It struck me last night just how perfect the temperature has been the last week or so. It's always shorts and T shirt weather, with the occasional sunny spell allowing me to top up a little on the tan. The humidity has been pretty manageable with the precipitation more in the form of cooling mist and fog, with a heavy downpour occurring every now and again. Things naturally cool in the evening as it gets dark (about 6pm) and the sheet and blanket offers perfect protection from the ever so slight chill in the air. All I need now is a bow and arrow for the local church bell toller to ensure ideal sleeping conditions.
I can feel a change in the atmospheric conditions a comin' though, and the monsoon winds of the wet seasons are beginning to be chased away by the hotter Harmattan winds of the dry season.
Dorothy, the german lady who was staying previously returns to us, after her three day hike up and down the mountain. She's delighted to have done it and delighted to be back. It's very interesting seeing her photos and listening to her experiences. She was fortunate with the weather and got some great snaps. The wooden sign at the summit is one of my facebook profiles shots, and I'm looking forward to seeing it again. Dorothy is engaged to a Cameroonian, and C will take her to his village tomorrow. My new German friend is great company, and we have quite a laugh, but she refuses to belief that myself and Thomas Palmer did the walk in two days when I stayed here last: "Impossible!".
