After a busy week of work in the Purser's office, a group of my close friends headed out to Bureh Beach, only an hour's drive from the ship. We drove along a beautiful, scenic road, with many Sierra Leoneans out and about cleaning their streets and communities ahead of their 50th anniversary of independence celebrations on April 27th. We arrived at the beach and were blown away by the beauty of this quiet spot on the Atlantic Ocean. I'm sure you'll agree!
