Visa advise
Getting back to Gregors original question about visas. Wether or not you can obtain the visas in Tam or Agadez, I would strongly advise against it. I used to travel around getting the visas as I went along until it has happened twice that my entire trip has screwed up due to this. I once ended up selling a nice car destined for south africa in the Gaza strip because the Saudis kept us waiting for 10 weeks in Jordan to give us a transit visa (i.e. after 10 weeks I gave up) and for various reasons Egypt was not an option. Other people came up the other direction and we met people who one month before us got their visas without problems. Since then I always get all the visas I can in advance, even if it means to go to some other country to apply.
