Montserrat, the island volcano ate

Montserrat is a cork dust floating in the middle of the Caribbean. A stone with a volcano. A ghost town with narrow gray living world, Green, beautiful and Cornered. A bastard oblivion. Ash. Music. A ferry and a perennial goodbye. Anyone who feels the curiosity of the traveler, I, you must go to this place.

20 años tarde en San Francisco

¿Qué más hacemos? Y se nos ocurrió una idea magnífica que hace siete años que no realizamos (viví cinco años en el sur de África y llevo dos años en México donde eso no existe): nos fuimos al Ikea de Oakland!!! It was brutal, funny, lleno de emociones. Con esa sensación ya sí de euforia tomamos un avión de noche camino de Salt Lake City. Fuck, costó pero al final encontramos el SF irreverente que habíamos imaginado.

America

Tree death 500 years

How high is? - "emm 25, 30 meters "- Don responds Orlando, who has worked all his life as a herdsman; And how old do you think has? -"Over there 500 years "- He says without much thought, as if it was not an impressive figure. But it is that this tree has been here since before the first settlers even think to reach this forest!

There were people live in Wadi Halfa

There was a smell of sewage and drainage of misery. He had rotted remains of animals and huge crows flying over our heads with their throats screaming arid clouds. There was again a slow night and the air so thick that you used to block their ears.

Cargo from Turkey trip to Egypt

We could not communicate with them almost, none spoke a word of English. Something that stretched around the boat and what we were accustomed. When we asked was for us Haifa and answered five, eight or one hundred, which it depended on believing that we questioned fingers in my hand or trucks that fit on the boat.

Cape Town (In): Robben Island, Mandela's cage

A poster, with a metal gate area shared cells (berths), in which there were always more bodies mattresses, explains the different menus that could be eaten in the criminal: Asians and mestizos (coloureds) were members of the group B; while Bantus (black) members of the Group C.

One night on a freighter in the Java Sea

The scene is terrible and pathetic. Whole families in tatters, men in shirt-drawn cover staring the discomfort and boredom. Fatigue-based curing patience of centuries. The infinite patience of the poor of this world.

A tuc tuc to "escape" from Sudan

I'm tired of waking up with a Sudanese glued to the hump, however sympathetic it. What I want is to get out and leave behind the black hole and all its inhabitants.

Mozambique: bus and ferry hens mud

We pay the ticket and hope, hope, until we realized that decayed wooden boat before us in which dozens of people came up was our ferry. The climax was when the end came a guy who got his bike.

The future of Egypt: Modernity and fundamentalism "?

Outside the resorts, villages are miserable and children threw stones at motorists. Cairo, congested and wrapped in a permanent haze; the capital of the Arab world has forsaken God. It seems that the sweepers take twenty years to strike.

Zanzibar: smiles smell of cloves

The earliest sunsets of the tropics are yellow and red. The nights are spent in restaurants lit with torches and glasses are taken from the deck chairs
