The West Coast road
Posted on April 28, 2015 | 1 Comment Three days to the end of the journey! I leave Amanda in Lambert’s Bay and continue onto the railway service road, that same nice gravel road cutting straight through the coastal landscape […] 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 […] Namibia’s best: cycling along the Orange river
Posted on March 26, 2015 | 2 Comments I have barely seen any greenery in a long time, actually since I left Ovamboland in the north. Namibia has only two perennial rivers, the Cunene and the Orange, and […] 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 […] Kolmanskop ghost town and the Namibian diamonds history
Posted on February 18, 2015 | 8 Comments Going back from Lüderitz, up to Aus, on that same an unique B4 road, I will this time stop often. Anyway, this time, the 120 km stretch with the gradient […] A meteorite around the Waterberg
Posted on June 19, 2014 | 3 Comments I have lost maybe seven or eight kilos since the last time I weighed myself, which I think is as far back as Monrovia. I was surprised when I played […] 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 […] 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 […] 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 […] Nouadhibou to Nouakchott, the Mauritanian desert
Posted on April 10, 2013 | 9 Comments My initial plan for leaving Nouadhibou was to take the train until Choum, then a truck until Atar, then the desert road until Nouakchott. There are two desert roads: from […] Nouadhibou
Posted on April 7, 2013 | 5 Comments The power is down also in the morning, so I must skip the shower again. The whole city being deprived of electricity also means that no internet café will be […] Sea and oranges
Posted on December 17, 2012 | 6 Comments I am forced to wake up at 8, during my half-asleep hour between the alarm of 7:30 and the one of 8:30: a dog jumps on my tent, one small […]
