... a few goats running around in the village that originated with RUDEC!) and it's pretty much died once they left. There are three of here now though who will be here for a few months so hopefully we should get something in place that can last.<br><br>On Friday we went on some visits to see orhpans and where they're<br>living (mostly in 'brick' huts with mud floors and corrugated zinc<br>roofs, and a fire pit in the middle to cook), as it's World AIDS day on ...
Belo, Cameroon sianevans... is the sister town adjacent to Blantyre) to visit the National Museum (not a great deal to it) and the French Cultural Centre also not a great deal to it unless there is a specific event going on. Fortunately for us, there was a specific event going on there that evening, in the form of a film launch at which the Black Missionaries (a famous Malawian reggae group who we also saw at Lake of Stars) were ...
Belo, Cameroon sianevans... same - thick thick jungle with spiders popping onto the truck as branches swept by. Rain hadn't caused too much mud so managed to get by without getting bogged. We had heard nightmare stories about previous trips being stuck for days on end digging out the truck.... a few mad people wanted this to happen... I didn't. Towards the end of the day we crossed over a via duct built in 1992 which offered amazing views across jungle to a waterfall ...
Limbe, Cameroon oliveramber... oon, the sealed road finished and dirt one, full of monst** pot holes, began. Thankfully th**e had been pretty much slim to none rainfall so mud was scarce. Still Jay had to skilfully maneuv**, more than just a few times, in ord** to avoid getting bogged. The road was narrow so we had an endless stream of branches and leaves scraping by the truck which in turn left us and our seats cov**ed in leaves, bugs and spid**s ...
Limbe, Cameroon oliveramber... That mixed with 40 degrees, unwashed clothes and body... Mmmm lovely. Went down to bak**y with some of the girls to purchase brown bread and cheese bread - soooo sick of white bread it's not funny. That and penne pasta.... for all you back home please NEVER EVER cook us penne pasta. Kristy wond**ed off to markets and came back with fans made out of reeds or palm fronds for all those who put in ord**s. Absolute Lifesav**s! Having heard ...
Calabar, Nigeria oliveramber... was the original plan and stated itin**ary, so I guess I can't complain. Cam**oon sits at a crossroads between West Africa and even more exotic and unexplored Central Africa, fitting at times into both geographical designations. One example of it being part of Central rath** than West Africa is its currency; Like Chad, Gabon, Congo, and Central African Republic, Cam**oon uses the Central African Franc, a currency with the same value as but not ...
Mamfe, Cameroon modernnomad67Dream Rating:   ; ; ; A- Background We spent a second day in the truck driving on terrible roads through the jungles of Cameroon. We camped in a clearing beside the road in the forest that bore an uncanny resemblance to the one we were at the previous night. "Did we go in a circle," we wondered. I went to bed quite early and didn't join the others around the campfire that night: The Dream I was driving my Jeep Cherokee with my ...
Kumba, Cameroon modernnomad67Dream Rating:   ; ; ; B- Background We had spent the day traveling through the jungle of Cam**oon from the *****ian bord** on some of the world's worst roads. We w**e camped in a large clearing beside the road. Even though it was v**y warm we built a campfire to sit and chat around well into the evening (as well as to scare the bugs away). The Dream In my dream I woke up during the night and got out of my tent ...
Mamfe, Cameroon modernnomad67... and lat** found that this was to avoid soldi** ants. These ants don't bite you when they see you, but instead they burrow into your und**wear, socks and the lining of your clothes and wait for a while before feasting.... One of the volunte**s found five ants in his sock and he had no idea that they had found their way th**e. Thankfully, *****ian insects do not seem to like me and I have only had one mozzie bite plus a few misc ones - I escaped the soldi** ants too. On our return, we ...
