A boat trip in the Democratic Republic of the Congo!

Hello Everybody!

After our adventures in the Central African Republic, we took the jeep and drove until we reached the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is a Francophone country. Because it is such a big country, it became difficult to decide where we would go. After discussing a bit, we decided to go to Kinshasa, the capital. Because it is almost the end of our trip, we went to the Grand Hotel Kinshasa. It is a 5 Star hotel in the center of Kinshasa.
In the hotel, we had a beautiful view over the river Congo.

After we had unpacked, we went to the Yacht Club Kinshasa. There, we rented a boat with a driver for the rest of the day and this only for 150$! On the boat, there were tables, chairs, a suntent and also a barbecue. It is obvious that this became a great and relaxing afternoon.
In the evening we barbecued on bord with the fishes we had caught in the afternoon. It was very delicous and above all, it was an unforgettable experience.

After our boat trip, we went to some bars, first we went to ‘the Standing’. This is a small western-style bar and disco. It was very nice but there was not that much people. So after ‘the Standing’, we went to the ‘VIP Bar’. It is also a western-style disco but larger. There was also a mirror and a disco-ball on the ceiling, it was a really nice place where we had some drinks of the local beer ‘Turbo King’. Around midnight, we ended up in our bedrooms and fell asleep.
