Formalities took a couple of
hours to complete - the really unusual bit of the process was the interview with the
medical officer. Producing a thermometer, the officer indicated that
he wanted to take our temperatures. Concerned about placing the
thermometer in our mouths (!) - the officer and all the 'add-ons' burst
out laughing. Not mouths - but armpits! Whilst waiting for thermometer to register our
healthy temperatures, he
jotted in his journal and eventually we were allowed to proceed. We think this has to do with the Ebola / Murburg
virus.
The image below shows our route to a bushcamp used by the team from AfricanSnail and ourselves. The Russian map is a few years old but shows most of the route.
