My current tour of duty in Monrovia has been pretty good so far, with the weekend of the 31st December 2006 spent at the Labadi Beach hotel in Accra. Once we Arrived in Monrovia everyone on the crew settled into a relaxed peaceful rithm of sleep music swimming and myself playing a game of squash every day at the local Liberian Squash club
which is situated in the middle of town at the back of a petrol filling Station and next to a very loud bar.
The Flying has been the normal United Nations schedule between Monrovia and Accra every Sunday and Thursday. The only difficult bit is the approach since the annual Harmattan wind wich is currently blowing from the Sahara Desert and reduces visibility to 400 meters. This is actually a very pleasant soft warm wind - more like a breeze and the temperature is around 30 degrees Celcius which is not bad for this area.
The photo above was taken yesterday morning at nine o' clock in the morning
and the sun looks almost like the moon on a foggy night.
