Today started with Becky and I braving showering the village way, a kettle of cold water poured over you outside. Was surprisingly fun and really refreshing!

We spent today in Ekabita-Tom. This morning we met the ladies from the co-operative. Truly inspirational strong women who have done a huge amount for their community. The women presented to us some of the products they have made including soap, cocoa butter and chilli sauces all from local materials. We enjoyed another Cameroon “glass of water” and a whisky!

This afternoon we visited the plantations in the village. Firstly we enjoyed a walk in the sunshine to the Cassava plantation accompanied by some of the local women from the co-operative. We then visited an onion plantation which is being trialled to produce a special type of onion which can be grown in both the wet and dry season. Whilst we visited the plantations we also saw some interesting wildlife in the form of exotic grasshoppers. It was really lovely to walk around the village and meet the locals we were made to feel really welcome.

This evening we returned to Yaoundé and enjoyed some Cameroon street food Beignet Haricot Bouillie (BHB). Essentially mini doughballs, beans and a lemongrass custard/ soup. It was delicious.
