Wahooo!! Cameroon! Immigration and customs was a doddle at Mfum on both sides of the river and Cameroom was a welcome sight. In fact, when we checked out of Nigeria, Immigration even asked us whether we had come in through an unmanned border rd and had then gone to Head Office for the stamp (as it was clearly from H/O) – which didn’t seem an issue at all and was clearly not the first time this had happened.
Whew - Cameroon Jungle roads still dry (just)
Cameroonian bridge we went over as we crossed the border.
Anyway, the rains haven’t really started so the roads were still ok but it’s clear how they could become very tricky very quickly. We drove all the way to Buea and set up at the Presbyterian Synob Office which is the starting point for climbing Mount Cameroon which we were going to do on the weekend with Dawn (friend from work based in Lagos) and her friends. I unfortunately had a small run in with a pot of some boiling oil that I dropped whilst trying to tip out……hmmm. Anyway, no emotional scars, maybe just some reminders of Cameroon for a while……maybe a long while….
