Around Kribi
The Road Chose Me Volume 2 OUT NOW!!
The Road Chose Me Volume 2: Three years and 54,000 miles around Africa
I move South to the beachside paradise of Kribi, one of Cameroon’s most famous. As luck would have it the owner of a massive hotel likes to meet travellers, and I can camp for free as long as I buy food in the restaurant. Rather than free camping with paid food, I like to think of this as free food with paid camping 
My spot on the beach
I setup under a couple of palm trees on the sand, only thirty yards from the surf. The water is as warm as a bath, though unfortunately there are no waves to speak of. Just down the beach is the famous Lobé Waterfalls, which are unique because they drop right into the ocean. I spend the afternoon scrambling over the rocks, getting as close as possible to the raging water. It’s a dark brown/black color, so I decide not to jump in.

Sunset is worth a look too!
Running low on supplies I head into the street market in town, and immediately love the place. I gather lots of tourists come to town, though they must not venture into the market. Locals call out greetings and and happy to stop and chat, surprised I speak passable French. I pickup bread, advocates, vegetables and some meat, all for only a few dollars.
The beach is endless
Morning views are great!
One day in paradise turns into two, and when I have my second coffee at the Jeep at 11:30 the following morning, that turns into three. I am really happy to have the Jeep open and thoroughly dry everything in the sun, the humidity means nothing is ever really dry.
The beach is endless
Love those beach campsites
Looking at the map, I am getting close to the Southern edge of Cameroon…. hmm, what comes next?
