An Ode to Congo and Her Country

Starting in Brazzaville over looking Kinshasa

We set off on an adventure with some friends

We chased a storm on a bus

And got dizzy watching trees pass by

Smeared foliage

Beautiful roads

Wondrous colours in the plateaux area

4 hours later

We saw ‘The Priests Hat’

And after a few toliet stops

We reached Oyo

Had a tour around the town

Greeted some locals

Went to school

Watched kids egger to learn

Some more than others

Then we took to the hills

Congo’s beautiful Lefini Park

Rolling hills

Shy and mysterious wildlife

a few lone trees

Ally’s reading spot

Ruben trying to capture lightning

A few Luxuaries

An intense Elephant treck

We waited and watched

With sadly no sightings

Neither did the ceiling of stars

or the evening chats and food
