Republic of Congo July5-9

---

Crossing into Congo we did not know what to expect. This unknown and rarely visited place has been racked by violent civil war until recently although still is unstable.We arrived in brazzaville after 3 days of bushcamping again through bad roads and little to see or buy. We entered from the north and travelled the length of the country.As usual we bush camped and in Brazza at a mission this time Catholic and spent a couple of days here-quite nice really although you have to be careful.There are a few Lebonese restaurants here and some interesting watering holes including "Luna Park"
We headed to the port to cross the Congo river and enter another basket case- DRC
