Lizzy is here!! I am so happy to have her here!
Today we woke up early and headed out to the beach. We grabbed a bite to eat at the bakery and then left for Kribi. When we finally arrived in Kribi we moved into our small little room and then got dressed to hit the beach. We walked down the beach to the falls, it was so beautiful and it was a nice walk. We hung out down there for a bit and took pictures. When we got back to our hotel we ate a little something and then went back out to the catch some more rays.
We got ready for dinner, took a shower in our lovely shower that was basically wide open in the room and then we took pictures on the beach with all of us girls. After we took pictures we headed to town to get some dinner. We had pizza again for dinner, but it was quite delicious. After dinner we stopped by the bakery, and Andrea, Rosisn and Lizzy and I decided to stay out in the town for a bit longer. (I guess on the way home Bill and Trixy got hit by a moto in their car and it took off their mirror, it was crazy I guess, but we missed it).
The four of us girls hung out and relaxed and then we decided it was time to head back so we got two motos to take us back to the hotel. But first they took us to the wrong spot and then the other moto driver had to stop and get some credit on his phone. We then finally headed back to the hotel. It was my first moto ride and it was awesome! I felt so free! This was Lizzy’s first moto ride as well and I am so glad that she got to experience it while here in Cameroon!
Rosisn was riding with me because she spoke French, so we told the driver we were married, but we also got them to take us back to the hotel for 1000 francs because we said “but were pretty”. Oh Africa. When we got back to the hotel, they came out and yelled at the guys that brought us back because I guess they weren’t suppose to. It was kind of scary.
Everyone was out on the patio when we got back so we visited. We then were going to call it a night, but the 7 of us girls decided to go for a dip in the ocean! What a great night, we took showers after we got back. One of the girls had ants all over her, so she ran to the shower, it was an experience, but a good one! Oh yes one more thing, their were bioluminescence’s in the water, they were really neat, it was a night well spent in Kribi.
A little taste of Africa
Lizzy at the falls! So cute :)

Day 74 - Sunday, December 18, 2011
Woke up pretty early again, we were going to walk to the Ilomba hotel to eat some breakfast, but we decided to drive instead. On our way there we saw a moto accident. I’m not sure what happen, but there were 4 people on the moto, two stayed on top of the bridge, the other two were barely hanging onto the side of the bridge and the bike was long gone in the water at the bottom of the bridge. It was very scary and we pray they everyone made it out with no major injuries, everyone seemed to be fine however.
After we ate a huge breakfast, we headed back to the hotel, packed up and left for home. We got back around 3 or so and it felt so good to be home; never thought it would feel so good to call this place home, but it actually feels like home now. When we got back, we slept for a long time. We then made some dinner and went down to Bill and Trixy’s. We had spaghetti and the works and then watched a movie. We called it a night after the movie and headed to bed! Ahh it’s so nice to have Lizzy here, she’s a great addition! Also Mom and Dad, thank you so much for the bag of goodies you sent to me, I love love love them! Love you all and miss you every much!
Our lovely hotel room that was a million degrees.
