drove the car onto the wooded ferry, each ferry takes 2 cars or buses. it was a thrilling 35minutes water drive. reversed out of the ferry as we got to the other side. was charged 2k for the ride, which was paid as i was embarking.

the drive from Ibi to wukari was rough as the road into wukari town was still bad. road improved as we edged closer into town. arrived Wukari at about 5pm or there about. drove another 40km along the wukari - Jalingo highway to the exact village which was the target.

ended the days trip there.


pics 1: loading the car onto the ferry

pics 2: the 35minutes ride on the ferry


pics 3: along wukari - jalingo highway.




ps: the old workhorse peugeot 504 wagon was majorly used along the bad Amper - Ibi road

Not sure I can risk my car on that ferry but I might change my mind when I see it work
