First Trip to Equatorial Guinea
September 12th, 2006 by James
I’m just back from my first trip to Equatorial Guinea - and my first trip to Africa for that matter. I visited E.G. for 10 days doing a site visit for my company. We visited sites all over the coast and offshore, but not up in the mountainous interior. E.G. is just south of Cameroon, in West Africa, and is a small country with only 700,000 people. It’s beautiful there, and the people are pretty friendly. Unfortunately, it’s not really a tourist spot, as photography is prohibited by the government, but I did manage to get a few snaps while I was there. Here’s a panorama of the city port at Malabo, with a tug escorting a cargo ship out of harbor.
Malabo is on the island of Bioko, where it rains just about every day. The island is famous for its beautiful waterfalls, and 7000′ volcanic peak.
The jungle is a thick canopy running all the way to the rocky volcanic shore, but pierced here and there by massive Ceiba trees.
