February 1992. Arthur and I are booked on a travel by bus called "Transsahara" starting in Douala, Cemeroon, ending in Tunisia.
But we did not manage. We reached just Agadez in Niger as the northest travel point due to incidence that culminated in the mali war in 2013. What I mean is the Tuareg uprise in the Aïr Mountains of Niger. Until then the North-South-Route through Sahara via Tamanrasset was quite drivable. This is over since erly 1992.
And we found out. So our travel was contricted to Cameroon, from South to Lake Chad in Extreme North, Nigeria, Kano area, and teh Sotj of Niger, the capital Niamey, ans Agadez, the entrance to Sahara. I recommend to now and then check position by using "map this" to find out where we are in these fabulous countries. Galleries and pics are ordered by date.
The pics were taken on Fuji Films with a small Canon compact camera and then scanned mostly as Kodak pcds. So don't expect resolution and brilliance like nowadays.
