Opportunity seldom knocks twice, somehow my door is about to be knocked down. Time to return to this little French influenced paradise... (Congolese drums and chants)

Entry 17 of 21 | show all | print this entry

This day...  I won't even go into indepth.  Shortly, we arrived at 10 and we didn't have to leave until 2100.  So we first go to the base...  check in and ask the travel lady if there is a bar near by.  Anyway, while there, we see a fella that we worked with and told him to come join us at the bar.  We have many many beers and start our own little party with the bartender and his couple of friends.  Fredie, the fella we invited eventually made it.  Around 8pm the bus driver came and started yelling at us, saying we were late - although we had already told the driver to come pick us up.  He said we had no time to pay the bill - which hadn't been tallied up yet.  So Burity and I drop about $100 total, that was all we had, and asked Fredie to pick up the rest if there was any more, he was reluctant but agreed.  We arrive at the base... some accountant starts yelling at us saying how irresponsible we are cause we made 9 people wait maybe who will miss the plane.  We had a little argument, because we told the driver to come at 6...  anyway. we get to the airport, and as we are checking in, the bar tender shows up and starts saying we owe him money - the money Fredie was supposed to help us out with.  After arguing with the man over $15, I gave him a $50 (all I had) and told him to leave.

After waiting for two hours, the plane ends up being delayed and we have to go check into a hotel...  Burity and I check in, hail a cab and head out to the town.  It was a little late and we couldn't find a club so we ended up just driving around then returning to the Hotel.
