Var är alla människor?
... nästan som om många av byarna övergivits, trots att husen verkade vara av mycket bättre standard än hyddorna i till exempel Kamerun. Gabon låter som ett spännande resmål och har faktiskt mycket att erbjuda om man kan snyta pengar ur näsan, ...
0 degrees, 0 minutes & 10 seconds South - Equator
