Glad to be back

My trip to Kekem, and then Jumbe in the Mongo Division was nothing short of an rated R-movie. I left Yaounde on the 2nd of January at 7am and reached Kekem at 3:30pm where I left my niece. I left Kekem 30 minutes later and reached Jumbe only 2 hours 30 minutes later because I took a terrible bus...Luckily for me, my brother had arranged my stuff and started transporting them to the road before I arrived, so I reached and just said hello to a few friends and was again on the road. Though it was difficult for me to get a car for Bafang from where I would get a transit bus to Yaounde, I finally got one at about 8:30pm. Leaving Jumbe at this time and hoping to catch an 11pm bus at Bafang was risky because it was the end of the holiday and consequently so many people would be traveling. Secondly, I had a very big cupboard and food and few drivers would be willing to take me...to spare you the prosaic details, my cupboard and food was transported to Yaounde on a different bus and I followed later at midnight on another. I may not be great at narrating dramatic events, but the journey was quite eventful...still feeling so tired
