Douala to Sangmelima
Brake pads fitted, Congo visa received, ready to continue. We planned to go to Yaounde and see how far we could get. As it turned out the roads were good, the town traffic was slow but kept moving and we made good time. At Yaounde, we decided to continue to Sangmelima. It's a long way but there were only two corrupt cop roadblocks on the way. One just wanted money, the other wanted our boots. Not sure what he thought we would ride away in if we gave away our boots!
Some lovely stretches of road and the first time for a long time we could just ride without constantly being stopped. It did rain but being hot and humid it wasn't worth putting on rain gear until it really started to pelt down. It didn't last long and by then we were boiling in the rain gear. Sangmelima is quite a big town and finding a hotel and fuel was easy. There was no electricity but the hotel used a generator at night so there was light and some AC.
