19. the Auracania Coast

Blog entries
We need to get back to Temuco, to return our rented car. But rather than going in a direct line, Ruta Panamericana further north, we decide to detour in the direction of the coast, which we reach at Mehuin, a small fishing village just south of the provincial border of Auracania – the province of [...]

14. Cox’s Bazar

Blog entries, Locations
We have moved to another corner of Bangladesh, the southeast, where we have established ourselves for a few days in Cox’s Bazar. Named after captain Hiram Cox, a colonial Britisher who created a settlement here in the 18th Century. There are two things of which Cox’s Bazar has the biggest in the world. The beach [...]

03. Piran

Blog entries, Locations
One of the things I love about travelling is that I get to learn so much about the local history. For starters, I always thought that Croatian Istria bordered Italy, but that is not the case: there is a 50 km stretch of Slovenian coast that separates Croatia from Italy. And Piran in one of [...]

07. Coba

Blog entries
We have set up base in Coba, a little inland from the Costa Maya, with Tulum as its centre. Tulum is three things: a coastal zone full of beach hotels, an archaeological site, and the ‘pueblo’ a bit further back from the shore. We had been in Tulum for lunch, and to change money – [...]

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 [...]
