girls? ANy pics?

Thanks again.

Is Sierra Leone English or French? Can't remember my high school geography.

Can you give us the 411 on Ghana? I have been seriously thinking of going there for a 2 week trip. THX

They speak English but to para frase DR Spock "It's English Jim, but not as we know it".

I work with a guy from South Africa and I can't understand half the shit he says. Kind of like an Australian trying to talk while sitting on an operational blender.

Any extra precautions to take in high AIDS countries like this. Not sure I would accept a bbbj from such women. Pity too cause I'm sure they'd do a good job.

While AIDS in Sierra Leone is quite a bit higher than in most industrialized countries, their rate is about the same as the Dominican Republic.

The main problems with AIDS in Africa are in the central and southern countries.

I know that you had problems understanding a South African after all we speak the queen's ENGLISH after years of traveling to the USA I am still not sure that language you abuse, oops I mean use.(just kidding...or am I?)
