Launch spot for trip to Point Denis but not much of a real possibility on a weekday. Had to wake staff up just to find out the next boat leaves in 2hrs and that it would be impossible to return today.

Liberville Night Walk
28 mai 2019, Gabon ⋅ 🌧 82 °F
Perfect time for a walk with a nice sea breeze blowing on shore. Not many locals out and about maybe because they know there are a lot of sidewalk potholes.

Not sure what it is but seems like some dedication to the arts or theater. Those do look like comfortable shoes.. You can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they're wearing.

Interesting Monument
28 mai 2019, Gabon ⋅ 🌧 82 °F
Located across street from Presidential Palace. Seems to be memorial to the end of slavery with an interesting concept. Did get chased away by Presidential security yelling from across the street. Shortly afterwards a military patrol unit just.. "happened" to drive by as I was leaving.En savoir plus

Liberville Day Trip
29 mai 2019, Gabon ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
With little to see and do in Liberville and being unable to rent a car on my own, I hire a car and a driver for the day. The plan is to go to Akanda National Park which is only 13 miles away. Interestingly, no one I have talked to since arriving knows how to get there.En savoir plus

Grace's Home
29 mai 2019, Gabon ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Ended up here in effort to go to Akanda National Park. Grace runs Monday Ecotour with tours to Akanda. However, she requires at least a day's notice. This was apparently not communicated to her by the company where I hired the car and driver from yesterday. In any event it is an expensive outing where somehow my desire got lost in translation.

In the end I got to visit inside a Gabon home of an apparently connected family. Gracie's mom is President of The Local Chamber of Commerce who has met Pope Paul and many local heavyweights. Her deceased father was a game hunter and their home still displays some of his hunting trophies.En savoir plus

Off Roading
29 mai 2019, Gabon ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
With Akanda plan axed, Grace suggested a visit to a nearby village followed by a trip to a beach not too far from the village. It wasn't long before our car was going for a swim and the village visit axed. The gravel road soon became a mud crater that was way beyond the Kia's capability to navigate.En savoir plus

A treasure find that I spotted on our way to the beach. Free to enter with miles of nice hiking trails in a tropical rain forest. However, paying for a guide made the experience more educational and fun.En savoir plus

The Ozigo tree is known as "The Elephant Pub" because elephants become drunk from eating it's bark. Smoking it's leaves produces the same effect as ganja (MJ).

Interesting to see at first but not all that unusual as this is a coastal rainforest. We're only about 10km from the ocean.

This plant is endemic to Gabon. So recently discovered it has not yet been given a scientific name. There is a lot of hope that it will someday produce a cure for one of our many diseases.
