Cape Town and Good Hope
Posted on May 5, 2015 | 6 Comments The weather was cloudy when I reached Cape Town last week, but today, the last day of August, will be perfect for my last stage of cycling Africa. I want […] 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 […] Looking for Sperrgebiet diamonds in the Lüderitz peninsula
Posted on February 13, 2015 | 2 Comments I find very interesting to learn about the Sperrgebiet for all the mystery that surrounds it. I already wrote a bit about it when I cycled through it from Aus. […] Cycling the salt road on the Skeleton Coast
Posted on July 10, 2014 | 6 Comments Waking up in the desert is fantastic. As fantastic as it is terrible to find a wind shelter for setting up my tent. Luckily the wind went quiet during […] 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 […] Congo – Cabinda – DRC – Angola, quite an adventure
Posted on March 26, 2014 | 20 Comments This part of Africa on the Atlantic coast is quite tricky: between the southern parallels 5° and 6°, from Pointe-Noire (Congo) to Soyo (Angola), there are three border crossings within […] Pointe-Noire and the Kouilou, an oil story
Posted on March 10, 2014 | 2 Comments The good side of being out of the bush is that it reminds me of all the pleasures of life, especially food. There is a patisserie in Pointe-Noire and the […] Voodoo and tourism in Benin
Posted on November 5, 2013 | 1 Comment For my holidays-from-cycling time, I established a base at Cotonou’s best budget accomodation, discretely located in front of the Cordon Bleu restaurant on the main Haie Vive street. The Gästehaus […] Freetown
Posted on August 15, 2013 | 5 Comments The kids are dressed up for school, in a green or blue uniform, while I load up my bike and leave for Freetown. I have 10 kilometers to cycle from […] Mango street, Casamance
Posted on June 15, 2013 | 4 Comments The Casamance is the region of Senegal separated from the main part of the country by The Gambia. It has a long history of rebels and the French government advises […] Sine-Saloum, sea, sand and sun
Posted on June 9, 2013 | No Comments I leave Toubab Dialaw rather late as my next spot is Warang just near Mbour, where I was offered to stay the night in the house of Maryse and Toni. […] A second long break
Posted on June 5, 2013 | 2 Comments After almost 3 months in Morocco, cycling across the Sahara and a bit of wandering in the hot interior of Senegal, I settled near Dakar, in Mboro, where I could […] 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 […] More Anti-Atlas until the coast
Posted on March 8, 2013 | 4 Comments Hassan wakes me up at 7, so I am packed and on the road at 8 am already. That allows me to see the sun waking up over Azaghar n’Irs […] The rainy Rif
Posted on January 31, 2013 | 5 Comments After five days spent in Tétouan, mostly using the internet I didn’t use during the past two weeks, and strolling in the nice medina that I started to know quite well, it […]
