Southwest Cameroon

2023-03-04
region

After a few hours in the car, I cannot claim to have seen the whole of Cameroon. But I have a sense of what it is like in at least one small region. As in many African countries, the streets are very busy with shops, people, stalls, street food, farmers, cattle, police, military and petrol…

London to Vilnius

2023-02-07
flight

Flying from London to Vilnius with a very short stop in Warsaw, Airlines has a one hour delay and there was a high chance that I would miss my flight to Vilnius. There wasn’t much i can change while on the plane, so I relaxed, looked out the window and took some pictures of cities…

São Tomé Island

2023-02-05
region

This island is very green, with a few sandy beaches, delicious food and friendly people, even if many of them carry machetes. Everything went very smoothly and easily in this tiny country. Hiring a car from the local hotel was a great experience; we got the keys at the airport and they asked us to…

Diogo Vaz

2023-02-03
sight

After descending from Pico de São Tomé, we had about half an hour before sunset, so we decided to explore the west coast with no particular destination other than sightseeing. We soon stopped at the beautiful beach south of the village of Diogo Vaz and enjoyed the colourful sunset. Rob climbed some sea stacks, the…

Lisbon to São Tomé

2023-02-02
flight

The journey from Lisbon to São Tomé is long, but the scenery is spectacular. The aircraft passes through Portugal and Spain before crossing the Mediterranean and entering Algeria. After flying over the Sahara, the route passes through Niger, Nigeria and a small corner of Cameroon before reaching the island of Bioko in Equatorial Guinea and…

Berlin

2023-01-18
region

Berlin is the capital of Germany and one of the most vibrant cities in Europe. It is home to a rich culture and history, with a wide range of attractions for visitors to explore. From world-class museums to beautiful parks and gardens, there is something for everyone in Berlin. The city also has a bustling…

Pergamon Museum

2023-01-18
sight

The Pergamon Museum and Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin, Germany is a fascinating experience for the curious traveller. It offers exquisite exhibitions of antiquities from different civilisations and contains over twenty different collections such as ancient Middle Eastern architecture, classical sculpture, Islamic art and Roman mosaics. We choose to go to the museum instead…

Zürich

2023-01-16
region

Long stop at the airport. I check out the nearby mountains and peaks that might be accessible at this time of year. Nothing really attractive, so plan B – sightseeing in the city. I buy a return train ticket and in half an hour wandering around the streets of Zurich. There are not many people…

San Jose to Newark

2023-01-15
flight

The plane took off from San José in Costa Rica and flew over the east coast of the United States before landing in Newark. Many places can be seen from the plane’s window, including Cuba, Florida, South Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and New York. We also flew over parks, rivers, oceans, beaches and…

Nicaragua

2023-01-10
region

Exploring Nicaragua for the first time was an incredibly enjoyable experience. From the picturesque hikes to the active volcanoes and the hospitable locals, I was left with fond memories and a greater appreciation of the country and its culture. The food was organic and delicious, and the people I encountered were always welcoming and helpful.

Brussels to Chicago

2023-01-04
flight

As I head towards Nicaragua, the airlines’ marketing departments have made sure that the route that is “most convenient for me” has at least three connections. The first is in Brussels; the second is in Chicago. I have flown a very similar route across the Atlantic before, and I know that I will be able…

Prague

2022-12-25
region

After a hearty dinner and the greetings sent and received, it’s time for a walk. The city is packed with people, apparently still trying to recover from a couple of years of global restrictions. The large number of people does not prevent us from enjoying the city’s streets at dusk. I still find it beautiful…

Warsaw

2022-12-18
region

Christmas is coming, and we’re in no hurry. We stop in Warsawa on our way from Vilnius. Correct decision because we discovered a great restaurant, Christmas-themed streets, a comfortable hotel, and had a good time. What else.. Walking late in the evening, we are surprised by how many people are on the streets. Maybe it’s…

Vilnius

2022-12-15
region

Winter, night, few people, a bit of a chill, fresh and clean snow on the streets. It’s the perfect time to wander around the lovely city of Vilnius and see what’s decorated for Christmas and how. After the scorching heat of Argentina, this was a welcome change.

Buenos Aires City High Point

2022-12-13
hike

We have breakfast, call a taxi to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE), and indicate in the app that we want to go via Av. Francisco Beiró 4150, C1419. The taxi driver gives us the all-clear sign, and we go. The address was actually further away than I thought, but we have plenty of time; we…

Tucuman to Buenos Aires

2022-12-12
flight

The plane lands at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), a few kilometres from downtown. The size of the city and the illuminated streets will leave few indifferent. And the clarity of the picture and lights only confirms the origin of the city’s name. We land and very quickly collect our luggage. At the entrance, with my…

Ruins of Quilmes

2022-12-01
sight

After Cerro Malcante, we head towards Cerros de Pereyra. However, not far from Cerros de Pereyra, we stop, turn around, and go back. In heavy rain, the chances of us coming up the river bed to the trail are slim. Our plans changed due to rain, and we rolled south towards Cerro Bolsón de los…

Museum of the Vine and Wine of Cafayate

2022-11-30
sight

It would be hard to miss the Wine Museum when walking around Cafayate. Modern, inexpensive, and interesting. We saw the exhibits and found out how the grapes that make such delicious wine are grown in Cafayate’s land and climate. We learned about the history and tasted red wine at the end of the exhibition. In…

Cafayate

2022-11-30
region

A cosy town at the foot of the mountains in Valles Calchaques. We even have to spend a couple of nights there. The first time was on the way from Cumbres Calchaquies to Cerro Malcante, and the second time was on our way from Cerro Malcante to Cerro Bolsón de los Cerillos..  So I feel…

America Cultural Center

2022-11-30
sight

In the morning, we have a few hours, and we head to the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology. But it doesn’t open until 11 a.m.; it’s now 9 a.m., and we are not in the mood to wait. We go back, and on the way, we see an open door and, behind it, a magnificent…
