Kribi - a perfect way to end our stay

The last few days provided the opportunity to go to Kribi, a quick trip to a tropical beach. The journey was an adventure. I have never been in such a tightly packed bus before; the rows should take four but with the additional fold up sit extended into the aisle made it five, plus children. Our luggage was tossed on top of the bus, later joined by a goat, that was passed up and tethered to the roof rack for the journey. Getting out en route was demonstrated by a young woman who went out via the window. Her goods, shoes, etc passed to her by fellow passengers.Arriving in Kribi, Elvis, one of themany taxi drivers who decended onus when we arrived, came from Bamenda and spoke English.He was most helpful and helped us locate an hotel, within our budget.Le Jardin d'Eden was just right, simple, met our needs and the setting idyllic. We arrived early afternoon and the next day we went for a walk , watched the fishing net being pulled in, but sadly only a small catch.The return journey was as interesting and a final shop at the local market when we got back to buy some Cameroon football shirts to take home .I have been back a while and I suspect I am the slowest blogger ever but thank you for your best wishes and joining me on my journey. It is good to be home .Would I go back, yes, I would love to, working in Cameroon was an experience not to be missed but anywhere in Africa would be fine.See how it goes and what opportunities present in the future.Wendy
