I have great memories from Uzbekistan and I really liked Tashkent. I thought people were real friendly and I had no trouble with the police at all. Perhaps times have changed.
There is no embassy of Sierra Leone in Ghana, but there is a high commission that issues visas:
Sierra Leonean High Commission
83a Senchi Street
Airport Residential Area
Telephone (+233) 21 769189
Telefax (+233) 21 769478
slhc@ighmail.com
slhcaccra@yahoo.com
Head of Mission: Alie Bangura, High Commissioner
It takes about 7 days to issue visas. For Liberia, it takes 2 or 3 days. With Liberia, for whatever period your visa used to be, on the border they used to give only 48 hours, during which you needed to extend your visa further at the Immigration Office, which cost $25 and two photos were again required.
There is a Liberian embassy in Accra at Odoikwao Street (Airport Residential Area, off Amilcar Cabral Street - walking distance from the terminal)). Their telephone number is (+233 21) 775641.

Thanks for your feedback on my report. The capital city is definitely Saint George's (often abbreviated to St George's), like many post British Caribbean capitals.
The French fought and conquered Grenada from the Caribs circa 1650. The French conquest resulted in the genocide of 17th century Caribs from present-day Grenada. Warfare also existed between the Caribs of present day Dominica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines with the French invaders. The French took control of Camerhogue and named the new French colony La Grenade. La Grenade prospered as a wealthy French colony; its main export was sugar. The French established a capital known as Fort Royal in 1650 as ordered by Cardinal Richelieu. To wait out harsh hurricanes, the French navy would shelter in the capital's natural harbour. No other French colony had a natural harbour to even compare with that of Fort Royal (later renamed St. George's). The colony was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1763 by the Treaty of Paris.

Hello Wojciech,
first I saw some of your wonderful landscapes like
Langa Langa Lagoon which I like very much. Then I have discovered your many portraits of men (especially kids) and animals that are really gorgeous. You are a great artist!
Best regards from Germany - Petra

I'm a newbie as far as blogging goes and I want to send my greetings and intro of myself through my 1st ever blog with a new friend (I hope) from Poland. I have just one other friend in Poland but the young gentleman is there from Norway to graduate as a Doctor in Genealogy.
Looking forward to your friendship and exchange of tips and/or thoughts with travels of yours as well...
