Toronto to Toronto......Part 39
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2004 6:40 pm10 AM, After our engine was repaired because of an incident with an ugly bird earler on, Davy and i decided to give our plane a good cleaning from nose to tail 
. We paid for the repairs on our plane ($500), and brought it to our parking spot 
. while sitting in the plane and planning out our next stops we were suddenly attacked by a group of baboons that were out to get our (Splash's) screech 
. apparently the primates are hooked on alcohol because of an accident that happened years ago when a truck loaded with South African whiskey was involved in a crash with an elephant, the tanker tipped over and spilled the whole contents 
. The baboons were the first ones at the site and practically drank all of the whiskey and have been tormenting the people of Freetown and it's visitors (us) 
. While Davy was trying to fight off the baboons that were chewing on his boots and nibbling on his socks, i managed to get the engines started and directed Davy to kick that monkey in the teeth and close the door 
. We have to get out of here Davy screamed, i radioed for clearance.......waiting for a reply from the tower............. .
We finally got our clearance to take off and leave those sick monkeys behind yoo hoo.
Flying under the warm sun of Sierra Leone, and dressing our wounds from fighting baboons.
Flying over the town called Hastings, still in Sierra Leone.
Approaching Roberts International (GLRB) airport in Monrovia, Liberia.
Perfect landing with two engines (sigh).
A nice shot of us parked here at Roberts International, we're here for a short stop to pickup some supplies buy some diet pepsi and other pop. Davy is going to buy a cooler for the plane that you can plug in
. It would be nice to keep the screech cold for a change . There are some guys here in the general store that keep asking us if we can drop off a parcel in Ghana, they are willing to pay a lot of money($1500) for our services if we do it .The money would be nice but hmmmmm, Davy and i need to think about it before we get in to it.
Want to know whats going to happen???. Stay tuned, it will unravel soon. Happy flying
