No sight of a border post
(November, 26)ROAD TO LUOZI
Driving somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the roads improved in comparison with the Brazzaville side, but still no satellite signal. I also wonder where the border post is for our Passport, Visa and 'Carnet-de-Passage' control. We are heading to Luozi, close to the mighty Congo River, and hope for an operating ferry crossing. Transport by road across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has always been difficult. The terrain and climate in the entire Congo Basin present serious barriers to roads, and the distances are enormous across this vast country. DRC has faces a tragic and tumultuous history; today chronic economic suffering and internal conflicts has led to serious obstacle. I must say, I have high respect for the lovely people of DRC, who did not lost their hospitality. With their friendliness, they make me feel very welcome.
I trust 'les douaniers' of DRC are friendly as well....
