Visiting Kent, Salone style

30 minutes from Freetown, and here we are in Kent, a typical fishing village.

That island you see in the middle is Banana Island.


Fishing boats are usually inscriped with some saying. Not just fishing boats but on poda-podas & taxis too.


 
Outside the capital, local houses typically look something like this (although this one seems abandoned, I'm not sure). Brick houses are not always the norm for all sectors of society.


So some looked like this. Made of mud and with a thatched roof. I would have love to see the insides of one!


and...  after dipping in the warm waters of one of Salone's finest beaches. This is is Bureh.
