Arrival (12 June 2003)
After the day's journey, stepping into the Ngala Lodge was somewhat
of a culture shock. My room was actually a large suite, with an
entry way, a living room, bedroom, and a spacious bath. The living
room opened up to a private garden, with a path beyond that winding
down to the ocean.
I threw my bags down by the bedside, and walked down to the bar.
Surprisingly, the first person I saw was Vasee, for whose wedding I
had come all this way. He and his wife Caroline were there, making
final arrangements for the dinner. After a quick greeting, we went
off to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.
After that, they dropped me back at the lodge, and I fell asleep
for a long night's rest.
Friday (13 June)
Friday I mostly relaxed around the hotel and ran errands in Serekunda.
