Limbe part 2

After our tour of the wildlife sanctuary we were eager to get out of the heat and spend the day at the beach.  This is one of the most beautiful beaches with very dark sand due to volcanic activity.  Mount Cameroon is near this region.  We saw a lot of hills around the area, but the clouds prevented a good clear of Mt Cameroon.

We arrived at a private beach visited by a lot of Mercy Ship crew.  The beach is owned by a hotel and restaurant.  While we awaited our lunch orders, we enjoyed some wonderfully refreshing water with good waves at low tide.  This was one of the cleanest beaches I have ever seen.  From the water we had beautiful views of mountains.

 We claimed a nice covered area with tables for lunch.  It was build over the waters and provided a good breeze and good view.



We had some well prepared barracuda along with fresh vegetables, potatoes and rice.

Everyone travels with lots of water,
 but a cold coke was really refreshing.

After lunch the tide came in and we were over the water.

After a little too much sun and a good burn that lasted most of the week, we returned home and made it in time for dinner.

The trip took us past a lot of banana plantations and other interesting sights.  During one traffic jam we did a lot of people watching and enjoyed such unique sites such as a motorcycle with a large (dead) pig strapped on the back.   Most of the motorcycles have at least 3 passengers.  They constantly weave in an out of traffic and get through the traffic jams better than any other vehicle.  We heard there is a helmet law, but I haven't seen anyone with a helmet.  The motorcycles are not licensed or registered, so we see them everywhere.
