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 […] Last days in the Namib desert: railway stations and wild horses
Posted on March 9, 2015 | 5 Comments What I like about the Namib desert and the Sperrgebiet is that, since nobody would want to live there for the lifestyle, every man-made structure carries a part of the […] Ovamboland, the boring road
Posted on May 26, 2014 | 5 Comments More than half of the entire Namibian population lives in Ovamboland, on just 6% of the territory. The Ovambo are by far the country’s largest ethnic group, and the term […] 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 […] 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 […] Franceville, following in the footsteps of Brazza
Posted on February 12, 2014 | 1 Comment The French consul takes us to the consulate of Congo in Franceville, and applying for a visa when he sits next to us becomes much easier: the usual requirements and […] The Ring Road (2/2)
Posted on January 17, 2014 | 3 Comments The northern part of the ring road is the toughest but is worth it for featuring the deadly Lake Nyos. After leaving Ndi Roland and Irene in Binka, I quickly […] Togo
Posted on October 24, 2013 | 3 Comments How does a plate of beans with flour on top sound for breakfast? It is strange but good for a change. The morning is rainy again. I head north so […] Into the Ashanti kingdom
Posted on October 11, 2013 | No Comments Ghana is one of the countries dubbed as “Africa for beginners“, where people are nice and where it is safe and easy to travel. It seems true so far, the […] Ducor and Africa, the hotels of Monrovia
Posted on September 16, 2013 | 16 Comments Monrovia, and Liberia in general, is not an obvious choice when it comes to tourist destinations. But it doesn’t matter, since one of the things I like to do is […] For a swim in the open pit of the Bomi blue lake
Posted on September 8, 2013 | 8 Comments Janjay admits it now. While we are having breakfast on the shores of Lake Piso, watching the army of hermit crabs laying at the bottom of the clear waters, he […] Getting into the Alps
Posted on November 11, 2012 | 1 Comment Not as high as in Valais or Grisons, but still with some climbs. I wanted to take a route going through nice scenery instead of staying in the plains between […]
