| Libreville, Gabon |
My domicile here in Libreville is called Maison Liebermann. Behind that
is the organization of Christian women, however, they also offer rooms
to tourists. So far, in these places of the church I was never
questioned about my religion, but as my parents gave me two names
(Andrea Maria), maybe this comes in convenient for those Christian
places and stops them from asking the obvious…. The first afternoon in
Libreville I spent with the attempt to withdraw money out of one of all
these ATMs in town – just to come back to the normal procedure changing
cash with a Lebanese around the corner, after the ATM has eaten twice my
Visa card. It is not exactly a pleasant to see the Visacard entering
the machine, but not coming out again! Now, I know, all this happened,
because my bank issued a new card against all promises during my
travels, which is now very safe back home in Germany – the old one was
invalid then. It is quite astonishing, as exactly the same thing
happened on my last Africatrip in 2002, just with another bank…..
