Leaving the plantation we headed into the lush jungle towards Idenao
(previously owned by Germany). Mt Cameroon (4,098m) stood majestically to
the left of us and the sea was ahead of us. Mt Cameroon is an active
volcano - the most recent eruption was in 2002 when huge lava rocks flowed
down the mountain, destroyed the palm plantations, local villages ... and
then abruptly stopped at the tar road leading from Idenao to Limbe.

A delightful surprise that night was some REAL CHAMPAGNE from England! Ben
& Chris had not yet toasted the start of their trip (life had been a
little hectic), so a good opportunity to pop the cork and share with
friends ... :-)
Finally ... toasting the start of their trip |
Cheers!! |
