All I have narrated VaP. route I, Javier Brandoli, for nine post. It was from my perception from where the journey has been told, trying to reflect what they lived. Today, to put the finishing touch to this beautiful adventure, they are, my fellow, those who take the word:

Amaia

I am a long time follower of VaP. (Travel to the Past). When Javier Brandoli and colleagues designed the first route for readers, I did not think twice and I went beyond.

Was Inuelta athe Paraíso (VAP)

Was Iniaje altamente Placentero (VAP)

I give you a million thanks to all the team of the magazine with Brandoli, Victor Hugo and the rest of wanderers who completed the route to Africa for the good company unknown, to use it like so many miles every time disfutando, for the batteries to recharge myself around the course and because I'm already dreaming of the next trip. See you at the next.

I'll fucking pass. Not that, was much more, the most amazing tour that could have dreamed, especially because having programmed it was the least important.

Linen

1-I went by chance. Me liaron.

2-The bad thing was good. The good, brilliant.

3-Repeat.

Martin

“Allow me to accept with gratitude the good things that the world still has to offer us and not pass judgment on things that are beyond my control”. He said this in 1960 Evelyn Waugh about a trip he had made to Africa; and he added «I have spent two very happy months and I am not willing to let the newspapers spoil them for me». And I say that over sixty years later, still in his thirteen newspapers because journalists like Javier are still outstanding.

Thanks Javier , Victor Hugo , Lino and all my companions, three weeks have been very joyous.

Monica (highlights a story that serves trip summary)

We arrived exhausted in the Cariaco PENSAO Cuamba, all we wanted was to get us all as soon as possible in bed. We had almost all day border pass car included ( travelers already know what constitutes a border pass in Africa) and to reach Cuamba, Oh ¡¡¡¡surprise, were not made hotel reservations at the scheduled ( these things happen quite often in Africa). We started our tireless Victor dinner while he began to look for something decent to spend the night that were not car seats. And I found that you found it go . The site chosen was the Cariaco Pensao, a mix of club and hotel puti African road. Nurses were fortunate, Toco the following (if you can call something in that den suite), but the rest of the troops had to make do with a few shacks and, course, Common bathroom that indescribable smell out. Just we were assigned our room, good old Lino began to empty his anti-mosquito spray everywhere while Martin got into his sleeping bag with a mask and everything so as not to see much more of that place and Amaia, I Txarly and laughter we started with taking pictures of everything, even went to call the nurses so they could see the calico. Those sheets could not be touched, Lino called him pulgueiro, luckily we all had sleeping bag and I plus my pillowcase (is part of the traveler's kit). And meanwhile, matches laughter slowly trying to sleep.

I remember when I decided to sign me up, after reading the route, conversation and a few emails with Javier in which given my inexperience asked (now I believe) some nonsense. I really wanted to know a part of the continent and what most struck me that it was a route, as he called, unknown and what seemed to be out of the bustle of the tourist agencies. For these things I knew I could not miss the opportunity to make the trip. For me it was a dynamic journey and I have learned that life, visited sites like the, you look different perspective in many ways. Things are very different to what we are used to seeing. Adults maintain a different lifestyle, are able to survive in pretty hard and the kids seem to occupy the lowest rung of the social ladder even though they are given responsibilities. Da feeling of the life that was in the roadside. There are also rifles and soldiers, a guerrilla group that seems to want to go back to war. But, covered that part of Africa I can say that I have marked both by its people, for its hardness and the aura given off their land. They come to feel many emotions. Raisins of living organized by a clock and a calendar to live unexpected events. The time spent on the trip and the lessons learned was the real treasure of my vacation. Thanks to Javier, Victor and all members of the trip.

There are trips that put a turning point in the life of every traveler. The mine put my first trip to Africa, back in 2009. I deeply Brands. I decided to repeat 2011 and, although it was a wonderful trip, I left so much impact as the first.

And 2013 was my first African experience with Spanish group. I, not given to travel in groups, I had my suspicions but I soon discovered that this trip I would leave a lasting memory. Travelling in a group with the freedom that we have and what is most important, with two guides-friends like Javier and Victor Hugo has been exceptional. It was like traveling with a group of friends without having to worry about anything because all they cared, more even than it would have been advisable. My sincere thanks to all members of the group, and for them especially, for an unforgettable holiday.

Also no trip that my wife, after one of our usual fights, do not ask me for divorce. And on this trip did not happen, Why is?
