Well praise God our two interns made it safe and sound to Bamenda. And in the nick of time too, a couple of days after they got here the road to Bamenda (about 30 minutes out) got washed out and is impassable (we’ve been having some serious rain to say the least). So now you can only get in and out of Bamenda via a bush road that is more like a path and you have to have 4 wheel drive to do so. So because of that no fuel trucks have been able to get into town, all the gas stations have shut down. You can still buy gas on the side of the road but it is now over $14 a gallon!! So needless to say we’re not driving much or taking taxis as prices have doubled. The road should (key work) be fixed by the weekend. So till then we’re just sitting tight :0).
There has also been a landslide at the top of the hill that leads into Bamenda, it covered two roads, knocked a few houses down and even killed a few people. One of our good friend’s house got completely flooded on the same day due to all the rain. Never a dull moment!
