  • In this episode, I am heading further to the south east of Liberia and it's a long day of motorcycling. Over 200 kilometers of dirt roads through the jungle and now that the rainy season has started, this is becoming more challenging very soon. But the rewards once I reach the National Park make it all worth it !!

    I have to say I am now retired after spending all my life travelling to places in USA and Europe. From watching your videos I realise how little in depth geography we miss with modern life and work. These videos are valuable education about geography, climate differences, living standards and culture that you cannot learn from a book. You are doing a great public service with these videos. It must be tiring, but it is appreciated by millions of people. Well done.

    Two mudholes and a luxury cabins? For 3 yrs I worked in the Amazon (Peru, Bolivia, Brazil). Sometimes I couldn't pass sections of "roads" as the ruts reached above the roof of my little Willy, sometimes I had to spend days/week in dirt shacks as my motorbike wouldn't fit in the canoes that crossed the frothing rivers, sometimes I had to walk for days in the mud slashing through the forests as the paths to my destination hardly exist anymore, one time I slept in a Shining Path base camp, one time I slept on top of a pigs bin. But all the times the people is what is still stuck in my head. Amazing people.

    These episodes in countries like this are without doubt the most interesting and educational for me and I guess many of the watchers. The jungle roads, the enormous problems for the local people that they have to struggle with on a daily basis. The roads during rain season and the difficulties to get from A to B. It is such a difference with the world we are used to, and Noraly handdles these conditions as an experienced local. And her reward at the end is indeed mind blowing: the hike trough the deep jungle and then a lodge that looks like it is of a different world far far away of the African jungle. As if Center Parcs has started a new venue in Liberia ......

    What amazing, kind people who have really gone out of their way to make you welcome and are so kind and friendly. I love the african people, especially the poorer onesand the women are really beautiful, tough and smart with big hearts. Often those countries we expect to be less friendly are often the biggest surprises and sierra Leone and Liberia are truely a surprise especially as the people have suffered so much wijth war, hunger. God bless these lovely kind people and take care of them.

    This brings back so many good memories of my time in this part of Africa. In my case, it was 50+ years ago and it was a LOT more primitive but, as you're finding out, the people were SO nice. No hotels back then (I often stayed in people's houses), pretty basic food (I didn't ask what kind of meat I was eating) and, as you saw TERRIBLE roads (mostly two-track trails like you showed at the last). It doesn't look like you''re having any mosquito issues (they don't breed in running water). I've had malaria so many times that they don't bother me anymore but do be careful.
