Wonderful photos. You do get around. I bet you are one of those "visit every country" types
Your highlights sound like a typical trip through Central Africa I spent a couple of weeks in Mamfe, Cameroun, because the road out is so awful it alternates north and south bound on alternate days, and while stuck there we met the local Peace Corps guys, moved in with them, and had a great time. Oh those mambas, green or black.... And police? Well we had our passports confiscated when trying to leave Bangui (you take a dugout across the Ubangi River to Congo) and had to go whine to the embassy to get them back. Our charge? We didn't have "entrance permit" stamps from when we arrived. Probably just another bribe that should have been paid.
Those red mud roads bring back the memories, even after 50 years. Looking forward to reading your details
As for "Itchy Boots" - yes she is pretty good, enjoy her channel.
I've been in southern AZ all month hiking my butt off as usual.
