We spent a busy weekend packing and moving from our one bedroom apartment to a larger upstairs apartment vacated by one of our colleagues. The move was scheduled to happen in July but because of the medical evacuation of the former resident the date was moved forward. Our co-worker is receiving medical treatment in the US and will stay there for at least a year. The first challenge was to pack their belongings and store them. The second was to move our stuff out of storage and from the one bedroom apartment into the new location.Don’t ask how many trips I made up and down the stairs.
I wished to post a photo of our new view towards the port of Pointe Noire. Technical problems make posting photos a challenge. I will try to post the photo soon. We get a nice breeze here and are not dependent on air conditioning like we were in the other apartment.
Looking to the SW we can see the port of Pointe Noire. The port is lit up every night while other parts of the city are dark. The ships line up and wait to be unloaded or loaded. There is a stream that flows into the bay not far from our apartment. There are interesting birds to be seen. A crested hoopoe visits our yard and speckled mousebirds rob our ripe papayas.
