The first day in Tunisia we went for a long walk. We felt really as if we were very far from home. So very different from the cold Holland. They thought us how to negotiate about prices, gave us tea, and welcomed us very friendly. The hotel owner is also a very nice person (in fact he is still in t…

A birthday in Ghana is like a birthday in no other place, at least mine wasn't! Most of the volunteers who had arrived at on the same day as me had left, and there was a new batch here, but they were away on the Cape Coast trip I had been on a few weeks earlier. There were three other people at the…

The next morning I awoke and had nice chats with some volunteers and learned about their awesome experiences.  One was a young Canadian fellow who had been working on water irrigation projects in many different areas...sounded very interesting!  Eventually, I headed out, taking some loc…

We bound to the Atlantic coast from the valleys of high atlas mountains the ancient Phoenician town of Mogador and now since Independence, called Essaouira 'Little Picture'. Abandoned by the Portuguese in 1541....to relax in beautiful seaside! I was amazed the pretty seaside town of Essao…

I don’t do diaries, but somehow today I have a craving to write. Sitting in a pub, in Nairobi, just finished an outstanding trip through Uganda and Kenya. It was superb, but yet I’m sitting here, drinking a bottle of Tusker, Kenyan lager, and I’m… incredibly sad. Why?   “My” wai…

Hi everyone :+)), First of all, if you like this blog, plz leave a comment or a smile BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MY SECOND AWARD LOLLLLLL :+)), ok I am just kidding :) Since I was a very young boy in school, I have been learning that Luxor constitutes 2/3 of the world's monuments, but I didnt have a c…

In the second day we went to the Egyptian museum,the citadel,Al-Azhar park,then the girls met with my two freinds Anja and Basma...they went to the islamic cairo and see some mosques...and tried their first Shisha and egyptian drinks... then we left to luxor at 12am....

Not an extremely exciting day but I did pet a 4 week old rhino.  It looked so bemused the whole time.  It kept stopping in its tracks to look at people and be petted.  It was kind of cute but also weird looking.  They put sun protection on it which made it look really cute. …

We had to wake up at 9 this morning so that we could get breakfast before heading up north.  The hotel we stayed at was right on the Indian Ocean and we ate breakfast practically on the beach!  There were some guys out there giving some camel rides to people who were up for it.  I wa…

Sharm el Sheikh and Cairo!

I used to go quite a lot to Namibia for work. Here are some photos from multiple trips that I made in various parts of the country: Swakopmund/ Walvis Bay, Spitzkoppe, Etosha, Rosh Pinah and Oranjemund.

Pas grand chose à dire sur Casa, parce qu'en fait; à part y atterir, je n'y suis pas resté.  Je ne pense pas avoir manqué grand chose non plus, avec le peu aue j'ai lu dessus...  Donc, directement arrivé, je file vers Marrakesh en train!  Et évidement, on n'est pas en voyage ta…

I've made it Accra!  After a treacherous 20 hour trip (down from 30 last year) I'm back in Accra where it's hot, muggy, dirty, smelly and full of probably the friendliest and happiest people on earth!  You can't help but step foot off the plane and just go ahhhh.  A big sigh of relie…

Our last day in Marrakesh began with the routine World Cup chat as we got ready for a day of sightseeing.  We decided on spending the day getting to places of interest further afield by using the hop on hop off buses found in nearly every city nowadays. Before we bought the tickets we consider…

I still have very vivid memories of back in 97 when I was still "green"--getting off the train in Tanger and trying to explore the old city in the early hours of the morning when there weren't a lot of people around.  A shifty looking fellow started following me insisting on being my "guide".&…
