And then we are in Cameroon. Which was occupied by Germany in the colonial times. And we remember some German football coaches in the more recent times.

Similar to Nigeria, the north-east of Cameroon is not accessible due to Boko Haram attacks. The extreme northwest as well as the southwest are risk areas because of the conflict between Francophiles and Anglophiles. It's strange for us Europeans when we have to think about where we're actually allowed to travel.

We travel towards the coast, but unfortunately Mount Cameron at 4,095 m is covered in rain clouds. We didn't want to climb it anyway, we're not fit enough to do that at the moment, but unfortunately our stay on the coast ended up being in rain. In Tsaben Beach, north of Douala, people are really sad that we are leaving again after a night of rain – tourism here has collapsed completely in the last six years due to the armed conflicts and many people are now living hand to mouth.

Due to the weather, our days in Cameroon are somewhat uneventful.

If you could travel everywhere without any worries, the country would be worth another visit. The landscape is great and the national colors of the flag correspond to the colors we perceive: green like forest and jungle, red like the clay and yellow like the sun (when it shines).

The traffic in Yaounde is a little crazier than anywhere else. Taxis push past you left and right completely recklessly. And the fact that the city center is completely closed because of International Women's Day doesn't make things any better. Somehow we're a little tired of the chaos.

But we take a short detour and visit a sanctuary on the way to the next border. Neither of us can remember ever having seen gorillas – really impressive animals. Even if they live in large enclosures.
