Cameroon part six – Sean’s departure and the return to Calabar!


Sadly Sean left us after Bali to head to Yaounde and onto Gabon. Leanne and I decided to head back to Limbe where we splashed out on a nicer hotel right on the coast! We relaxed and had an afternoon nap listening to the waves lapping against the shore! Sadly the swimming pool wasn’t working which was a big disappointment. We went to the Limbe wildlife Centre to report the chimps being held in captivity and met up with Chris, one of our friends working in Affi Mountain which was really nice! It was nice to have 2 days of relaxation before boarding the boat back to Nigeria!


The view from our hotel restaurant!



The trip back went pretty smoothly, the staff on the boat (Ashuka) are very professional and kind and definitely looked out for us. Met some people I travelled out of Nigeria with on the boat and caused great issues because I wasn’t sat in the VIP area this time! As it was a night ship I managed to fall asleep but woke up to find people taking pictures of Lea and I – was not happy and I shouted at them and threatened to take their cameras, that is one practice I really hate. I’m happy to pose for photos but I strongly dislike people just snapping (especially when I look a total state!!).

Luckily the nice lady from immigration was working so we had our passports stamped quickly as she remembered me! And we didn’t have to see SS either because he remembered me and was happy for me to be back in Nigeria! After Lea’s luggage was thoroughly searched we were finally free to go and avoided giving the “gifts” we were asked for by customs and immigration officers! I was warmly welcomed back to Nigeria by the lovely Nomzy and was happy to be back if very hot and sweaty!!
