Visiting Douala Cameroon One More Time

From Libreville we move on to Douala, but not without the challenges of African travel.  Upon our 7:00 pm arrival at the airport in Libreville, we were told that the ticket contained the wrong time and the plane wouldn't leave until midnight.  So, it was a long evening in the Libreville airport. In addition to the wrong time on the ticket, the plane was over an hour late leaving.  Six hours in an African airport is a long, long time!  We finally arrived in Douala at 3am.  We decided to go to a hotel because the original flight was still rather late for the couple to come and get us. It was a good thing that we'd planned a night in a hotel. We took the shuttle to the Bano Palace and collapsed into bed where we got three quick hours of rest before heading out to our last Douala Zone Conference.  It was worth all the effort as we met with these wonderful, mostly North American missionaries and the Gaileys. We had a great conference, many laughs, a few tears and a fun finale at a restaurant.
