The total cost is around 35,000 CFA each.<br><br><br>Pre-climb - Bought the food we would need for our meals on the trek, with another guide Samuel helping us in the market which is right beside the office.

Buea, Cameroon andrewsinclairOliver and I awake to hear the drama of last night unfold as we were already in bed. Luke and Clara took Kristy to the police station early morning but she was simply told to "come back later" followed by "crimes like that don't happen here". She ended up having to return about 5 times and even then I'm not sure she ever obtained a police report. The rest of our time in Limbe was spent in various ways. Those wanting to trek Mt ...
Limbe, Cameroon oliveramberA few of us got up at 6 to trek to the waterfall for a nice refreshing early morning swim. We waded across a river and up through jungle following pretty much just the sound of the waterfall as any paths we followed soon disappeared. Brushing passed something I felt my knee burn then start to itch. It soon disappeared so I forgot about it. Nearing the waterfall the jungle thickened and another stream appeared. I opted for wading in the river ...
Limbe, Cameroon oliveramberThe rain didn't persist during the night so we're hoping for another semi dry day. Jay and Kelvin were tinkering around with the truck due to a few things coming loose, as was expected on such terrible roads. To fill in time we discovered a rather beautiful spider in a perfect web. Even I could appreciate this... mainly because the way it was positioned in its web made it look like it only had 4 legs. 4 legs is fine... it's the 8 legs that freaks me ...
Limbe, Cameroon oliveramberVoir un gendarme avec son costume ressemblant a celui des francais et dune tres grande gentillesse. Une frontiere ou je n ai pas pu prendre de photo. J avais hesite a prendre le risque de photographier mais finalement j ai pose la question et cela m a ete refusee. Je prends generalement beaucoup de risque pour prendre ces photos car c est strictement interdit et si un policiers/douaniers/militaires me voient en train de prendre ...
Limbe, Cameroon vmarchalUp v**y early to leave by 7. A pointless task since we arrive at the gate and have to wait a few hours for someone to come with a key to let us out. Frustrating start to the day. Stop at town of Ikom for cook group shopping. My turn already, I swear it comes around quick** and quick** each week. Not an awful lot of choice - plenty of tomatos but that's about all. Oliv** manages to find some packs of cheese balls so we ...
Limbe, Cameroon oliveramber... then had gone to England as part of the spoils of WWI. There were many fewer problems with the police. There was a checkpoint shortly after the bridge and when the policeman saw us in the van, he simply waved us on through. That never happens on the French side. A few kilometers later we came to a second checkpoint. Someone in the van said "they will stop us at this checkpoint for sure." But no, again we were simply waved on through. This surprised even the ...
Limbé, Cameroon joelmeeker... I find it strange that people who have been togeth** for weeks or months would wait until the last few days of the trip to finally start having "sexy times" togeth**, as if saying, "What the hell. Only a few days left so might as well have some fun since th**e are no repurcussions if it doesn't work out." I, howev**, remained as pure and chaste as always during my travels, and couldn't help but think, "Why don't I ev** get any sexy times? It's just not fair!"
Limbe, Cameroon modernnomad67... compartment were women, but there was also one middle aged man who wore a black leather cap and tried to converse with me. I spent my time on the train reading books about Russia. I was not with anyone I know. One time I decided to get off at a stop near a palace on a hill I passed numerous times. It was Pavlovsk Palace on the outskirts of Saint Petersburg which I visited earlier in 2007 ...
Limbe, Cameroon modernnomad67... an emergency situation in the kitchen. He called out, "Emergency! The cook just died. Does anyone know how to make Mexican food?" I couldn't resist. I raised my hand and yelled, "I do. Pick me!" I went through the restaurant to the kitchen in back and started cooking Mexican food Warren style - Torta de Zanahoria with a corn salsa side, Cilantro Mousse, Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa, Chiles En Nogada, Crepes with Seafood, Nopal ...
