I'm in Basankusu! I actually arrived last Friday. The aircraft was an old LET 410. It flew during almost 4hours over the equatorial forest to Basankusu. The view from there was amazing,I 've never seen so much deep and dense forest in my life. No road,...
Everybody is pretty sure I will go tomorrow!!!! The plane seems to be filled up (I hope not too much!) so tomorrow 5.30am I will be again at the airport. And around 11h after having flown over the equatorial forest, I'll be in Basankusu. I have so much...

Still in Kinshasa... Time seems very long when you have not so much to do... I registered in the French Ambassy so if there is a conflict in the middle of the forest I'm safe! We went today to the "Mairie" (dont remenber in English) to get signature of...
So since Saturday I am in Kinshasa after 17h of flight with stop in Addid Abeba and Brazavile; By the way, Brazaville - Kinshasa was the shortest flight I never had in my live 10min in Boing 767!!! Kinshasa is just crazy, so much poverty everywhere. I...
