15. Cox’s Bazar (2)

Blog entries, Locations
The original plan was to fly, by helicopter, from Cox’s Bazar to Saint Martin’s Island, a small coral island some 9 km south of Teknaf, in front of the Myanmar coast. This place is becoming a bit of a tourist destination, although I have no idea why, there is very little to do, it seems. [...]

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.

Blog entries, Locations
Dar es Salaam Even though Dar es Salaam, at the time (we are talking 1987, here), already counted some 1.5 million inhabitants, you wouldn’t say so, if you wandered through the city centre. Essentially low-rise, either in the form of old colonial architecture or cheap 4-to-5 story apartment buildings, it had mostly a small-town atmosphere, [...]

14. La Serena

Blog entries
La Serena is both humble old town, full of churches, and gaudy beach resort, but without the tourists, yet it benefits from several interesting sites in nearby Coquimbo and Tongoy
