I made it. I am in Liberia since 3 days.
I had a lovely flight with Brussels Airlines. It is the first time I flew with them and they are excellent. It is a relatively small airline but the offer services like a big one. I was really impressed. And then, I was on my favorite aircraft, the Airbus A330-300 (Yes, Baron, I know....). After a flight with a cozy ambiance I landed in Monrovia. There was a big signboard with my name on it. It was from the airline informing me that my luggage will be delayed. Well, this can happen and as an experienced traveller I had some spare cloth in my backpack. And meanwhile, my luggage has arrived too.
I stayed for 3 days in a hotel and yesterday I moved into my residence. As you can see on the picture, it does not look bad. It is not bad, at all. The building has three apartments on each floor, air conditioned, free WIFI and the apartments are nice. I have a small one with a dining/living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. It is very pleasant.
I have done all my red tape and have received my dog tag (UN Idendity Card) and am now ready for "business". And content to be in the field again.

Bonne arrivee mon Cher Peter..Welcome to Liberia. The airbus was obviously not big enough for your luggage....lol...nothing beats or even comes close to the Boeing aircraft.
ReplyDeleteYour building looks very nice from the exterior...which floor are you on? also I forgot how long you were going to be in Liberia..glad you have free WIFI at your place because it means you will be posting again and giving us a glimpse of your life over there. I am curious to know what you are eating there...drinking...pictures of the city...etc...and whatever you chose to write about. I an sure it will all be very interexting as usual. Cheers...
I wish you all the best in your new endeavors.
