The West Coast road
Posted on April 28, 2015 | 1 CommentThree 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 CommentsMy 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 CommentsI 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 May 8, 2014 | No CommentsThe 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 CommentThe 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 CommentsMonrovia, 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 […]
