Katie-I will ask some museum people who did a grand tour of African museums a couple of years ago-maybe they were in Gabon-when are you leaving?. I would tak ethe Lonely Planet with a majot pinch of salt-some of friends have been over here recently clutching the guide for South Africa and we were not very impressed despite having used it very successfully in North Africa. We wondered whether any of the contributors had actually been to some of the places they mentioned. Have you tried Africom? Kathryn
