Back to Cape Town
Like last year, I ended my trip to South Africa in Cape Town. This time, I focused a bit more on the recent history of the city than the main tourist sites: I did some walking tours, and visited Robben Island and the District Six Museum. Continue reading Back to Cape Town

Awed in Phong Nha
As I have heard a lot of good things about Phong Nha, I had high expectations — and even those were surpassed. The landscape alone is very beautiful, and the enormous caves in the area are just stunning. Continue reading Awed in Phong Nha
