Our last day in Bambui was an interesting one. It started with a trip to Bamenda to visit farther Victor for a small breakfast, then onto the town to get some cash and another suitcase because I have somehow managed to gather twice the amount of stuff as when I got here.

Friday was also the leaving celebration at the palace and I have to say I was a little disappointed. It was great to say goodbye to the Fon as he has always been very nice and supportive, I also did get another snazzy traditional dress but it was badly organised and not many people showed up.

However by this point I was panicking about my packing so a short goodbye was quite a welcome change from the usual long ceremonies. Also we got to give the Fon his gift of whisky and a british flag which he immediately hung up, which made me smile. He also told me and Chris that we are now a daughter and son of Bambui and this is now our second home.
