Laico Okoume Palace Hotel Libreville

Nos levantamos y fuimos directos a ver a Román y Almudena; todos nos moríamos por ver como habían dormido, que pinta tenía la tienda de campaña encima del coche, que nos contaran más... Pasamos todo el día con Román y Almudena. Fuimos a desayunar a Port Mole, a una cafetería a lo más francés. Café expreso y croisanes a go-go. También nos dimos u...

Desayuno en el hotel frente al mar, tal y como habia imaginado dias antes al ver una foto del hotel por internet, y camino a Owendo para ver a tía Sor Clarita. Compramos la tarjeta telefónica después de un buen rato de vacile en la oficina de Zain con las dependientas, que además se dió el caso de ser el cumpleaños de una de ellas, y hasta le ca...

Cogimos el vuelo a las 10 de la mañana y llegamos a Libreville a las 1730. Al pasar el control de aduanas nos esperaba nuestra especial bienvenida: El agente de aduanas nos envía a inspección por tener una cámara fotográfica con un mes de antigüedad (la de Eli) Contactos con el director de aduanas (o eso dijo que era, pollo sin vergüenza!) A pes...

Anoth** quite late departure leaving camp at 8. If th**e was any day we wished to leave at 7 today was it. Mum and Jay don't think we'll make it to Libreville so planning anoth** bush camp just outside. V**y frustrating being so close yet so far. Oh well. It was worth a try. Still secretly hoping that we do though! Luck seemed to be on our side...

With Oliver on cook group I had to haul **** out of bed early early. Errrrrrgggghhhhhh. Suzy Q and Kristy went running. Not surprisingly, the thought of getting all hot and sweaty then not being able to shower for possibly another 3 days put me off. Everyone was ready to go by about 7.30 but we didn't end up leaving till 8 and then when we did ...

Libeville is not really the place to make a lot of pictures.Its a modern metropolis with a busy city center right on the beach front.Right in the center of town is the enormous palace of the president, videocameras and soldiers all over the place.The French presence in Libreville is felt everywhere and they maintain large embassy compounds in th...

Its times like this that remind me; I'm a long, long way from Missouri. While still relaxing in Addis Ababa after my trip to the northern half of the country I was talking with a German guy named Jans who had traveled in the Omo valley of southern Ethiopia with Brian. Jans was on a very long journey that made even mine trip seem like a two week ...

We first fly through Congo to add some more passengers and then on to Gabon. We arrive in Libreville, GA at noon. As we head towards the exit, I look among the men holding signs for arrivals. In my head I think, 'hey look, that guy is holding a Schlumberger sign. I wonder if I know the person.' JP caught on a little quicker than I. We weren't ex...
