Robertsport, Liberia: Arriving

After the accident (see next blog) we continued on towards Robertsport, a small town with amazing beaches, known as one of the best places in Liberia for surfing.

We slowly emerged out of the bush to some civilization.

Buildings began to appear as we drove along.

Many of the structures are shells of buildings that were in pristine condition before the war. It gives a ghostly hint of what things might have been like.


Liberia is also full of hand painted bill boards usually trying to bring about social change on issues such as domestic violence, rape, HIV, youth violence, education, etc..

We stop at the top of a hill in Robertsport beside the local Methodist church which has been maintained well.

The view is amazing and our first of the yellow sand we will be tenting on.

The church is also beautiful.

A surprise when I peared through the window.

A still church.


We finally arrive at the beach where we will pitch our tents.

What a view.
