Where to go for a day out?

On our last full day we like to take members of the host team out for some relaxation and a meal. They deserve it. They have worked really hard looking after us. Where to go is still to be finalised, but at a suitable distance from the bustle of Freetown is a venue that Samuel has suggested for us - Bureh Beach. From research I have done it looks just the ticket.

Bureh Beach - it goes as far as the eye can see!

Katrina Manson, writing in The Independent of 28 June, 2008, gives a glowing report of the food. "The catch of the day is fresh from the Atlantic that you gaze over from Bureh Beach. It could be barracuda, bonita or whatever the fisherman brings in on his precarious waist-width canoe dug out of a tree trunk."

"The outfit is run by the local development association – headed by the improbably named Prince Williams, quite as regal and charming as his name suggests – to share proceeds with the local village."

In 2008 a plate of fish was 25,000 leones (£4.20), a dozen oysters 40,000 leones (£6.70) and lobster priced by size, but unlikely to be more than 60,000 leones (£10).  If we get there, whatever the price is today, I bet that Sam will go for the lobster!!!

Last year, he loved it!
