Great views

Kalandula falls
The stones in Pungo Andongo

The stones (detail)

Kwanza river and the atlantic

En route

To the south, on a particularly good dust road

On the way to nice Gabela, on the hill


Some odd dry plane amidst the green

Red sands in Malange province, stones ahead

Road trip

One week later then scheduled, my girlfriend arrived. Soon after, we had packed our bags and gone for a ride. In two weeks, many holes had been driven into, many more avoided, and a considerable amount of dust had been eaten. We had had a great time. Yet in spite of all the travelling, we saw only a tiny bit of this huge country, making it slightly awkward to point at the map and comment on how much we travelled. Angola is 13.5 times bigger than Portugal, and 2.3 times bigger than France. But we did drive 3000 Kms and we did see many nice things. Let me illustrate with some pictures.
