Port of Matadi, Congo Free State
Port of Matadi, Congo Free State
Arrived yesterday in port & got room as planned in Matadi. Inn crammed full of European wizards. You wouldn’t know I’d just left Britain — too many Englishmen here already.
Weather makes a change, though. Spent today getting bearings in town & picked up the last of the supplies for the journey from the local wizarding market. Came back to the docks, got talking to a Belgian & asked about the ivory and hides he was shipping out. Spotted some Tebo hides and tusks among them, though he pretended otherwise, and wouldn’t say where he’d sourced them.
Met Tambwe as agreed this afternoon, thank Merlin. All set to head out tomorrow. Will be glad to be moving. (Will be glad to get out of town.)
