21. Temuco

Blog entries, Locations
Where we had to drop the tourist attractions of Temuco on our first day, because of changes in our program, due to further changes we suddenly find ourselves with time on our hands, and a full day in Temuco for the things listed in my guide book. Worthwhile here are the regional museum, with its [...]

18. Osorno, the town

Blog entries, Locations
Some 100 kilometres away from the volcano is the town of Osorno. There is no real, touristic reason to stop here, but the weather is miserable, not inviting for a drive through the country side, as any lakes and volcanos will not be very photogenic on a day as today. So we decide to spent [...]

07. the churches

Blog entries
We have already seen a few curious churches, amongst them the dug-out Temppeliaukio Kirkko in Helsinki and the spectacularly modern-design St. Henry’s Ecumenical chapel outside Turko. But now we are in for some more traditional countryside churches, as well as the fabulous cathedral in Tampere, taking us back to the Art Nouveau era. First, just [...]

We need to change money. ATMs are no good, because the maximum they dispatch is the equivalent of 40 US$. Our cash dollars are good for local currency, the Leone, which confusingly comes in old and in new notes. We briefly feel ourselves a millionaire, with all these LE 10,000 notes, until we realise that [...]

Monrovia It is Easter Sunday. What better way to spend the morning at mass in the catholic? I see some of you frowning. I mean mass in an African cathedral, the Sacred Heart cathedral of Monrovia, and let me tell you, that is a whole different experience. Sure, we need to stand up regularly, more [...]

6 April 2023

Blog entries, Locations
Everybody got their visas, so no extra day in Grand Bassam, and no day excursion to Abidjan. A pity, in a way – missed opportunity – but on the other hand most African cities so far haven’t impressed very much (although Abidjan may have had the capacity to do so, a bit more: green, clean [...]

16. the Spis region

Blog entries
Like so often this trip, we face several attractions closed, but the biggest and perhaps the smallest church of the Spis Region are both opened, specially for us. Levoca, our base for the last few days, is also the capital of what is called the Spis area, a historical region that for a long time [...]

04. Prague

Blog entries, Locations
The wonderful Central European city of Prague oozes history from all its pores, medieval to recent, mostly expressed through its beautiful architecture. And all of that without so many tourists! What can I say about Prague that others haven’t said before me. Well, I will mention the Czech Cubist movement, of which I had never [...]

19. Telavi

Blog entries
Telavi itself is not of much interest, but the town is surrounded by some fabulous churches and cathedrals, many supporting the remains of vivid frescos.

64. Lima

Blog entries
The metropolis of Lima, the old Colonial capital, has a lot of predictable history, and at the same time many unexpected corners that make it such an attractive city.
