Cameroon And Gabon

Hotel Mirrimar, Limbe

This is where I spoilt myself with a night in one of the huts, to recover from the 18 hour battle with the muddy piste.

Changing Hub Seal, Yaounde

I changed the seal as soon as I could, as grease was leaking onto the brake disk and causing one side to brake harder than the other. The job was made all the more fun with a dose of tropical rain half way through.

Piste To Kribi

After reaching Ebolowa it was a 100 miles of piste to Kribi. Most of which was in good condition, with only a couple of muddy patches.




Sunset At Kribi

I was reward with a nice sunset to end a long day of driving.

View From Auberge Tara Plage

Now this is what you call nice beach, golden sand lapped by warm blue waters.

Auberge Tara Plage, Kribi

I was camping further back from the sea and enjoyed many an hour lounging in front of the hotel. They also have a great restaurant here, which even guests from other nearby hotels come to enjoy.




Lobe Falls

About a 40 minute walk down the beach south is this set of falls, well large rapids really. But they are apparently the only ones to drop straight into the sea.

Road South From Bitman, Gabon

All the way to Lalara there was good road, a big difference from the last border crossing into Cameroon.

Crossing Equator, First Time By Land, Gabon

On the way to Libreville the road crosses the equator twice. This was the first time I had crossed the equator by land, and here is the GPS to prove it.
