DRC and CAR
 
Hi All

Sorry to post this here again, just hoping I can get quick responses:

I am heading up to Kinshasa, then a barge all the way up Congo river to Bangui. I´ve heard unconfirmed reports of motorcycle theft in DRC - can anyone confirm this? I will only be doing the small section from Banza Sosso to Kinshasa - so doubt it is an issue.

What about CAR? I have NO BRIBE MONEY!

Would love to hook up with any riders in Luanda.

Anyone seen or heard from Linzi?

Cannot PM or email her.

Any recommendations on where to stay?

I have only heard of "The Yacht Club" - but it seems it is far out of town...

My bike and gear is currently parked in front of the Residence of the South African Ambassador - and the flies are all over it (I do have the horns from a bull on my front mudguard - and they are over a week old from Sesfontein, Namibia!)

I can be contacted on +264 855 666 080

Any visa information particularly for the francophone countries using the French embassy here in Luanda or in Kinshasa, as well as security info regarding DRC and CAR would also be greatly appreciated.
