The road from Douala to Bamenda is very long. Not because it is of poor quality (it was very good for the first 5 hours), but because the road is the lifeline of the nation. Everything happens along the road: people walking, driving cars, motorbikes, bicycles, transport trucks, busses, did I say walking? And every village entrance and exit has a huge speed bump, to help us slow down even more, and possible buy some fruits, vegetables, tires, baskets, bbq meats, and everything else one can imagine! Needless to say, it took about 8 hours to get here.
Bamenda is the capital and major commercial centre in NW Region and it's been interesting, to say the least. We're staying in a very good hotel and are being well cared for by our hosts.
But now I've stolen enough of Dave's computer time. He's got work to do --- he even has his own office (with a window and door .. not a cubie!)
