How much did it cost?
Posted on May 29, 2015 | 14 Comments One question that came often to me was “where do you find all that money to travel?“. Well, first, I don’t just “find it“, it’s my savings, and more relevantly […] More meat and some wine
Posted on April 14, 2015 | No Comments My cycling-brandy-braai partners stick to the main road, the N7 until Nuwerus. But after a great day around Leliefontein yesterday, I can’t help leaving Garies for the dirt again. Via […] Into South Africa, the last country
Posted on April 1, 2015 | 7 Comments South Africa, my last country! I almost made it! I am only 700 km away from Cape Town, at the bottom of the continent. But let’s not celebrate yet, since […] The D707, a fashionable notion of remoteness
Posted on January 27, 2015 | 13 Comments In Namibia more than in any other country, my first thought, as soon as I get out of the tent, is to squeeze my tires. And this morning again, my […] Tsumeb
Posted on May 29, 2014 | 2 Comments When I stopped for a few nights at the Etosha Café (can be called Etosha Kef with a local touch) in Tsumeb, I didn’t know that I would stay there for […] 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 […] Le massif du Mayombe
Posted on February 24, 2014 | 1 Comment The fiber optic is in Dolisie since 2009, but it is connected to nothing. The internet cafés are slower than a 2G network. Since the youth can access Facebook on […] First steps in Congo
Posted on February 16, 2014 | No Comments We leave Gabon without having seen any elephant, and with the hope of finding more food in Congo. The Gabonese immigration post is in Boumango, 17 kilometers before the real […] The logging trucks
Posted on February 2, 2014 | No Comments “Watch out for the logging trucks!“. Logging trucks seem to be the only danger in Gabon, and we were warned against them several times. The “grumiers” carry the timber (les […] Into Gabon, the Woleu-Ntem
Posted on January 29, 2014 | 2 Comments Gabon uses the CFA Franc, a currency to which I am well accustomed after visiting all the West African countries on the Atlantic coast. It is very useful to compare […] Yaoundé and the South
Posted on January 26, 2014 | 3 Comments Yaoundé makes a refreshing stop in Cameroon. Named after its German founder (Jaunde), the capital city spreads along the highway, from the north (presidential palace, embassy district), through the middle […] The forgotten land
Posted on January 23, 2014 | 3 Comments How is ICT taught at school in a village with no electricity? All the villages of the Bamoun region are Muslim. The dirt road starting from Foumbot and heading […] Calabar, the gateway out of Nigeria
Posted on November 28, 2013 | 11 Comments I am now well advanced through Nigeria, I went around the Delta region and I can aim for Calabar. I am no more an Oyihbo but an Oniotsha now, this […] Bosomtwe and Obuasi
Posted on October 14, 2013 | 2 Comments We prepare banku with Hannah on Sunday morning while the church songs can be heard all around. My plan is to head in the afternoon for the lake Bosomtwe. With […] In Baoulé country
Posted on October 2, 2013 | 2 Comments The morning we wake up in N’gorankro, it seems the kids are waiting for us. The same crowd as yesterday evening is here, under the porch of the house of […] Northern Liberia
Posted on September 26, 2013 | 3 Comments Roy sends us off with a big bag of UN food from the neighbors, that looks very useful, with many goodies independently packaged. We can pursue our road up to […] Chocolate bananas in a cold-storage room of Montréal
Posted on November 29, 2012 | 4 Comments Cyril joined me in Brassac yesterday and we are going together across the Pyrénées mountain range until Spain. We did pretty well in cycling away from the rain until noon, […]
