Why does Andrew looked so surprised and pleased? Well he has just walked out of our cabin on the pretence of going out to dinner with me but unbeknown to him I had been sneakily planning a surprise 40th birthday party for him to celebrate his birthday in August (ok people, I know I am behind-ok). It's not everyday an Aussie turns 40 in the Congo! |
 |
We have a small alcove just round the corner of our cabin where everyone hid and when Andrew walked up, a loud chorus of "Surprise" greeted him, followed by a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday". Needless to say Andrew was pretty taken aback. It was priceless! |
 |
We all piled into a couple of cars and headed for a local hotel called Twiga. Bearing in mind we had only been in the country for about ten days, we had little idea of what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by a lovely hotel with a restaurant on the beach front were we dined to the sound of the waves crashing. |

A Congolese version of a mixed grill. I was very pleased that it included a lamb chop-oh joy! |

The currency has a little more value than in Guinea but it still cost the big notes-lol! |
 |
Andrew's actual birthday was celebrated with gifts in the cabin, brownies baked lovingly by yours truly and a hamburger and fries with me and Jess at a local place. |
 |
Happy 40th birthday Andy. May you always remember this one! |
