Departing Monrovia, Liberia

My flight out of Monrovia was changed from 7:30am to 6:40am as such I had to leave the hotel foe the airport at 4am. To meet up with this ungodly hour I set my alarm for 3am.

Barrie kept to time and was at the hotel by 3:52am by which time I had already checked out and was waiting at the lobby.

The drive to the airport was about 50mins. No traffic but there was heavy fog / haze along the way which reduced visibility drastically. We eventually got to the airport at few minutes before 5am.

My initial flight was an Israelite journey as follows Monrovia > Accra > Lome >Abidjan and I was meant to reach late afternoon, however the new flight was now Monrovia > Abidjan > Accra > Lome >Abidja so I told the check in staff to cut out the other legs in the schedule shortening the duration and ensuring I arrive Abidjan in the morning.

I used the waiting time at the airport to spend the bulk of my left over Liberian Dollars sadly I couldn't get a souvenir at the airport.Read more
