| After an interesting night, we needed a restful stop in Bamenda before visiting any more kingdoms along the Ring Road. Well, it was at least a better night of sleeping than the last camp but the slim balls and shower definitely had me worried. |

I love this picture. In the distance, you see the sign saying there has been five deaths here and then all the guard railing torn out from cars going over the bank. |

I thought the accidents might be due to some overloading issues but this car seems to have all its bananas in place. |

Then we found these fresh mushrooms for sale on the street. We bought two bundles for dinner. |

Then it was cabbage! The agriculture here is beautiful. I cannot stress the difference from Gabon, who did not grow much of anything. |

For dinner, we grilled up some rabbit with those mushrooms in a mustard yogurt sauce served over smashed potatoes. |

It looks nice and grassy but there were slime balls all over the place. They were left there by toads after they met other toads late in the night. |

This was the highlight of our campsite. The fun part was getting in without stepping in the sludge water, shutting the door without moving the stick, and then turning on the ice cold water. |

| Tomorrow we are going to visit the Fon of Bafut. We have our gifts all ready for the king. |
I think I would leave my flip flops on!
sure primative !tyou two have a lot of “moxie” traveling all over the place like that. man i sure have to give you credit i go down to my farm and after i spend a couple of weeks i start getting ready to get back home. you “guys” would have made good explorers with people like colombus or cortez. those cabbages looked really good. did the mushrooms have the same tast6e as ours. they look different.
Beautiful! What exactly does “slim balls” mean? Your dinner sounds fabulous. Did you actually catch the rabbit yourself?
