The beautiful scenery as we drive to Lope National Park.
One day of rest and relaxation was sufficient to recharge our batteries to head out to La Lopé National Park. On our way past Libreville we made our mandatory stop at the Cécado Supermarkets to stock up on beers and things. This particular branch of the supermarket was next to all the wholesale fish sellers. We couldn’t resist the big bags of prawns that the persuasive fishmongers were touting and took a big bag full for dinner.
Leaving Libreville, we passed through the 10 odd checkpoints quickly. Nobody seemed interested in pulling us over today. Despite this, we were slow moving out of town due to general traffic and will not reach Lopé tonight. Even if we don’t reach the park, at least we have the lovely prawns to look forward to.
