My thoughts on Pointe Noire, Congo

Around a month ago Mikkel was sent off to work in Congo, Pointe Noire for a month, and the company paid for my air plane ticket to join him. At this point in time I was neck deep in the renovations of our new place, and I swear, that if I had the contractor screw up one more thing, I was going to lose it. I figured it was a good time to escape the stress here in Douala and head to Congo. Let me just point out here that I went to the Republic of Congo, and not to the Democratic (but not so) Republic of Congo.

The flight was interesting, to say the least. I flew with a little company called Trans Air Congo, and our flight was Douala, to Libreville, to Pointe Noire. So Technically I had visited 3 countries (Cameroon, Gabon, and Congo) in one day! There were no assigned seats, and because of this, chaos ensued. After a long, hot, stinky 4 hours of traveling I had finally made it to Congo!

I am getting pretty good at navigating African airports, and since Congo is a Francophone country, I was used to the language! I quickly navigated immigration and made it to the baggage claim to await my one tiny checked bag... While waiting an hour for my baggage I observed the most corrupt system of baggage delivery in all my life. They unloaded the plane and brought the luggage to a holding area (within view) and then they refused to put the luggage on the carousel. they just sat there and guarded the bags. At this time I began to notice people going up and speaking to the officials ( I believed them to be Customs Officials). So I snuck a little closer to see what these people where doing to get their bags... Being in Africa, this should not have came as a shock, but it turns out the passengers were paying the agents an "Express Fee" to get their baggage released. This enraged me, and I remained strong in my resolve to wait it out, I was not going to add to the lining of some fat cat's wallet!!!! Eventually all the luggage was loaded onto the carousel and I was able to collect my bag... This is an amazing example of corruption at its finest!

I have to say that on one hand Congo was nice because it has a huge nice western style super market, and a really nice beach front lined with nice (but extremely pricey) restaurants. 

The Beach in Pointe Noire

Locals Enjoying the Beach

The cleanest and nicest part of Pointe Noire is the Beaches. I hear that it is amazing to surf here, but I was there during the wrong season. The only source of entertainment was to go have a nice meal on the beach and enjoy the scenery.

We put our feet in the water when we were at the beach. 

Our Lunch View From a Chinese Restaurant on the Beach

We had a few meals at a restaurant called Twigga, which is Congolese slang for Giraffe. This restaurant is on the beach, and has a really nice beach resort feel to it.  Another of the restaurants claims to fame is that it is owned by the president's daughter.

They also had some of the most amazing seafood here! It is crazy but fresh lobster is cheaper than a steak. This is because all of the beef is imported, mostly from South Africa.

Our Lobster Dinners

We also had the chance to try some local beer! It is always fun trying new and different beers!

The rest of my time in Congo I spent relaxing and working on a few art projects. I tried my hand at painting, thanks to the supplies left for me by my friend Patty!

A Blossoming Tree I Painted

Once my paintings were completed I turned my attentions on to Origami. It is suppose to be relaxing, but it is actually quite frustrating, but I happily created a little army of origami items :)

My Collection of Origami

Over all I was highly disappointed with Pointe Noire. It was beyond filthy. Most of the roads are unpaved dusty red sand traps infested with hungry sand flies. There is no concept of waste removal, the garbage is just dumped full bags at a time on the road sides, and there was no respect for the natural beauty that surrounds them.

All of Pointe Noire is a Garbage Dump

And Most (Not All) of the Roads are Like This

I think that what will stick with me the most is the manner in which the wild animals were treated here. While there has been so much pressure on the government to protect endangered species here, you get the sense that the only reason most of the population does not contribute to the poaching trade is because if caught the prison sentences are so harsh, they choose not to get in trouble. They do not choose to save these animals out of a common respect for them, but rather the respect to keep their own self out of trouble. A blatant disrespect for other animals was visible on a daily basis. To see it all you need to do is go for a drive around Pointe Noire. I saw a person out of the blue walk up to a wild dog a just kick it for the enjoyment they got out of it, and on the same day less than 5 minutes later I saw a fully grown man kick a miniature stork looking bird so hard that he nearly broke its leg off. I was so distraught after this one car ride that I was ready to head to the airport and leave right then. I just cannot fathom the mindset of a populace that derives pleasure from injuring and maiming innocent creatures. I know that I cannot expect everyone to have the same love for all animals as I have, but I do expect every person to have enough respect as to not go out of their way to intentionally cause another living creature unnecessary harm.

So as you can see I am still angered by what I saw, and I think that overall this is tinting my view of Pointe Noire. There was nothing touristy or very interesting to do or see. Everything that I found on line had been long since closed down. The biggest attraction was to eat at extremely expensive restaurant on the beach, which is not an interesting way to get a feel for a country. I also got eaten alive by all the mosquito and sand flies. This should not be viewed as a complete reflection on Congo, but rather just  my observations on Pointe Noire.

Now that I am exhausted from my ranting, I think I shall sign off and start my day! Wishing you all a great day full of happy wanderings and wondering!

House Hunting and Renovation Douala Style

As most of you already know, (probably because of my endless complaining to you) we have been searching for a place to live in Douala, basically since we arrived. Let me just start by saying that every rental market is different. In Seattle prices are high, but there is a relative abundance of places for rent. Then in Den Helder, prices were not quite as high, but it took nearly 3 months to find a new place to rent. There was nearly no choices, so we had to take the first house that came available, and hope we beat everyone else to it! Then it was on to Douala. we spent 6 months searching for a house in the most corrupt market I have ever experienced. People demanding money to show us houses, people showing us houses that were already rented out, and the worst was people showing us houses that did not belong to them. This last one is a major issue in Douala. Locals have taken to writing on their houses that they are not for rent in bright paint, if the house is going to be vacant for more than a few weeks, to avoid being mixed up in these scams...

Well we are 6 months down the road, and through all the ups (few) and the downs (many) we finally managed to find a new place. All new places come with a few string attached. The issues with our new place was that it was basically neglected for 2+ years, and hadn't seen any improvements since the late 70's. I was so desperate, that I gave it a good hard look, and decided that if the owner agreed to pay for all of the improvements that would be required to make this our new home, we would go for it. After all, it was a good area of town, there was a small albeit overgrown garden, and there was even a pool, although it looked more like a swamp. 

Mikkel and I spent an entire rainy Sunday, making out our list of demands. We knew we had to be reasonable, and that we could not expect the aesthetic standards we were use to, so it took some negotiations to come to an acceptable understanding.

The improvements that we decided upon were that all of the flooring throughout the house need to be tiled, instead of just bare concrete. The original kitchen was the size of a broom closet, so they had to knock down a wall to make the kitchen larger, and then refit it with all new cabinets and fittings. Then they had to construct 2 new walls to create 3 separate bedrooms. Then since 2 of these new rooms shared a wall and were in need of access to a bathroom, we had them put in a jack -n- jill  bathroom. On top of all of these changes, it was also necessary to have every inch of the compound repainted, all of the wiring redone, and the plumbing gone through to make sure it was all in working order!

Having agreed on the terms, and the work to be done, we settled on a local contractor who spoke English for our benefit. We did a walkthrough of all the work to be completed, and the contractor gave me a deadline of 2-3 weeks! I was so excited I could hardly believe it! Although everyone else told me that timeline was bullshit, I decided not to listen to them because 2-3 weeks fit into my schedule perfectly!

How stupid could I have been??? Just to let you know, that now as I am writing this, we are in the midst of week 5, and the house is still not completed enough to be lived in.. I can say at this point the interior walls are constructed, the new windows and screens are in, and they have commenced construction of the new bedroom.  oh, and they have painted... why they painted before all the other work was completed is beyond my reasoning, but so was just about everything else they have done so far.

Below I will share with you some before and after photos up to this point. I must say that while it is taking a way longer than expected time to complete, it is really coming along nicely, and I think it will be a really nice home for us for the next 2+ years!

So this is the progress we had arrived at before my departure for Congo. I had to have many serious conversations with the contractor, who decided to go on vacation the week before I left, and tell him that the absolute drop dead date for completion was the 10th of September, and that he was not getting any more money, so he better find a way to get all the work completed with the budget he was given... I am afraid that if I get back to Douala, and the house is not completed, I will blow a gasket. This has really been one of the most stressful undertakings I have taken on in a long time, so I am going to take my time here in Congo to decompress, forget about my stress, try not to worry, and just hope for the best! Wish me luck!!!

So that is all I have for now! I hope that within the next week or two I will add a new post with my adventures in Pointe Noire, Congo! Until then I wish everyone happy wanderings and wonderings!

A wedding, a vacation, and the rainy season

Although I have been absent from my blog for longer then anticipated, the time I have spent away was very eventful! The last entry I left you with I wrote just a few hours before we departed for our vacation, and now, that is exactly where I will commence this entry!

First, a few new things I learned about traveling in and out of Douala. 1. You cannot check in for your flight online... very inconvenient. 2. If you do happen to make changes to your flight itinerary, it will take the gate agent 2.5 hours to get you checked in, so that you can at least make it to Paris, and hopefully the agents there can assist you further. 3rd and lastly, there is an EXIT FEE!!!! Yup, that is right, you have to pay the government the equivalent of 20 USD to leave Cameroon... WOW! Can't you tell we had an amazing start to our journey! I would also like to add one final note, 36 hours of flying is way too much for any human being to endure, next time we will break up our journeys better with rest days built in!

There was even a rainbow for the wedding!

Anyways, I will move on. After the longest and most miserable journey to date, we finally arrived in Hawaii! We were ready to have an amazingly relaxing time and enjoy Anna and Sig's wedding! It felt amazing being back in the states, and it felt even better being able to drive myself around! I really miss having that freedom! We had a really good time hanging out with friends and lounging by the pool, but Mikkel and I decided that Hawaii was not for us. ( This probably has something to do with living in a Tropical climate, so it was nothing new or special!)

Anna and her Dad walking down the aisle

The reason of the visit to Hawaii was to be Maid of Honor in my besties wedding! I was so honored to be included in the special day for Anna and Sig, and it turned out to be the most beautiful wedding ever! The wedding site at the Maui Sheraton was beautiful! We were standing on a cliff, over looking the crystal clear waters of the Pacific, so peaceful and so completely perfect! The ceremony was short, sweet, and to the point, with just enough quirkiness to make it unique! My favorite moment was when Anna was walking down the aisle with her father (Pictured Left), the song playing was the Beattles' "Here Comes the Sun" and it starts to mist, leaving us with a view of the most beautiful rainbow! (Pictured above!)

Mikkel and I 

After the ceremony, while the Happy Newly Weds took all of their photos, I took an opportunity to snag one of Mikkel and myself! And thankfully he was a really good sport about it! (Probably because we were headed to the bar next!)




           

The helicopter we rode in!

 Our time in Hawaii was short, but we did manage to get in a helicopter ride over the Island! It was probably the craziest and scariest ride of my life! The weather was rough and stormy, the clouds were low and so was the visibility, and the ride was so bumpy! I was trying to take photos of all the beauty in between hanging on for dear life, and the heavy cloud cover. I think I was a little successful :)

Our time in Hawaii had drawn to a close. We had to leave the resort, check out of the hotel, return our rented convertible, and head back to the dreaded Airport. We were headed back to Seattle, where we would spend the night at an airport hotel, grab breakfast with my parents in morning, and then take Mikkel back to the airport. He had to continue on back to Douala without me due to a visa issue I had. (Problem being my visa had expired.) I spent the next 3 weeks in Seattle waiting on the return of my passport with a new visa in it. Although I was missing Mikkel and my puppy, I was also enjoying the time I got to spend with my friends and family! ( Not to mention all of the shopping that i got to do!) but after a difficult and much delayed visa process I had my passport in hand and I was heading back home! I am amazed at how quickly Douala has become my home, and I really missed it and could not wait to get back to my life here!


When I left Douala a month earlier we were just about to enter into the rainy season.When I returned we were most definitely in the rainy season! Being from Seattle, the city of perpetual rain, I thought it would be no big deal, but once I experienced my first week of non-stop heavy warm rain, I was truly amazed! It was torrential raining on a large scale, and it was still 80F outside! check out this little (and shaky sorry) video I shot! Listen to how much noise the rain is making!

I am told that closer to August the rain will be even heavier yet and last for days on ends... I am quite looking forward to seeing it, and seeing if I survive with my sanity intact!


With that being said, it is time for my say bid you fair well! I am going to get ready to have some friends over for baking and gossip! Take care everyone, and until next time, happy wanderings and wonderings!

Cameroonian Labor Day - May Day

I know I said I would be better at updating everyone, and I do have the best intentions of doing so, but it seems to me that lately something better always comes along :) With that being said I made a promise to myself that I would blog about the Labor Day party before I left for vacation... Guess what, I leave in 5 hours... I am the master of procrastination.

The story of the Labor Day party commences 2 weeks before the actual event. It was late on a Friday night, my friend Chloe and I had consumed quite a few beers, and well we somehow managed to volunteer ourselves to put together a party for 200 people in under 2 weeks... Lets just say we woke up Saturday morning wondering what we had got our selves into.

The next 2 weeks were the busiest weeks I have had for quite some time now! We had the location we needed to secure, caterers to interview, menus to decide, beverages needed to be sourced, cloth needed to be distributed, presents for all the children needed to be purchased and assembled, we hired a children's entertainment company to come out with toys and games, etc, etc, etc...

It is a tradition that all the employees and their families get to attend the party. It is also tradition that Tidewater gives them enough fabric (Tidewater themed of course) and everyone has outfits made! Let me just tell you that 200+ people all dressed in the same fabric is quite snazzy looking :) At the beginning of the party we got everyone together and took a group photo. We look great!

Chloe and I had worked so hard in the limited amount of time we had to make sure that our party was a success. We reserved a beach in Limbe to host the party, we arranged for transportation of everything and everyone to the beach, and on the morning of, all we could do was cross our fingers and hope that all went according to plan!

It is the managements idea that if the families of the workers are happy, then the workers themselves will be happy. With that in mind we thought what better way to make the families happy, then to cater this party as much as possible to the Children! So we set up a carnival type area for the kids:

We had Face Painting.

We had a Giant Bouncy Castle.

We had Group Games.

Most important of all, we had a table full of candies, cookies, and other yummy goodies.

Even the Adults decided to get in on playing games!

The only part of our party that did not go according to plan was the catering. First they showed up an hour and a half late. (That is even late according to Cameroonian time!) The other problem was that we just barely had enough food... Luckily the food was really good, and we had just enough to feed everyone!

After Lunch it was time to swim and play in the ocean! The funny thing is that most of the Cameroonians cannot swim, so we brought along some life jackets to make them feel more comfortable!

All in all, the Labor Day party planned by Chloe and I was a big success! It was stressful for us, but at the end of the day it was nice seeing how many people we made happy. As for next year, I think that with a longer time to prepare, we can have an even more successful party :)

As for me, I must sign off now! I have to finish packing and get ready to head for the airport! Hope you enjoy the post, and until next time, Happy Wanderings and Wonderings!

First month in Cameroon

Well I am not quite sure were to start. It has only been a little over a month since I arrived here in Douala, and so much has happened in that little span of time!

Arriving into Douala was unlike anything I ever could have imagined, To fly out of Amsterdam Schipol in the morning and to land in Douala in the evening I felt like I had completely left civilization behind. I have never been to any where that was remotely considered third world, and landing at an airport that is a concrete building, with no window panes, rude flickering light, no AC, and a million corrupt customs agents all wanting your money, was probably one of the rudest shocks to my ideology I have ever had!

My first Impressions of Douala were that it is UGLY!!!! Here again I can blame my western ways for making me think that all major metropolises should be aesthetically pleasing. Douala is crazy. The roads a crappy, they look as if a major meteor strike had obliterated 80% off all the roads in town. There are pot holes that could swallow an entire Hummer! I would say that most of the town is covered in shanty homes and small kiosk type businesses. Most of them built of that corrugated plastic in lovely shades of blue and green. You really start to feel as if you have left modern conveniences behind.

Once you become accustomed to the dilapidated state of Douala, you start to find  a little bit of beauty in all the ugliness. For example, all of the fruit and vegetables that grow here! My neighbor has a mango try, and on the road outside of my house there is an avocado tree, a banana tree, and a papaya tree! I am in fruit and veg heaven :)

Neighbors Mango Tree

There is also an amazing array of Flora and Fauna

Flower from my patio

On top of all of the green vegetation, there are a million little lizards roaming the streets! They are so super cute! I have tried to catch one but they are fast little suckers, and amazing jumpers! I have seen one jump from one rooftop to another!

My lizard, he lives on my fence

So that is what it is like in Douala... Life is crazy and hectic, there is always something to do. After looking past the ugliness, this city becomes quite charming and actually starts to grow on you!

 Beach in Limbe

On a last side note before I leave you... We did manage to escape the city one Sunday and venture out to the Beach at the base of Mt. Cameroon. This is Limbe, it is a volcanic black sand beach, and I love it!

Next time when I have more time to actually sit down and write, I will tell you all more! Until then Happy wanderings and wonderings to you all!

Goodbye Holland, Hello Cameroon

Although it is always sad to say goodbye, this time our sad goodbyes made way to very happy hellos!

The time I spent in Holland was amazing, I had so many adventures with Holland as my "base camp." Most of those adventures I have already shared with you, but there are quite a few that I have never gotten around to sharing with you. ( In other words I had a motivation issue!)

I had all the best intentions of keeping this blog up to date and sharing my stories with everyone, but you know about intentions... So here I go again, and I am aiming to be more successful with my newest of adventures, Africa!!!

Before I get to far ahead of my self, I had some amazing adventures in the last half of my time in Holland, and I think I need to share them, and give those who shared them with me a little credit!

The first of my missed adventures was a visit from one of my best friends, Jamie. Jamie is brave, adventuresome, and easy going... So we had a great time! I got to show Jamie all around Paris, we stayed in a new neighborhood for me, and we ate some amazing food! Then I got to explore Amsterdam for the very first time with Jamie. I will never forget walking down the worlds skinniest corridor in the "red light" district and after getting to the end, how uncontrollably we giggled as we squeezed through all the other "Lookie Loo's". I am sure Jamie and I will have many more adventures together in the future!

Jamie in crazy corridor

After Jamie's visit, Mikkel, myself, his Sister, and Mom, all went on a short holiday together, to the Champagne region of France, for Mikkel's birthday. We stayed in a cute little cabin, over looking a lake, and really close to a pretty medieval village. The first half of our trip was amazing, we had great food, lots of cake, and even Champagne! The trip had to be cut short do to me catching the Flu... Can you imagine, the flu in the middle of June... It sucked, but at least we made it past the birthday boy's special day, before we left! 

Mikkel's Birthday Cake

My next trip was a trip back home! You don't know how great home is until you move away! Mikkel and I had a great time being back in Seattle. We had an added bonus this trip of having both my Brother Ben and my Grandfather being in town at the same time! As well as getting to spend time with my family, we also got to spend time with our friends, drink lots and lots of great coffee, go on a few road trips, see some amazing places, stay at some amazing places, and do some good shopping! Lastly I got the pleasure of taking Mikkel to his first Seahawk's game! We had such an amazing time at the game, and we cannot wait until we get to go to another!

Family Photo in the  Hoh River Rainforest

After our trip to Seattle, we came back to Holland, moved into a new place, and then Mikkel had to leave town for business for 3 weeks... Those were some very long weeks, but I did get to go and visit him after the first 2 weeks, for a long weekend!  Luckily he was staying in a town in France I had never visited before. Fountainbleau is not the most direct of places to visit, one plane, three trains, and a taxi to get there, but once there you forget about the journey there, you can really enjoy the beauty you are surrounded by. I had lovely weather, the Chateau Foutainbleau, and the national forest to explore. It was a great mini break, and a recommend for anyone wanting a nice side trip outside of Paris!

Chateau Fountainbleau

My following adventure included a visit from my Aunt Vickie! My Aunt Vic was touring around in Belgium with her friend, and decided to extend her tour to get in a visit with me! We began our visit in Paris, and I walked my Aunt all over Paris! I had the biggest blisters on my feet... Ouch! The following day, we went to Versailles, I had never had the pleasure to see it before, so it was a great to see something new! After Paris I had my Aunt in Holland with me. We saw Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Schagen, and Den Helder. We also spent a lot of time playing with our new puppy, Lulu!

Chateau Versailles

Speaking of Lulu, I haven't had the opportunity to properly introduce her to you. Mikkel and myself had been looking into adopting a puppy for quite a long time. We finally decided on a breed, French Bulldog, and then were lucky enough to find a really great breeder. Lulu was born on Sept. 24th from a litter of 8 puppies. She was able to come home with us the week before Thanksgiving, and she has quickly stolen our hearts! She is our monkey-bat-pig-dog, and the biggest princess in the world!

Lulu the Pillow Princess

Not long after Lulu's arrival we headed to Denmark for Christmas! I have always enjoyed all of our road trips to Denmark, and Lulu was such a champ, 10 hours in the car and she slept for 9.5 of them! We all had such a lovely Christmas, Especially Lulu. She was a spoiled rotten little girl, who always had someone to pay attention to her. We enjoyed a few Christmas parties, meeting up with friends, great dinners made by Mikkel's Mom, a Christmas Cabaret, Tivoli alight with Christmas decor, and an overall amazing Christmas!

Tivoli at Christmas

On top of making all of out preparations, we also had a string of visitors coming to say good bye. Mikkel's Dad came to visit for a week. Then the following week we had our friends and their family come to visit, and lastly Mikkel's Mom came for a visit, and made us our last Danish dinner for a while! It was really nice having all of these visitors, and Lulu really appreciated Louise and Torbin bringing their kids Freda and Lauge! She thought they were the coolest toys ever. On top of all of these visits, Holland also got a good snow, and then slipped into a deep freeze! It was lovely to see, but no one should ever have to experience -18 Celsius...

Freda and Lulu playing in the Snow

Our final weeks in Holland were so busy that they flew by in such a blur. We had to say goodbye to all of our friends, and we had a lovely party put together by Mikkel's colleague Monita! I also had some very fun outings with Jan and Miek. I got to visit a water fowl breeding farm, and also a tulip farm, as well as saying goodbye to all of my farm friends. My farm friends got me a Frieisan horse pendant necklace to remember them by, it is lovely and I will remember them always!

Mandarin Ducks at the water fowl farm

We have had an amazing time living in Holland, and we miss all of the friends we have made, but so far we absolutely love it here in Cameroon! Just wish we could have brought all of you with us! I have lofty plans to try to regularly maintain my blog, don't hold me to it, but I will promise to do the best I can! I look forward to sharing all of my new adventures with you all! Until then, happy wanderings and wonderings to you all!

Queen's Day 2011 and a new pony

     Hi Again! I must be on a roll, because this is my second post this week!!!! This is also a tab bit late, but better late then never!

     First off, lets get to the cutest thing ever... A new baby Friesian horse! While away on vacation, Gerjanneke gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. His name is Jorick, and I got the joy of meeting him when he was only 3 days old. He is the cutest thing I have ever seen, and I feel so lucky to be able to spend time with him and watch him grow, every week!

     So, now onto Queen's Day. From my limited knowledge of this holiday, it is a day to celebrate the Queen.... ( Duh, stated in the name...) So, how does one spend Queens Day? Well according to my friends, you must wear orange, gather with friends, and drink copious amounts of alcohol! We had the ingenious idea that all of us should get together in Amsterdam, and off we headed.

     I also  should take a moment here to mention that I had my baby brother (19yrs old) visiting, and we decided he should come along with us! I was some what of a mean big sister, and I allowed him to get completely inebriated, and then laughed at how silly he was. He was great entertainment, and he now has a memorable experience! Plus according to him, he had a great time!

     We had a fantastic day. There was people every where and all were in orange.  Every street was lined with tents and booths, there were beer gardens every where, and so many music stages that I could not even begin to count them all. It was nice, and although chaotic, everyone we came across was very pleasant!

     I know that this post is short, but I am running low on time. Instead of blogging this earlier, I went wake boarding with our friend Mark instead. It was really fun, and a new experience for me. I have never tried to wake board with a cable system, only ever behind a boat. Let me just say, it is not any easier, only difficult in different ways. I am now exhausted!

     I will not be posting for at least the next 2 weeks because my friend Jamie is coming to visit me! I am so excited for her to arrive, she will be here in less then 2 days! We are going to do and see so many things! I will of course blog them, so keep tuned in!

Until later, Happy wanderings and wonderings to all!
