The remote North
I know I have said this before but I am looking at an amazing view! Our half of the group left camp at 8.30 and began the drive towards the Marienfluss. We had been driving for about 20 minutes when we noticed the others weren't behind us. We tried to ...
Despedida
Não vou concluir o blog com reflexões muito profundas e pseudo-intelectualóides de um pretensioso super-homem com bagagem de vida suficiente para dar uma de alto moralista. Vou deixar os Outkast e o Cee-lo fazerem isso por mim, com o refrão de um som ...
Day 13 - Sunset Cruise
... River. Very peaceful, although a bit contriversal. Not only did we drift past a number of people trying to take their evening baths, but we did also made a brief, yet "illegal", stop in Angola. The local kids didn't seem to mind though. :) ...
Angola's Story
... irrational border officials. There was a group sigh of relief when, with only an hour or two delay, we obtained access into Angola. However initially we were not able to extend our 5-day visa, which left an unrealistic expectation that we could drive over ...
Chegando à casa

Enfin l'angola
Finalement, j'ai eu mon visa pour l'Angola à oshakati. Cela m'a couté 200 dollars US pour avoir privilège. Le consul était de mauvaise humeur... pas de négociation possible. Mais, j'ai eu de la chance car au lieu d'attendre 10 jours comme les autres ...
Cabinda

Angola Day 1 of 5 - Tough Day
... Bureaucratic describes it quite well. Being asked for my itinerary, I noted down my planned route through Cabinda, DR Congo, Angola and into Namibia, sufficient information I reasoned. No. 'Give me your whole route.’ ...
Angola Day 2 of 5 - Sitting
In truth I did not sleep much on the coach that night in Soyo. In fact it took me perhaps two hours to be able to sit still. There is a comedown from adrenaline and tension which leaves you restless and fidgety. I did get some sleep though and I ...
Laura and the Inmates
... the day... Prison Rodeo!!! Yep that’s right. We had to drive over 100 miles to Louisiana State Penitentiary (Angola) – affectionately known as Alcatraz of the South. Angola is the most famous maximum security prison in America, ...

Angola
Another 3 years in sub-saharian Africa. That was just great: except for school and homework, I remember very well my outdoor activities: tennis; sailing (that is, sailing classes); going every weekend to remote beaches by boat, with family and ...
Angola Day 3 of 5 - More Sitting

Compromisso
Na finalização do projeto não poderiamos deixar de desafiar os universitários de Angola a se comprometerem em dar continuidade ao evangelismo na universidade. Estamos na ultima semana e o projeto não acabou. Este foi o primeiro projeto missionário ...
Land Ahoy
We've been on the boat 5 days straight now without land being sighted. The weather has been amazing and we have all changed colour. When we all stand together we look like a rainbow – a very beautiful one at that – we go from white, pink, ...
Angola, IN
If you are ever in Angola, IN be sure to stop by a little place called Zesto. It is the cutest little icecream shop with all different flavors and mixes, they also have chili dogs, etc. It is really neat, but the best part is they have like a ...
Domingo na praia - The Story's End
The next morning, we wake up, side-by-side, buckled in, dry mouthed, head pounding, inside his car, right in front of his father's house. We both look at each other and start laughing. "Heck, what a night. Lets go to the beach." We drive to ...
Shaggy and Jesus
