We have a very short stay at Seme
- we head out this morning towards Korup National Park. Lars gets up
to see the sunrise from the beach - it is a black sand beach formed from the
lava from Mount Cameroon. He hangs out by the beach for a while and
then heads back to help Jacqui back up the sleep stuff.

After breakfast, we pack up the
truck and drive into Limbe, the nearby town. We get into town at 10:30
AM and as it is now our turn to cook, we need to do our shopping. We
head off to the local market - and it is quite good. Lars goes and
gets the meat and Jacqui and Jon the rest. They have some very good
meat, which they chop up into small pieces. We then find someone to
grind it up for us - it used an old machine which tore it more than it
ground it, but it did the job.

After shopping, we head back to
the truck, drop off the shopping and then find a place for lunch. We
go to a restaurant which has tables over looking the ocean. It has a
great breeze and views and we enjoy a few cool drinks and some grilled fish
and chips. After lunch, shortly after 1 PM, we head on our way to
Korup National Park. We drive for the whole afternoon. After a
while, the road turns to dirt and we start to drive through a massive palm
oil plantation. At 5:30 PM, we pull off the road, back down a track
leading into the plantation and set up a bush camp in amongst the palm oil
trees.

We prepare dinner tonight - spaghetti
bolognaise, salad, and garlic bread with pineapple for dessert. It is
quite good, except we over cook the pasta a bit. After cleaning up the
dishes and putting everything away, we get ready for bed.

During the night, at times we
think that it is raining. What we discover in the morning, however, is
that there has been very heavy dew and the moisture would gather on the palm
leaves and then fall in large drops.
