A beter future for her is now closer at hand

Looking forward to placing more positive news like this one.

Exciting- the visitor's visas have been approved

After a wee hick-up our visas have arrived.

It was a wee bit more complicated than we thought.

Our traveling companion Gonnie- spent quite some time and used her tact, contacts, experience and knowledge to secure our visas for Cameroon.

Unbeknown to us we needed more documents that first thought. The formal invitation wasn't enough.

After listing the appropriate items and with the co-operation from our principal in Bamenda, the police ( yes we needed their approval too) things finally came together.

Even though we haven't cut corners, or shortcut the system - it was very handy that Gonnie is known at the Embassy and that certainly helped when it came to exchange of passports etc.

All in all - succes guaranteed and we can seriously start packing our bags.

Cameroon - here we come!
