This most be the ultimate camping spot in Congo. Only 10
km from the Gabon border and passed the Congo
immigration post. So I guess its in the middle of
nowhere... I drove on an idyllic spot far from the main
road and it was really peaceful. |
Due to heavy rain, I had to move the
car in the middle of the night. Pitty because I then had
to park on the roadside, but no traffic in sight anyway. |

I found an airport! And luckily there were no planes
scheduled to land, actually there were no people or
buildings at all, just an airstrip. No matter how nice
it is to camp with either your own guestroom or camp at
a secure parking, this is what I enjoy the most. All
alone, no people, no sound of the main road. Just Betsy,
me and the sound of nature.
|
This is the main road I took off from
on my way to the airstrip. The roads are perfect up to
the Presidents villa (or homestead) which now has become
a small city. |

Staying at L&P institute was very
nice. I even met a Norwegian there and he gave Betsy and
me shelter during our stay in the big city. Shower and
toilet in the basement and electricity was offered.
There were some fuzz from some of the small chiefs, but
Magnar managed to make peace with them. So it was all
for free.

This is my new friend Tannia who
joined me crossing the dangerous (!!!) Congo river with
the ferry. She didn't really enjoy my evaluation of
Angola though, but I guess she has to invite me back for
a second view. |
