Sierra Leone in Lonely Planet's '09 best
How encouraging to see Sierra Leone starting to pop up on the tourism radar again. We were also in the Wanderlust guide which I can't find online - yet - but you'll be the first to know when I do.

This is good news....
I also think VSL should take some credit for exposing Sierra leone to the outside world.
Nice wan
Talking about Sierra Leone being on a top ten list is like saying when the sun come up it gets hot here on the ground. Sierra Leone is a virgin territory. Managing that resource and preserving its unique aesthetic is the challenge. A don eat beaucoup garri dis mornin en me at lite lite lek feder pilla so here goes:
Has anyone thought to swim the length between Kent and Banana Island as a way to futher raise the profile as a viable destination? Or profile the piece of Island off the York part of the peninsular with some kine exercise using a motif peculiar to york? When I was growing up York was stigmatised as a village full of witches or that there was some kind of extra sensory activity goes on between the inhabitants of the little halfway spot between Freetown and the end of the Peninsular at Kent. By speed boat to Banana from Kent is about fifteen or twenty minutes. I am not sure i have not done that for 20 years. But I have always thought a day out that involved a large number of people connecting the two destinations will create new ways to market their potential. I fancy swimming it. Or I am confident I can get people to do it and charge them for the priviledge. I know a lot of people who enjoy to flesx their muscles. Okay thats all well and good. Are there enough well made pampams to be pressed into service to watch the swimmers? Or enough small boats rigged with basic outboard motors to ferry the crowd. You see when you grap monday mornin en eat garry en okro, all kine tin kin pass na you mind. But Salone is beautiful. Infrastructure en management, vision en small care nomoh, we go able pay for basic amenities for service da area dey...so yeah being on a list is good stuff. We just have to stay there. And someone said that VSL had something to do with it. I think so too.
A very interesting blog, I like it
