Yes, Sunday was my last full day on the ship. I had a busy morning cleaning my cabin and doing laundry. In the afternoon I went on one last trek through the city with my friend Joe. It seemed a bit quieter as many of the shops are closed on Sundays, but the road traffic was just as heavy. I almost got hit by a car on my last day, but luckily I was able to jump over a gutter just in time. We enjoyed Coca Cola on the street one last time and then headed back to the ship. I started to dis-assemble what was my little home for the last 6 weeks and pack it into my bags.
In the evening we went for dinner with a large group of people to a restaurant called Mamba point. It was very good food and a great way to end my time in Sierra Leone.
This morning, I had my last community meeting, where they say goodbye to all the people leaving. It was sad, but it has been a great adventure! Now I have to finish packing, have my room inspected, and then start the trek to the airport. We leave the ship at 1pm but do not fly out until 7pm so it will be a long day ending off with an overnight flight to Brussels. Once I arrive in Brussels, I will be heading to the Netherlands for 6 days, and then stopping in London, England for 2 days before heading home on July the 7th.
