This was a bad time for travelling in Sierra Leone, right in the rainy season. Winds and storms can be violent and last long. This video of the 676 kilometers cycled thus features a lot of water, mostly on the eastern roads, which are not tarred. But also Tiwai island, the hectic traffic of Freetown, a few insects, the very bad road to Liberia that make you feel quite insecure about your GPS and maps, plenty of curious kids, and two apoto / pomui (white man) in between.
The country is having too much bad luck, with ebola striking in the middle of the recovery from a decade of civil war, which the cheerful and curious people do not deserve.

It’s amazing to watch those african kids running after your bike and yelling “pomui”. Their smile is so pure and they are indeed rich in time and hapiness. Thanks for sharing this vid,
l’aventure continue avec de superbes images , les musiques qui accompagnent tes vidéos sont très douces et mélodieuses ( elles sont de qui ).
Les 2 titres sont de Ali Farka Touré (Mali), ce sont des MP3 que j’ai récupéré au Sénégal.
