ANGOLA | Monday, 19 Jun 2023 | Views [208]
Luanda gets an unfairly bad rep, and most people who criticise Angola's capital have never been here. Cranes and skyscrapers dominate the skyline but there are more highlights and standout sights than in many other capital cities. The other day after ... Read more >

Angola doesn't get many visitors. Most foreigners who are here are working, not taking pictures. Police, soldiers, and the average local wonder why someone would travel from all the way around the world to take a photo of a building. Today ... Read more >

It looks like a creature struggling to be accepted but reaching out and asking for a hug or a handshake; that's what Angola is shaped like. It is one of my favourite country shapes. "Why would you want to go to Angola?" one may wonder. Firstly, it's ... Read more >

At 55 million years, the Namib Desert is the world's oldest desert as well as being how Namibia derives its name. Synonymous with sand dunes and sun, Sossusvlei is where I'd explore today. I had difficulty sleeping last night but I was up early with ... Read more >

All good things must come to an end, and that was true again today as I had to say goodbye to Valereis today. She is on her way to Greece for a few days. After a couple of days at her farm, she invited me to her home in Swakopmund and it was a whole ... Read more >

Fish River Canyon is postponed for now. The 5-day hike I booked more than a year ago is off the table for the time being, not due to COVID-19 issues or visa-related issues, but due to badly straining my hip last week. For the past several days I was ... Read more >

It's my final full day in Bermuda, and I'm always really hard on myself when I set a goal. 100 geocaches I wanted to find in Bermuda in a week here, and I'm leaving tomorrow. Until today I'd searched for over a hundred but had only found 63. Last night ... Read more >
