Posted on March 13, 2015 | 2 Comments The biggest surprise on my whole Trans-African journey was definitely Angola. As the vast country is filled with stunning scenery, it took me quite some time to compile an 18 […] Ruacana
Posted on May 20, 2014 | 4 Comments I was doing my business on a large rock this morning, with a view on the Ruacana dam lake, when a small crocodile ran past me! I must have surprised […] Cunene, the last province of Angola
Posted on May 17, 2014 | 2 Comments What will the dirt road look like after all the rain? Lightnings struck almost all night long. It was one of the most violent weather I have seen on my […] Beautiful Huíla and Southern Angola
Posted on May 14, 2014 | 1 Comment A mob of youngsters arresting me? That’s what’s happening for the same usual silly reason: the obsession with the control of papers of anyone in Angola. My shortcut […] Fantastic scenery around Lubango: Mucubals and Serra da Leba
Posted on May 11, 2014 | 10 Comments The mighty but tamed Serra da Chela mountain range is surrounding me in the small village of Catanda. I lost 1000 meters of elevation since Lubango and I have to […] Tundavala
Posted on May 8, 2014 | No Comments The scenery around Lubango is fantastic. I make a point to visit the Fenda da Tundavala, a well-known gorge that plunges 1000 meters down to the valley below, elected one […] Lubango: city, carnaval and Cristo Rei
Posted on May 5, 2014 | 8 Comments Finally! After cycling 1750 kilometers during 23 days in a row, I can finally rest, this early March, based at the catholic mission of Lubango. That was too much, even […] Angola, where I am called Chinese all the time
Posted on May 2, 2014 | 2 Comments Once out of the main tar roads, Angola is a very pretty and quiet countryside. Luckily not spotted by anyone at my camping spot, I can enjoy a lazy morning. I […] The Abominable Cyclingman
Posted on April 27, 2014 | 3 Comments The worst conditions to apply new bandages on my ankles wounds are brought together this morning: sitting on a stone, holding my feet, I must fight with the chicken that […] Through a maze of cornfields
Posted on April 18, 2014 | 2 Comments It has already been 20 days in Angola and I haven’t even cycled halfway through the country. I knew it would be tough to reach Namibia within 30 days, and […] The road that didn’t exist
Posted on April 14, 2014 | 5 Comments Despite Angola having many very good and brand new roads, I think I am destined to cycle only the worst of them. When they still exist. I wake up in […] Tough roads and police in the Dembos hills
Posted on April 3, 2014 | 2 Comments Scritch scritch scritch … I heard those noises all night long. It was the mice eating the newspapers used to decorate the walls of my rudimentary house. I slept very […] Along the coast of the Zaire province
Posted on March 30, 2014 | No Comments Bernardo says that the smoke from the gas flares killed all the food in the area. But luckily, he has access to drinking water with the solar-powered pump/tank system installed […] Congo – Cabinda – DRC – Angola, quite an adventure
Posted on March 26, 2014 | 20 Comments This part of Africa on the Atlantic coast is quite tricky: between the southern parallels 5° and 6°, from Pointe-Noire (Congo) to Soyo (Angola), there are three border crossings within […] 22000 KM !
Posted on March 22, 2014 | 2 Comments I am reaching 22000 KM just as I exit Angola after close to 3000 kilometers in the country. I think I took all the worst roads I could there. Angola […] 21000 KM !
Posted on February 28, 2014 | 2 Comments That is more than half a round the world journey (Earth’s circumference at the Equator: 40075 km) and, still riding the least frequented dirt roads when possible, my equipment is […] 20000 KM !
Posted on February 13, 2014 | 2 Comments Twenty thousand kilometers and still on the road. Angola is a cycling paradise, with stunning landscapes and many brand new (Chinese) roads. Yet, avoiding the traffic and the very expensive […]
