Pointe Noire |

The asphalt is not bad and it is quite flat or down. The road is narrow and as you approach Pointe Noir is quite busy with lorries and local taxis. |

Bondi |
47 |
Leaving town was busy. I took a road that went through a big market area – great but chaotic. The further away you get from town the quieter the road gets. Undulating on good tarmac |

More undulations. Beautiful road in the forest in quite a lot of the sections |

The brand new rod continues with more up and downs. The forest surrounding the road is pretty wonderful |
Mvouti |

10 km of climbing from Mvouti. Then up and down. Good road |

The first 25 Km of gravel road are OK and with a downward tendency. Then it gets worse with some rideable sandy parts. Huge lorries carrying enormous trees cover you in dust. |

The quality of the road same as yesterday and the lorries still giving dust showers until Pont du Niari from where the road gets better and I only saw a couple of lorries. |
