On a bicycle across the Sahara and beyond - ebook
A report from a journey through Africa in 1980.
Dear “Przekrój” magazine,
In the early days of July this year, we welcomed a visitor, a young printer from Warsaw, Jacek Herman-Iżycki, who, whilst carrying around 15 kilograms of luggage (a tent, supplies, a 3 litre water canister), successfully cycled on his bicycle through Algeria, Niger, Nigeria and northern Cameroon to reach us – the Polservice contractors working at the Polyclinique Yaoundé in the capital of Cameroon (Dr K.R. Haslinger and the undersigned). Having collected family correspondence from our embassy and having fixed the wheel of his vehicle, he subsequently headed over to the Central African Republic and Sudan, planning to conclude his several months long journey across African roadless tracks in Egypt. He achieved all this by relying purely on his own resources, which consisted mainly of his young age of 27 years and his huge desire to explore the Black Continent. During his travels, not once did he spend the night in a hotel bed!
With warm greetings Dr Jerzy Budzyński, Yaoundé
