Day 49: Monday 1st December 2008

Today we take a trip to visit Awing; the home village of both the Mayor of Santa and Vincent, Tom's friend, and the Mayor's driver, who has arranged to drive us there to visit the Fon (local traditional chief) in his palace, and also to visit Lake Awing, one of the larger of the volcanic lakes in the North-West Province.

The Fon has been called to the capital Yaounde, but we are shown around the palace, greeted with palm wine and introduced to some of the other residents. Lake Awing is spectacular, and the day is a pleasant break from report-writing and attending meetings!
