46. Sivasagar

Blog entries, Locations
We backtrack from Kaziranga east again, along the Assam Trunk Road. In places this is a two-lane road – which, as so often in India, is being used as three-lane, at least, and with involvement of motorbikes and tuktuk easily four-lane. In other places it is a proper four-lane motorway, with separation in the middle. [...]

Foumban There is more than just Bamileke in the west of Cameroon. We make our way from Bafoussam, the regional centre where we spent the night, to the town of Foumban, further to the north.

September 2002 – 16. Cap-Haitien

Blog entries, Locations
Charming Cap-Haitien in the north of Haiti is not only a good basis for visiting the Citadelle and Sans Souci, but also a charming place in its own right. In the North of the country is Haiti’s second largest city, Cap-Haitien, in colonial times known as Cap Francais or the Paris of the Antilles (and [...]

Blog entries

04. Old Baku

Blog entries
The small old centre of Baku, the Icarisahar, is an attractive, if somewhat complex, maze of streets and alleys, with some attractive but over-restored, monuments.
