Part way up with some way to go..

Part way up Leicester Peak I took this photo, you can see part of the peak in the back ground. We'd already been walking for sometime (uphill all the way).

The national hobby- football. It seems as though everyone plays. These guys were playing as we ate our lunch. They then challenged some of those who we were hiking with to a game- it was so much nicer to sit and watch!

Pics from Leicester Peak

This picture is of the view from the top of Leicester peak towards Lumley beach and the Aberdeen area of town. We hiked up Leicester peak from the town on Saturday.

A view of central Freetown from part way up Leicester peak (round the other side of the ridge to the above photo. The 'large' white building towards the centre left of the picture is the Youyi (sorry if I've spelt it wrong- am not quite sure of the pronounciation either!) building, which houses several of the government ministries. It was built by the Chinese and is the only/ one of very few 'high-rise' buildings in Freetown. I work about 10 mins walk from the Youyi building (5 mins if I'm wearing very practical shoes).
