D15 - A day we'll never get back
| ||
A day in hell.
When I woke up, I learn one good news: the wheel was repaired towards midnight and they were able to leave. But at once, Laurent continue with bad news : that again broke 500m farther. But this time, impossible to repair without another piece. Wen and the mechanic thus slept in bush. Thibault left for taxi to bring the piece this morning, with a slender hope to get back the car to leave in the afternoon to Mouila.
At around midday, the verdict falls : impossible to repair correctly the car. We thus have no more choice and have to take a decision quickly.
We leave Wen and the vehicle here, and we return to Mouila in public transport. We do not have enough money to hold any more one day furthermore at Tchibanga (and impossible to have money in the city). We leave for collective minibus at about 2 pm, for approximately 4 hours of road. A passenger will have the good idea to be sick, and will vomit in the car, just in front of me. The route becomes suddenly... Length !
Once well arrived at Mouila, and having been able to remove money, the tension falls again a little. It is the wasted end of journey, but we have to make with.
Tomorrow, last route in the direction of Libreville, very certainly in the same way. What surprises will we have this time ?
