Kumbo


My second workshop was in Kumbo, up in the hills, 3 hours drive from Bamenda on terrible dusty roads. To get there we had to get a car from the “car park” on the outskirts of the City. There are areas set up for each destination and it’s like a taxi system; you have to take the next car going to your city. The cars are mostly 2 door Toyotas. They sell seats to Kumbo at 2,500 francs ($5) and when the car is full, they leave. Full means the driver plus 8 passengers – 3 in the front and 5 in the back. We had to buy 6 seats between two of us so that we could be reasonably. The country side is beautiful; but I didn’t get very many good shots, as we had to keep the windows rolled up to keep the dust out.
