Chad visa was avazilable in Naimey without problems - it was issued teh same day and I think it was 13,000CFA, though I can't really remember
We are in Ndjemina, Chad, where we will get our visas for Cameroon (30,000CFA, either same or next day depending on how they feel)before heading South as soon as possible - Chad is not a place I would choose for a holiday - hot, dusty, bad roads, and surly locals...
Got around lake Chad after getting lost a few times - and lots of run-ins with corrupt officials and nasty locals - but no punctures until I got up this morning in the Novotel to find a flat tyre. The sand was a bugger and we did a fair amount of pushing and digging - ground clearance was difficult but we did a lot of off-piste to avoid ruts...
If anybody wants a fuller update on route conditions for the route around lake Chad let me know and I'll put something together
