We parked just after the bridge and walked to the immigration. Easy process, just slow as they don't have many foreigners passing, they write down every possible piece of information. Another guy came and took away our passports to stamp, then we got sent to another guy who again writes down all the details into a different book then we could continue to customs.
Entering Liberia with our right hand drive car, Richard the chief, who was drinking beer and playing American 80's love songs, tried to make it a problem for us, saying it's illegal to enter Liberia with a right hand drive car and we need to go back. I said we drove from England, that's how it came out of the factory and it's safe. We argued for a bit and then I said I want to talk with his boss, he called him and the boss told him to give us the temporary import paper, he was nice after that. They had no interest in checking our car, we didn't have any CDP or lassier passer. The TIP was free and valid for 30 days.
The road to Toe town in late April is not possible with 2wd, huge pools of water and mounds of mud. We did try on our own but decided to turn back and ask in a local village for help. Turns out they have two heavy duty diggers as they run the local logging business. We came to an agreement for them to drag us through the mud with a digger all the way to Toe town. It was late so we slept in their village and continued in the morning. We paid a lot, but it was the only option to pass the road, initially they asked for 150 dollar & we settled on 100 euros. Expensive but that's what we have our emergency money for
