It was a ship's holiday on Friday - which means we're having a lovely long weekend. And so we went for a walk through the market and into downtown Freetown yesterday. It was lovely to get out and about and see some more of Freetown's culture, buildings and scenery. Here are some photos from our walk - starting with the one at left of me with a group of happy, friendly children!
This is the Clock Tower - pretty-much in the centre of the market.
An impressive cannon near Government Wharf.
A beautiful church also near Government Wharf.
I couldn't believe it when we came across a really well-preserved English Post Box!
Lovely old architecture.
And on one of the walls outside Freetown's port a new mural is slowly appearing - the
Africa Mercy!
