From Sierra Leone’s main airport there are three choices to get into town. One is by an old Soviet helicopter. The second is a drive that takes around fourteen hours. The third is a 45 minute trip on a delapidated old car ferry, jammed with dusty four-by-fours, with a saloon bar upstairs where you are entertained by a comedian and a tap dancing dwarf.  Its colourful and wild, but who on Earth ever thought of building an airport that almost inaccessible to the main city?
