New Year's at the beach

Over the New Year holiday, we relaxed at a small resort in Kribi. Do a search for Tara Plage and you will see the beachfront rooms. Very nice!

 

Earlier in the day on New Year's Eve, I saw a family of small stature, who didn't really seem to fit in with anyone. When night fell, we were drawn to rythmic drumming and singing which sounded a lot like native Canadian traditional singing. Turns out the hotel brought in a busload of Pygmies to entertain us for New Year's Eve. We recorded some of the music, but it was neat to see the dancers performing under the palm trees.

 

Right now we are travelling in the north. It's been trying to use the intercity transit system, because at the best of times this would be a 28 hour trip (bus, train, bus). Of course, this is Africa, so nothing is on schedule. Tomorrow morning we are facing a 9 hour bus ride. Part of the adventure, right? Yes, at this point our trip is more adventure than honeymoon. But always interesting.
