Good shot Amanda, did you take this one from the shore?

mistybleu - Oct, 24 2009 11:10am
Fred, no I was on the (slow) ferry.

I was on one of those in Sierra Leone two years ago. Two days after I went on it, it caught fire and sent passengers into the ocean...

Krys what a great escape.

Amanda, yes - I also thought so. I am not sure why the craft caught fire (I think one of the balloons exploded). It was a good ride, though when I was lucky to get the ride. I do not think Sierra Leone have another one of those, and even if they had, I would still recommend taking the helicopter - for the transfer between the airport and the capital - separated by a very large river mouth.

There definitely safer froms of travel but I'm not sure a helicopter is one of them.
