SOYO FERRY CROSSING DAY 292

Went to ferry building at 8am and got a ticket $463 !  Met a couple who live in Gabon from Argentina and their friend from France, all on bikes. 
Went back to hotel and showered , went to Shoprite for some goodies and then at noon Went back on my bike to ferry. Christophe had made it on time and met him again since losing him at the Nigerian border crossing. 
Waited till 3:30 pm and while we were waiting a fight broke out and the guys ended up between our bike and thought they were going to knock them over ,but they were separated and then we left to load the bikes.

Was a pleasant ferry crossing ,after three hours we arrived in Soyo at 7pm where they unloaded the bikes and then wanted more money and we refused to pay more taxes and eventually he came back and gave us a story that the Captain also riders and has waived the taxes and we can depart.
Found a hotel and had a great evening outside at the restaurant chugging some beer and a fish dinner and Christophe  played guitar and sang.
