Filed under: Cameroon
I am in Yaounde for a week for our mid-service medical checkups getting poked and prodded in every way imaginable and so far have come out clean besides bronchitis. It was cool, I got an inhaler so I can be cool like my asthmatic friends!
In 7 days my brother is coming to Cameroon!!!! I am so excited and it will be great to take some time off and relax with him touring around the south of Cameroon.
Anticipated highlights are:
- Spending three days climbing and camping on the highest mountain in West Africa (Mount Cameroon) at 13,255 feet. Not only the highest mountain in West Africa but an active volcano that rises out of the sea.
- Relaxing our tired legs on the beach at Limbe eating grilled fish for 50 cents. Sleeping in tents and hammocks on the beach, body surfing and throwing the disc in the water.
- Camping in Africa’s oldest rainforest in Korup national park. A living museum more than 60 million years old with more than 1,000 known species.
- Biking in the mountainous highlands of the Anglophone west province between villages and maybe Peace corps volunteers.
It will be a special 18 days between brothers and I will be sure to post some pictures when it is done!!

your asthmatic friends are less excited than you about having an inhaler.
