The first 9 days in Cabinda have been a bit topsy turvy, but things seem to be getting better and better. Our housing situation has been confusing. We have had 5 different living arrangements in 9 days. Finally we are settled into a nice hotel that has a gym with 360 degree view of the bay and hills of Cabinda - super plus!! The hotel orders us meals every day, calling to ask what we want. Check out the view from our room.
