Around Limbé
The Road Chose Me Volume 2 OUT NOW!!
The Road Chose Me Volume 2: Three years and 54,000 miles around Africa
In need of some major R&R I move only a short distance down to Limbé, and the beach at mile 6. This beach has had camping for as long as anyone can remember, and so I setup on a patch of green grass right near the beach.
My campsite at Mile 6 beach
The gravel is jet black, something I have never seen in a beach before. To add to the overall feel, an oil refinery looms only a few hundred yards away, though the water is nice and clear, and warm for swimming.
In the thick jungle
I spend a day licking my wounds, and exploring the area around before returning to camp another night.
In a palm plantation – I have been seeing these since Guinea-Bissau

It sure makes for a great backdrop
Sometimes, I agree
When in paradise, there is no rush.
The aftermath of the Mount Cameroon day hike. Massive blisters, and I lose a toenail

I follow your journey since your first post, and this blog is massive. While – against all the wonders of it – I probably wouldn’t make a trip to this part of the world, it is enthralling to read about it in such a direct way. The best thing about these posts is the down-to-earth honesty: you don’t seem to carry any agenda or overlooming philosophical tones here – good and bad people, bribery or unexpected kindness – you write about it in the same, sane tone.
I wish the history, personal stories or local gossip that mostly only glances through half sentences above would sometimes be more expanded. But I also understand you have to constrain post length and you also write articles elsewhere, or maybe a book later on
Greetings from Hungary!
Hi There,
Thanks for the feedback! You are right, I am saving some of the best in-depth stories for the other places I am writing, and my eventual book

Hey Dan… Great Story so far…… Keep it coming… Very curious for the next few Countries you have ahead of you ! I only know Southern Africa , so i am very excited to read your experiences especially with your “No Bribe Philosophy” LOVE IT !! Wondering if you met other “Overlanders” travelling North ? Stay safe and travel well !
Hi Olli,
Thanks for the kind words, I too am excited about what lies ahead!
Absolutely I have bumped into a couple of people going North, though it’s much less common than going South.
I’m filming video interviews of some of the people I bump into along the way – check it out here – https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNiCe5roBX1gdbLoAclKw9RTgo-_kAYAP
