Anyone in Yaounde?

Hi, I made it to Yaounde and am now here for a week waiting on a Gabon visa.
If anyone is passing through, drop me a message if you fancy meeting for a drink....
I'm staying at the Foyer International l'Eglise Presbyterienne in Nlongkak, which is good for camping by the way.
Helen

Hi Helen... I was in Yaounde earlier in the year and stayed where you are at the Presbyterian Mission - gotta love that big lawn... When we (me and 3 mates) passed through we ended up meeting the local Yaounde Bikers. They have a bar which is sort of an unofficial clubhouse. Draught and great grilled meat. They were awesome guys - took us out for a few rides and were great company for a few s too. Found this link which will hopefully get you there...
Bar O'Biker - Yaoundé - Bars - its just down the hill from the Mission....
Safe travels.

PS enjoy the Gabon - Congo piste!

Hello Helen,
Thanks for the tip about where to camp in Yaoundé. We're in Maroua and will make our way to Yaoundé in the coming days, before also heading towards Gabon (we already have that visa). If you're still in town, we'd be happy to chat over a few s! We'll look out for you on the road otherwise.
til then

Georges

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
