Finished our morning's training session
& set off to pick up a sandwich for lunch. Walked out of the hotel to
find two large bulldozers in the street, surrounded by a crowd including heavily
armed riot police. Turned out they were demolishing a series of buildings
along the road edege, presumably as they were slum properties. The
attached photo shows where the bar and fish stall were where we ate on Monday
night!
This is our last night in Yaounde:
tomorrow we head for Maroua.
