APH: The route out of Nigeria was typical in many ways: wonderful hospitality courtesy of the Igben family, lots of persistent and clearly intoxicated policemen (total bribe count so far is 1 cerial bar) and gradually deteriorating roads. Thankfully I was not alone, Gillian Brock's excellent company easily making up for her occasionally erratic driving.
The Cameroon border was where the roads stopped and the fun really started. Rainy season is definitely not the best to travel through Ekok. Two days later, helped by a diet of coffee, cookies and the inspirational sounds of Now 39 we made it to Douala and the first rendez-vous of the trip. Swapping Gillian for Tom felt like being rather short-changed, particularly when he revealed a complete inability to pack a car properly and a weakness for forgetting which side of the road to drive on.
