19 April 2023

Blog entries
Having lingered in our comfortable lodge for a few days, it is time to undertake some activity again. We head for Tanji, a little further down the coast, to explore the bird reserve. Hmm. Long story short, we see more birds in our lodge than that we saw on our one hour walk through the [...]

15 April 2023

Blog entries
We had the idea of going to Bunce Island, a small island in the Sierra Leone river that empties in the ocean here. Bunce Island is the old British slave traders base, supposedly well protected, but demolished several times, by the French and by pirates. And now by the ravages of time, the place is [...]

29 March 2023

Blog entries
Having enjoyed the surf – very strong undercurrent, no swimming in the sea here – and the pool, and the excellent restaurant of our beach hotel, there is not much more to do in Grand Popo. I take a walk along the beach, where fishermen are hauling in a huge net. As everywhere in Benin, [...]

24 March 2023

Blog entries
Although Porto Novo kept on surprising us, and no doubt has more undiscovered potential left, we decided yesterday to return to our beach hotel in Cotonou. The initial plan was to travel on to Ketou, where we would link up with the truck again, but then the truck decided to go south, and spend another [...]

11. Batumi

Blog entries, Locations
Batumi is Georgia’s foremost Black Sea harbour and beach town, and judging from its modern construction obviously booming – although taste is another matter. Batumi, as far as I can see, has three distinct elements. There is the beach front, for which it is famous, and the associated Batumi Boulevard. There is the old town, [...]

10. the Black Sea

Blog entries
An afternoon at the Black Sea, in two locations quite different from each other. It is time to explore the Black Sea. Before we settle in Batumi for a few days, Batumi with its gravel beaches, we check out the black sand of the area further to the north. With our monster – our rented [...]

Bagamoyo

Blog entries, Locations
fishermen on the beach Just north of Dar es Salaam were a few struggling beach resorts, but drive on another half-an-hour, and you have the most spectacular beaches all for yourself. Well, almost, you may have to share them with the fishermen, who are active near shore, with ramshackle boats and with nets. The beach [...]

April 2002 – 12. Jeremie

Blog entries, Locations
The Southern peninsula of Haiti, the Grande Anse, and its main town Jeremie are not that easy to get to, but the town, and the surrounding beaches, make a trip worthwhile. The Grande Anse, the southern peninsula, is one of the more remote areas in Haiti. It is quite an exercise to get there, from [...]

59. Trujillo

Blog entries
Despite having seen many a colonial town already, Trujillo proved to be different, and very nice, indeed;  Salaverry on the beach is less spectacular.

58. the holiday

Blog entries
A few days holiday on the beach in Huanchaco charges the batteries once more. And provides more photo opportunities.
