I don’t get too many opportunities to take photos of the night sky and stars, mostly because I’m always in the city and there is way too much light pollution. Which is why one night in Porto Santo I decided to go out on to the beach and miradouro’s for some night time photography. Raquel … Continue reading »
My holidays over the last couple of years have never been with abject purpose to relax, but always explore. Though this is always cool and exciting, exploring in an finite number of days is, well, not always relaxing. This didn’t even change with Raquel if you consider our trips to Portugal, South Africa, Morocco and … Continue reading »
I’m back in Guinea after a great holiday with Raquel and her siblings in Madeira and as always after a good holiday, my mind does not want to work at all. I dwell on the lazy days at the beach reading and hearing the surf crashing on the beach. It also doesn’t help that I’m … Continue reading »

For those who have an interest in Africa this is a great book as it provides with a good history of the period before independence of African countries through to the period post independence. … Continue reading »
The rainy season in full swing and our days are filled with rain and clouds which is slightly, well, inconvenient as the constant rain makes me slightly sleepy, especially the sound of it hitting the zinc roofs. The plus side when the clouds do break, you get some interesting formations, like the one below, which made … Continue reading »
Yesterday while scouring Conakry in search for a working ATM, we weaved between the streets the downtown area which gave me a great opportunity for some hidden iPhotography! Enjoy!
The long drives home due to traffic have one benefit to them: It gives you a great opportunity to observe Conakry life without pretext or veneers of putting on a show for the foreigners.
