Roads of Cameroon

We left Nigeria and entered Cameroon. Our first night there we stayed in a little village named Ekok because the roads we impassable because of the rain.

The next morning it was gushing down rain. We left Ekok, got 3 miles down the road and were stopped. Local people were protesting the horrible condition of the roads by not letting any trucks go past. Which meant no goods could get place to place. There was a road block and we were not go past.

Eventually, after the commissioner pleaded on our behalf and lots of men talking and arguing, we were allowed to leave after waiting for half the day. Although it was frustrating going nowhere for hours, I can understand where these people are coming from. Some roads in Cameroon are horrible and in the rainy season totally impassable.

Muddy mud...




See the big puddle?



If you're not careful, those trees will getcha!


Unfortunatly, we didn't end up having to push Nala out of the mud. Bummer, too, because I was looking forward to it. But there is still more Africa to go through!
