Luckily I feel a bit better again. I got very sick, yesterday afternoon, after we had put up the tents. Vomiting. Diarrhoea. Ate something that didn’t agree with me, but violently didn’t agree. I was not the only one, another in the group had the same. But both of us are recovering well, thank you. [...]

We still have a long way to go today. The plan is to camp near the town of Mondou, the second largest town of Chad, in an area where the Fulani nomads converge at this time of the year. But first we look around at the village where we camped – last night, I hadn’t [...]

Actually, after we had dinner yesterday – accompanied by a Gina band, a singer/player on a kind of a guitar and a duo of percussionists hitting a shifting washing basin -, we went into the village, Djodo Gasa, attracted by more music. The people here are Moussay, a local tribe with a strong cultural heritage, [...]

The real expedition has started, we are off! We have left. For real. This morning a wakeup call at 5 am, breakfast, packing the truck, and off we go at 6 am sharp. The plan, suitably vague, for the next few days – two, or maybe three, equally vague – is to visit some villages [...]

Note: It is not that we have been kidnapped that I have not been posting (thanks for asking), today is the first day we are having internet again, after Ndjamena. So the reporting is a little behind. Whivch will only get worse…. We got our Cameroonian visa yesterday, within a day. Apparently the Embassy in [...]

We are woken up by the muezzins, many of them. Chad is predominantly Muslim, and Ndjamena obviously has lots of mosques, all of which call the faithful to prayer. All at the same time. Five AM. Half an hour later the church bell rings: we are staying in the Catholic Mission, in the centre of [...]

A bit about Chad Less than a week to go, and the excitement is growing by the day. Packed the backpacks, unpacked them again, and then repacked them. We haven’t forgotten anything, mosquito nets, suncream, hat, flip-flops, swimsuit. And that whilst it is freezing, here, at night. Good feeling. Let’s focus on where we are [...]
