the south coast

Blog entries, Locations
Lindi Lindi cannot be omitted from this set of memories: it holds the dubious honour of having provided the worst hotel accommodation I have ever slept in, up to then in 1987, and all the years after that – and I have slept in quite a few dubious hotels during my travels. The problem with [...]

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 [...]

Dar es Salaam

Blog entries, Locations
Dat 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, [...]

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.

49. Chiclayo

Blog entries
The northern coastal town of Chiclayo hasn't a lot to offer, yet, we have been well entertained in the market and along the beaches.

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

27. Halong Bay

Blog entries
Halong Bay, one of Vietnam's biggest tourist attractions, didn't disappoint, partly thanks to our rather comfortable arrangements.

Sur to Salalah: the Coastal Road continued

Locations
The Coastal Road from Ad Duqm to Salalah passes through much less inhabited country, safe the occasional fishing village and camel herd.

Sur to Salalah: the Coastal Road

Locations
The first half of the Coastal Road from Sur to Salalah passes through Mahout, the extensive dune fields of the Wahiba Sands, and Ad Duqm, the mother of all infrastructure projects. A bad storm limited not only our visibility, but also our options.
