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 […] 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 […] The Himba of Namibia
Posted on May 23, 2014 | 3 Comments My break at the Kunene river lodge is like living another life. In a short week staying there, I enjoy delicious breakfasts over the Cunene river and I can blog facing […] 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 […] 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 […] When the Chinese build the roads
Posted on February 8, 2014 | 3 Comments The bees are absolutely everywhere. It is with good reason that the rainforest is called until Lastoursville “la forêt des abeilles”, the forest of the bees. They stick to my […] Cycling through the Lope National Park
Posted on February 5, 2014 | 1 Comment The inhabitants of Junkville didn’t spell a cast on us, and I didn’t hear a single story about “taper le diable”. The devil may be invisible, but the chief Daniel […] 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 […] Around the Niger river from Yoruba land to Igbo land
Posted on November 24, 2013 | 6 Comments There is a waterfall and a place where a hot river meets a cold one, some kilometers around Ipetu, but I am sticking to the roads instead of exploring and […] Dirt and asphalt until Ghana
Posted on October 8, 2013 | 2 Comments Some good rest in Yamoussoukro and 10 Chinese spokes for 1 € later, I leave the capital towards Ghana, to the east, without testing the traffic mess in Abidjan. I […] Cocoa and koutoukou, the assets of Ivory Coast
Posted on September 29, 2013 | 1 Comment In Blizreu, alcohol is part of our breakfast and the kids enjoy it too. After Sy, the school principal, and his family have offered us fufu, the old Samuel takes […] Robertsport, navigating through Liberia
Posted on September 6, 2013 | No Comments Once in Liberia, we quickly forget about the troubles we had exiting Sierra Leone: the first immigration post, just after the bridge over the Mano river, is quite cool. “Welcome […] The waterlogged roads to Tiwai Island
Posted on August 28, 2013 | 3 Comments Today is the day we start on the supposedly bad roads. There is no more tar from Bandajuma until the Liberian border and I hope the rain didn’t ruin the […] Guinea-Bissau from west to east
Posted on July 25, 2013 | 3 Comments While the temperature is decent outside, I sleep way too hot under the metallic roof. I wake up many times in my own sweat puddle, like if I were an […] Inside the Tarn River Gorge
Posted on December 2, 2012 | 3 Comments I thought I would reach the Tarn River Gorge just when the slope from the Aubrac ends, in La Canourgue. But it is not immediately here, and it keeps ascending […] To Lyon in 3 days
Posted on November 18, 2012 | 2 Comments The heavy rain has passed while at home in Pontarlier and I’ve sorted out what I needed to. I just postponed one activity, the compilation of a video of yoyo-cycling […]
