Yup. You are right. This is the oil city in Cameroon. The city is also a beach city where a lot of foreigners that love going to the beach frequent here to spend time on the beach. The beach they go to is about 30 mins from here. This town is called Limbe.

The next day, I went used my brothers Benz to take a 1.5 hours drive to the coastal city of Limbe to eat some very fresh grilled fish by the sea. it was yummy. A common sight some times on the highway. Cows blocking the highway.

Thanks for pointing that out about the plugs. Yes, this is Cameroon. And yes, it looks like all those other countries. LOL about the food. No telling what kind of meat you might end up eating here. It might just be a cray thing like a dog or a horse. But I make sure what I am having is beef.

Car in tow. My first time towing a car like this. I must say it was quite an experience. The 1 hour journey back took us 2.5 hours towing the broken down vehicle. Notice the bike on the right with 4 people on it. This is a normal sight. The driver and 3 passengers who may just be complete...

Well, I am leaving the US in 2 days for my short 2 weeks long visit to Cameroon, West Africa. It would not be a real overland trip, but since it is a vacation, I thought it might be worth sharing my trip and adventure along with some pictures of a part of the world that others may never get the...
