m goodies. And, get this, we’re literally five minutes from the final destination in Bamenda and they pull into a gas station and fill up on gas... while we’re all still waiting “patiently” on the bus.

Travel Day
What a day! We were up early and packed and ready to go by 8:00am... slowly got organized (it’s important to start getting practice in waiting patiently...) and went to the bus station. We waited around for a little and just as we were getting on to the bus, they said they had given our seats away. Because we were late??? So, we had to wait for the next smelly 70-seater bus to fill up, until noon! Haha... I figured it was too smooth to be true.... just wandered around, bought some fresh, juicy pineapple and chatted with the locals. We finally left and it was a long, bumpy ride through the hills (and even a rainstorm with hail!)... only one rest stop and many random drops along the way. People outside the bus, would shove their goods in the windows, trying to sell coconuts, goat meat, cassava, pineapple, peanuts, and other rando
