And then my 2nd try to visit DRC was thwarted by a coup attempt when I was about to land in Kinshasa! ironmanjt and I did finally manage to get over to DRC but only for a daytrip (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...go-angola.html).

Many thanks, hauteboy / Jordan

. Yes, Goma reminded me of your trip to Kinshasa, going from clean and orderly Rwanda to the potholed roads, chaos and corruption of DRC

!

I asked my DRC guide David if he had ever been to Kinshasa and he said he had been three times. I asked if it was by bus and he just laughed at me and said that it was almost impossible to travel by road that far across the country. The return flight was $1000, not cheap for a domestic flight!
