The Muddy 7-Mile Trek

The main road from Kumba westward wasn't too bad, no 4-wheel drive needed.  We were dropped off at this intersection, where a cocoa-truck came to haul all our luggage & groceries.  After a quick stop to down some rice & sauce at a local eatery (the porch of a house), we ladies and children set off on foot, each of us moms carrying backpacks with 2 computers each, plus water/juice and umbrella.

Mud boots protected our feet & legs, but also ended up giving many of us sore feet (maybe more pairs of socks are needed next time). 





Enjoy the pictures, though it was impossible to get good enough pictures to show you the real state of the road...


4 hours of walking....













And finally, home and "safe" under mosquito nets....
