Thursday, February, 22nd, 2007The joyful news today is that they have put all of the worst part of the journey behind them, but not a moment too soon. Fatigue is now taking over and leading to mistakes that would otherwise be avoided. This is driving of the worst kind over non-existant roads against a deadline.
The car seems to have picked up a dent along one side as a souvenir of the crossing, but this is one mighty car to have survived when so many others didn't.
They are now in the city of Maroua, in Cameroon. This is a city of about 2 million people and the principal city in the north. It is also where the banking and administration for the school is done. As luck would have it, Felix, the school's director was in town when our three musketeers arrived, so a warm meeting and greeting was had.
I imagine as I write this that they have now arrived in the village to a rapturous welcome, but I am getting ahead of myself. Perhaps we should await David's next post. Stay tuned!
