The Gabon appears a much friendlier country although we did encounter two very tricky roadblocks. For 18 roadblocks and only two bad ones that isn’t bad. We were asked for driving licence, insurance, carnet, passport, fire extinguisher, medical records, in the end I got the computer out and provided the dates of every vaccination received for the last ten years. He was after a 5000.00 cfa fine. Eventually on our way having met at this stop, two French families that live out here. One lady was English and her sister from Colchester.
Good to pass the equator
Max, Michelle, Marie Paul, Martins and Dawn.
These friendly people we followed for a few miles and exchanged details. Max who works with Total in Libreville said if we need any help at all, give him a call. They showed us our next turn off, and we said our goodbyes.
The Day was bright and sunny, but in the evening as we opened up our soggy tent, the rain started all over again.
