Le Beachclub Sidi Ifni

... first time in my life, saw a falling star. Ibrahim caught a fish. Hader was not as successul. I gave Hader my head flashlight as a gift and he was very happy. I was generous with him the following days as well. However, as he begun asking me for more and more gifts I became less interested in his company so I stopped meeting with him. Ibrahim, who is one of the gentlest most traquil ...

... Beautiful small rocks in all colors and patterns, mingled with whimsical shells and other gifts from the sea, playing with the wave endings at my feet. To my right there are mountains and cliffs and to my left is the gorgeous sea. Breathing together with all of this wonder is delightful. On my walk I met a rather scary looking local searching the beach for something that was not seashells or rocks. He explained to me that he was looking for bulbs ("potatoes", he ...

... onto miles of unexploited beaches. Around the Spanish town extends the Moroccan-built town, with its arbitrary city design charm, delicately combining ornate Moroccan architecture alongside decaying Spanish buildings. There are several hotels here, and the one I am staying at is especially charming. Everyone is so very friendly and warm and the rooms open onto a lovely communal terrace which is perfect for relaxing, reading, meditating, and practicing yoga. Today I taught a mini yoga ...

... Ifni instead, a beach town in Southern Morocco that used to be part of Spain untill 1969. This time I shared the front seat with a very energetic and very old man, dressed in a traditional bright blue jelaba and a black head scarf. I was wondering why I found it enjoyable to cozy up with this grandpa, who at times used the upper lip of my pelvis as an arm rest, placed his palm on my ...

... disso como combustivel para ficar ainda mais certo da sua decisão de apanhar a piroga para a Espanha. Conversa puxa conversa, « o que têm para vender ? Porque não montam o vosso barraco no mercado ai a frente ? Todo o mundo o faz ».« Epa por duas vezes os policias vieram me correr e levaram-me para a esquadra, ja estou farto, mas se tiveres alguém certo para comprar motores de geleira, vamos la imediatamente ». "Conheço", "então baza".

... Wal-Marts and subdivisions with a historic downtown. Not unlike many of the small cities around Lexington. Bummer. But I still like the name. At some point I arrived in Bourbonnais. The "Bourbonnais Welcomes You" sign was the tip-off. Bourbonnais, Kankakee, and Bradley are all sprawled together. You never really know which city you're in until you see a sign telling you you've left one and entered another. I always ...

... I had to cancel my hostel reservation with Purple Palm in Jo'Burg on 21/4 since I no longer have one extra night to stay in Jo'Burg. After things were resettled, I finally felt more at ease. This extra night also allowed me to make some phone calls and went to do more shopping while I am still in Chicago. However, it is a little disappointing that this trip could not start as smoothly as I wish...

Back to Chicago...and prepare for the upcoming big trip. I finally made reservation for my flights from Europe to Africa. I evetually settled for Emirates Airline. As the No. 2 airline in the world (Only after Singapore Airline), it has always been the one I wanted to try. And because its extensive network in both Southern Africa and Eastern Africa, I can choose to fly into South Africa and out from Uganda ...

... it goes... 10. Antigua, Guatemala (including nearby Lake Atitlan and Chichicastenango): It is that small Spanish colonial town in the mountains, just one hour from ill-reputed Guatemala City (so you can fly to Guatemala City International Airport and head to Antigua directly). This town is small, easy to walk around and has many nice cafe and bars. It also has highest density of Spanish language schools in Guatemala. From ...

... an unsophisticated Taiwanese tour group. But unlike my stay in Rome, I had only half a day in Florence (Though in that half day, we witnessed a robbery by a motorcyclist, welcome to Italy!). I did not even have time to walk to see the exterior of Uffizi Museum! This is the birth place of the Renaissance and a returned visit is definitely a must in the future. - Hong Kong: One of the most beloved Asian cities by the Westerners. I is cosmopolitan, affluent, and dazzling ...
