The Culinary CruiseUnited States

Sierra Leone is the spiritual sanctuary of Africa.

Finally arrived in Sierra Leone🇸🇱 from the movie "Blood Diamond" A niche African country with few tourists Also one of the poorest countries in the world Even fridge magnets can't be bought here... But after coming here, I found it not as bad as I imagined In the chaos, there can be a kind of harmony Traveling in Africa, your spiritual state will be elevated Don't care about the accuracy of time and space Because you never know how long a few minutes is Enjoy the present, happiness can be simple💕 Day trip to Freetown, the capital No taxis, all by tuk-tuk From the chaotic and noisy city center to the scenic seaside hotel There is a strong and unreal sense of division First go to the iconic landmark of the city📍cotton tree A giant kapok tree appears in front of you🌳 Take a closer look and it bends into an amazing shape This 500-year-old tree has also witnessed the history of Freetown From the slave market that has been colonized for more than 500 years To the ten-year civil war caused by the pink diamond mine Like the metaphor of this city "Freetown" Freedom is more precious than diamonds Next to it is📍Sierra Leone National Museum Tickets🎫 are 80,000 per person, which feels very casual There are two exhibition halls, the place is very small, and the exhibits are also displayed casually However, it is one of the few attractions in Freetown After visiting, you can go to📍Eastern Police Clock Tower It is also the busiest and most lively place in Freetown You will be shocked by the atmosphere here Crowds and traffic converge Like a deafening symphony Finally, with the help of passers-by, I got a tuk-tuk Go to the observation deck on the top of the mountain📍Panoramic point in Freetown Due to road repairs, it can only be opened halfway But you can overlook the entire city, the view is great 🚢Transportation From Conakry, Guinea to Freetown, you can take a boat 100 dollars, 4 hours by boat, landing visa to Sierra Leone 80 dollars Customs will ask for a tip for checking luggage, give 1 dollar to get rid of it 🍴Food 📍Mamba Point Hotel Restaurant Lagoonda This restaurant is mainly about the environment, eating dinner by the sea at sunset There is an illusion of not being in Africa... 🏨Hotel 📍Radisson Blu Mammy Yoko Hotel Facilities are complete, it is already a very good hotel in Sierra Leone The back door of the hotel is the beach🌊 although it is not good-looking...
