Douala is at the moment the only african air gateway to the Central African Republic. I decided to take my chance and what is going there… It was early Easter morning when I boarded Camair plane in Douala airport. 10000 departure tax in cash. Very few passengers. After 1.5 h flight over the green, lush jungle we landed in Bangui. Immigration officer asked me: your reason of journey?
TOURISM???? No tourists in Bangui since long time…
Bad time to come: two weeks ago there were elections. No results so far. Unrest possible…
White expat took me to the city and I attended the Easter mass in the cathedral – full of people but only few whites – interesting ceremony and nice songs…
I am in the CAR – such a strange place! How to survive?
