Recidivism For Liposuction

Africa - Mauritius and South Africa

I thought that after each of the four continents on which we travel, I will try to translate a short summary of sensations and general perceptions. And every country is unique, but the real contrast is seen when switching from continent, as we are seeing in these early days in India, That different from Africa! For that I have been collecting material "hot" because, once you take the leap, really, the contrast is so great that in 2 days these lobotomized (in your eagerness to adapt).

Africa has fallen in love. Trying to find out what attracts us so much of this continent, I think the owner would be one that I have used before: pure nature. All the beauty that has created the man did not even reach the soles of shoes to the wild beauty of many parts of the world, so every time we do more nature tourism and less "cultural" (as they say) . And Africa has a lot more of the former than the latter, so we love it. In addition, it goes without saying that an important part of the natural heritage are not going to find the same on any other site.

In trying to explain graphically, we have received many compliments for the photos (even someone has come to believe that they were not our only "stolen" by professionals!), And questions about the camera that we and the zoom pedaaaazo we go dragging the world. For there is nothing like that. With the digital age in my opinion it is absurd to bring back heavy equipment, multiple objectives, and a bag for all material exclusive photography. Do not even have a reflex, but a hybrid (I would define as "compact zoom"), which weighs very little (for those who are interested: http://www.trustedreviews.com/digital-cameras/review/2006/05/ 16/Fujifilm-FinePix-S5600/p1 .) So the only secret (well, maybe there is some skill too :-) is that the "models" were of category. A zoom x10, Digital x40 reaching the truth is that it assumes a range scrotumtightening for the little thing is the camera ... but in many cases the animals were very close , seriously. Along with another of the non-know-it-that Africa is having its light. I enjoyed a lot taking pictures in Africa, and how not to do! Vale

sometimes we may have run some risk ... Controlled "? ... good, rather inevitable if you enjoy this continent, and now that we have gone we can have

:-) - the talks were of fireworks preparative every time we've gone on safari on foot, and how to react if we met a lion (stand up and look into his eyes), rhinoceros (you run the peel, but zig-zag), an elephant (exit legs also, but anti-wind so you do not smell), a buffalo (running to the nearest tree ... and remember to climb behind the buffalo do not Crushers against the trunk), or a hippo (if you overturns the canoe, dive to lush scrubland where hiccups can not see you well). The face of Eve and other girls in any of these explanations was a poem ... and guides pipe passing it scaring the tourists :-)

- But do not take these things lightly, because we seen a couple of elephants and affright pissed off (especially if you are runaway front by the way ... almost burned his way back!), and very few days of being in Africa witnessed a male baboon attacking a food tourist to take y. .. poor since baboons are not our favorite critters.

- Then there is the permanent yuyu with snakes ... In short, again inevitable walk in the bush without seeing your feet, so you bite the bullet and Pa'lante. If you rationalize it is actually quite difficult for a poisonous snake bites you, and in fact we've only seen one in the three months!

But undoubtedly, the two most annoying drawbacks of traveling in these countries are insecurity and malaria. Unfortunately the first thing will be a constant at 50% of the places we go, and even if you only read the notes / recommendations similar travel guides and paranoia can be unbearable (fortunately, as I think I mentioned, the issue is not as ugly as he is painted), the reality is that there should be "wandering" aimlessly known and evening walks that we love are not a good idea :-( As always, in that there are degrees of insecurity and according to the site to take advantage of what we see reasonable.

On the subject malaria, there will also the other of our future destiny, but Africa is perhaps the most worrisome area. And the obsession with avoiding mosquitoes if that sometimes borders on schizophrenia, so we more than once positive self-suggestion to try to relax with the subject. The risk level at each site there is anything but something scientific, and attached to it each choose to prepare and protect themselves in a very personal ... so that always helps us see the amount of unconscious swarm campsites at night, almost in a swimsuit, and of course without the slightest smell of mosquito repellent (and many, sure, they do not take any prophylaxis) ... and as you hear the news is not all those tourists falling like flies (and is one of the things that would come out in the news, insurance), as we come to the conclusion that the more careful we are, the better, but not obsessed because basically you have to be unlucky to get it. Or would stay or not a "native" alive, and although the numbers are not low, we must contextualize.

addition to this, Africa is neither a lot less without problems. We've talked a lot in the "glob" of racial issues, especially in South Africa, but other figures are shocking drama of AIDS. We're talking about that in Botswana and Swaziland almost 40% of the population is HIV positive! It's not so apparent to the tourist, or at least we have not detected (as we have lacked the "orgy Africa" \u200b\u200bas part of cultural immersion ;-), except in the omnipresence of ads promoting condom use, if not directly give away. But is that really shakes to hear that, by 2020, life expectancy is expected to Botswana of only 27 years!, when I recently was equated with the European average. Logistics



Among the little we knew and had told us, and we came minded that Africa is a complicated place to tour by public transport. Rather we were minded to travel would have to hire much organized, but with the advantage of being able to manage (and business) in situ, always much cheaper than doing it from home. The theme of the rental car we had as a possibility in South Africa, and perhaps also in Namibia after we had told some friends. However, in our opinion es con diferencia la mejor forma de hacerse este cono sur del continente, ya que a la evidente libertad de movimientos que posibilita se une que sale significativamente mas barato que unirse a un tour. Desde Surafrica hemos alquilado por unos 20 euros al dia, y ni siquiera era el coche mas barato sino algo intermedio (con maletero cerrado para que no se vieran las mochilas, detalle importante para no ponerselo a huevo a los cacos). Si volvieramos a hacer este viaje, circuito "cerrado" Surafrica-Namibia-Botswana-Surafrica, alquilariamos coche en Surafrica ya que te permiten llevarlo a esos paises sin problemas.

Otro tema ha sido Mozambique, donde tambien nos lo permitieron traer desde Surafrica y facilito bastante el viaje... aunque la matricula a claim was excessive foreign not only to vendors and other out-bitches-the-tourist, but especially for corrupt cops, which is more risky to reject outright and you have to complete Paripe until they get fed, if not want to pay. Very discouraging this type of character, make you lose a little hope in the progress of the country.

And, of course, Zambia and Zimbabwe (and from there to the north) are "off limits" for rental cars, or if you want to take you to pay a big plus. From there up more adventure seems to us not to go with local agencies.

Finally, it is also possible that we have had more luck than normal, because for example the Johannesburg airport has a terrible reputation (especially in lost baggage), and following our 5 steps by which we have found works exceptionally (we've never had to wait so little luggage), and our backpacks are still with us. Worthy of mention is also the good luck we had with the car, because at the end almost 2 of the 3 months we had rented car. At most we have given a considerable cane ... but it's nothing personal because 1) the roads in certain countries (Namibia, Mozambique, Swaziland) they did irreparable, and 2) to our Opel-otilla in Spain will also get into each fregao curioson! And almost all have endured without incident (the most obvious would have been a shot), when there areas where it had been a marronazo of Ordago. Just because we had to change a driver jumped a leading generic these modern cars (according to the manual of the car, "something is wrong but it is not clear that" ole!), And luckily we notice the day I Mozambique to South Africa (where we had rented), and we could make the trip but the speedometer was not working and is seeped in neutral once in a while. Anyway, as I say, nothing serious ... and I do not even want to imagine the hullabaloo if, for example, we would have failed in the middle of Mozambique.

The feelings of the traveler

Although he was not mobile, internet and look at "sporadically", not really serious goes not leaving any responsibility in Spain. Having rented house, and the sword of Damocles permanent the tax roles / business to attend to, unfortunately when you connect is not exclusively for news of you all can not help opening the mail while crossing their fingers hoping that your responsibilities are still not require you. We could have left him 100% (or almost) by someone, but would have been quite expensive (and with that money we travel at least a month), and more work prior to departure. Well, we see that this gives us ... and on another occasion (that there will be, as we do :-) neglected otherwise, to feel that disconnection full that longed for.

Curiously, after 3 months of travel in Africa, has only been one day that dog out so we are forced to "Guevara" the entire day. And precisely has been the last. It is also good luck, I hope not jinx it were high, but so long and to make matters worse when rainy season is precisely these latitudes ... we can not complain. If we had any downpour here and there (few, I must say), but we have hindered further progress. So that the typical rainy Saturday we went the last day in the mountains, it almost thanked him! I personally had more days of this, he would use to relax, get organized, have a good time writing thong, etc. So that day we caught up to it, and you could say it was like everything that could have been a rainy Saturday at home, breakfast in bed (which in this case was the tent), then did laundry, some Internet, we got a piece of binge African way of farewell, and the rest of the day we threw our daily reading and writing. What's more, but look if you seemed to have been home to me and I take off my pajamas! Well, I got a pair for what not to go out in shorts, but otherwise spend the rest of the day with the same clothes they had slept. Was or was not a typical rainy Saturday? :-)

.......................

And some more to say. Africa is special, unique, and certainly return. For if there is little romance, moreover, we come with full moon and full moon we went, Oooohhhhh! ;-)

The Africa of wild animals is only possible in these countries with very low population density, and where they have thousands of square miles without human meddling. O exceptions where they have booked strict and effective protected areas (Kruger). If this ever changes, the charged as we have already done in many other places. Fortunately, just tourism can be their lifeline ... Fortunately, Africa! Juan & Eva



PS: By the way, we in South Africa have "copied" the countdown, and every day remind everywhere the days that remain before the football World Cup starts in 2010. Will anyone dare? :-)

epilogue III - beach or mountain? Better a little of both to dismiss Southafrica II

Sunday, March 22, 7 am. Sea State: flat. Still no news from Gurb.

[at this point who has not read this masterpiece of literature nice and rowdy, you can open another browser window and be purchased while still in the "glob"]

Today we woke just as it came on the southeast coast of Mauritius. Yesterday I fell down 38, but this time they hurt less, who knows why :-) By the way, very appropriately this year is my birthday falls on Saturday, or that you have one ready! But no, because Eve falls on Thursday but ... In short, according to the plans you will also fall the 38 clubs in Tahiti, so he says he does not mind too much the day of the week, heh!

Today we spent a beautiful day, so Sunday even in our circumstances that we have lacked only the country with his charge to us transferred "in spirit" to one of our Sunday beach in Valencia. Obviously, nothing around us reminded us that, but the feelings they have been very similar to those days when the sun, sea, and tranquility of our "secret beach" on the outskirts of Valencia we reloaded the batteries to overflowing.

Being Sunday, the beach has been encouraging throughout the day, ending up being a true melting pot of people enjoying their day off. Mauritius is plagadito of hotelazos and resorts, with its exclusive beach, and we stayed in one of them would not have to be shared with the mob coconut. But we're going to do, "semos asin", and besides that we like to save some durum for the trip can be extended to 366 Saturday, little more than fill us mingle with the "natives" live a little day as they do, and feel minimally integrated ... even for a little while.

That said, it is true that when the building is stretching and dragging all his paraphernalia until sunday the beach, we have exercised tourists rent a boat a couple of hours diving in the stunning coral reef that had brought us to this particular site. Has been the best we've ever seen, so petadito coral there was not a little bit of sand, past and right next to the shore! After what cost us in time and money, see something that does not reach this level in Mozambique, we both have reaffirmed our view that there should rethink some things.

But then, as had the rest of the day was to dive but not in water but in the environment. The beach has been very lively, and especially entertaining for us, because the mix of ethnic groups living in Mauritius is enormous, predominantly of Indian origin and nearby (Sri Lanka, Bangla Desh), but there is also much Creole (mulatto from Franco-British settlers and African slaves), and many Chinese. You can imagine all that jumble there, harmoniously blended but each enjoying its own way, and we in the midst of all without chocasemos in the landscape. It's hard to describe, but it's been like living a day of utopia in which "world and gueno to'er" and everyone, regardless of color and religion, we get along well. And to finish it, the little walk back to hotel in local bus, all of exoticism in his extreme humility.

not, will it be this time of declining dotage? At the end of the day, 37 years may well have marked the Ecuador of my life, and from here may be in the countdown. It is possible, but has sounded dramatic but just as today I do not feel any vertigo by advancing rapidly over time, because after days like today I realize that it is possible to slow it down. I just hope that I am not sure how.

................................

Nothing, that today's post I decided to start with this excerpt as a diary I wrote at the end of this hot day. In general, I'm making notes in my notebook on the go, and finally do a rehash to try to give some pace and some consistency to every brick that you loose. But tonight I felt especially eager to capture what I felt immediately, so I have transcribed as is, according to what I wrote in the heat of the moment. And I mean that would not put it but ... Heat that did it!

:-) Well, that reflection of the first day pretty much sums up what we have experienced for 10 in Mauritius, a small but densely populated island with a unique melting pot of races and cultures, and where there are plenty of places that make justice to the pictures of the brochures ...

... but unfortunately many have taken in the exclusive luxury hotels. We are dedicated to passing otherwise, and we can attest that there is "another Mauricio", both in price and experience. Many of these, again, we have been traveling in the extensive network of buses across the island ... that would be cheesy, yes, but more like Mallorca, on par with something patriotic, take public transportation Maurice. But in addition, are the perfect showcase of how the locals live, and how everything is a matter of personal philosophy on life: several routes, buses that theoretically admitted "45 seated and standing 5", but actually had 80-90 seats and snugly up to 30 feet ... because in so many, I say, we have been surprised Descojonado with local comical situations that occur when you travel so, so arrejuntaito, with people who want to lose, others who want to climb (and there is always room for more) and driving with an art collectors from all this incredible mess.

As a curious note, and to delve some more in particular sociology of Mauritius, with its harmonious blend so races and cultures, we read in the guide is a detail that, in my opinion, is to take off his hat twice, separate the short history of Mauritius, people have been so clear he was not happy with the ruling party in elections the following were awarded either a seat! I can not "imagine" something like that happening in any of our Western democracies, with so much history and so established and however I think it would be very healthy.

But back to our Mauritian experience, I can imagine that was chaired by the sea. There is a curious aspect to many of the beaches of Mauritius, very original though not the kind of things mentioned in the guides or tourist brochures. As the island is completely surrounded by a coral reef, which sometimes is closer to the coast and in other little more away (but not much), on the beach there is always a double background noise: the small ripples that break on the coast, a soft sound, but closer, and much more powerful but far more real roar of waves breaking against the reef. Until you identify that is, you have a strange feeling, like that in that beach thing disturbs you ... over time, as always, you get used to the noise and you do not give great importance. But hey, is peculiar. As little "disappointment", I must say that the sunsets in Mauritius are not as colorful as we imagined.

Arrecife Along with the Blue Bay which had in the initial extract, the climax of those days was when we swam with dolphins. We spent about 2 hours and out of the water from the boat to enjoy the various groups that "socialiazaban" at dawn after a night of fishing (the dolphins feed at night). Lost count of how many dolphins were many so close we could almost touch, and even saw a little one nursing and several couples simulating intercourse or training (some bays, these dolphins :-). Although also jellyfish attacked us, as if he did not want the party disfrutasemos so completely. However, it was light compared with those fried us with the whale shark, which I think have happened to me, I would not like because Eva was still healing some of the burns, ouch! All this while most of the island (with the exception of the corner where we were) was poplar in a day of torrential rain. We were lucky, because although it was cloudy and rained some, the time allowed us to enjoy another magical experience.

And after the beach of Mauritius, we returned to South Africa to totally change of scenery.

mountain
The short week (more like 5 days, removing the outward and return), in what we could call "the Pyrenees from South Africa" \u200b\u200bhas been the return of peace, silence, the little people The face to face with nature, and in particular with some impressive mountains. The Drakensberg, which is the name of these mountains (the famous land of Zulus), as I have many similarities with the Piris: a handful of three thousand (26) in no more than 200 km long, the highest peak south Kilimanjaro almost nailed it measures Aneto, and landscapes that have reminded us even specific areas (Ordesa). Posts to compare, but not make much sense, my feeling is that Pyrenees are more varied and more beautiful, in general, but the Drakensberg is more dramatic because the gigantic mountains rising from nothing, is a wild-fold in the middle of vast plains around them. We've enjoyed and have given some straw, as a test for our impending attack on the high peaks of the Himalayas (pffff. ... ha!) I say we are "less bad" than expected, so better prepare Annapurna and company! :-) Overall, what really matters is how we affect the altitude, and that little we can prepare.

we eat (and drink)

If there's one thing in Mauritius have eaten up almost our fill, has been banana flambé for dessert. At dinner, as in many other things (language, without going too far), shows the influence of ex-French colony, but apart from banana flambeau to fine restaurants, we have also tested the "variant Mauritius" more homespun, made barbecues on the beach with the banana split in half lengthwise and without removing the skin (which was black as coal, of course). I did not eat as many bananas in my life, delicious!

A couple of curiosities in Mauritius, the aloe vera yogurt (Eva has been tersisima both internally aloe vera stomach pa'l :-), and a pumpkin called Cristofina and use it a lot, equivalently to squash classical and leaves them very rich.

Who know (worth mentioning)

In Mauritius, we have met with a very peculiar English. Silvia is in Ibiza, and works for Iberia with fixed-intermittent contract work = 6 months of high season on the island, and unemployment is at the other 6. Half a year in which, taking advantage of almost free flights enjoyed as an employee of Iberia, travels the world ... but the last 4 years has spent most of the semester in Mauritius. Is a character cabezita bohemian crazy, totally be hits Ibiza :-). It takes time to trying to bring English to Mauritius and guide on a journey "different" on the island, most authentic, and also more economical. As far had no luck, when we met we immediately "adopted" unilaterally, as if we had brought her and was like a lark to have "his first English in Mauritius." As I say, quite a character, we share a couple of dinners and a night of copying, by Silvia, and good luck!

In Mauritius also agree with Serge, a retired still working very fit one of the sites where we stayed. And I do, it worked, because that night we tralara their labor problems common to any worker anywhere in the world, and the very next day was changed to another job ... Better? Remains to be seen, as usual. I came to mind a phrase I read recently: "Before, when traveling, I noticed that I differed from the others, now I look a lot more on what we look like."

Finally, in the Drakensberg camping met a couple of South Africans of those that will return all hope in man. Ronel and Chris are a couple in their fifties, when we were doing so precarious campsite (we told you "professionals" who are around here :-), immediately offered to lend chairs, table, light and warm cafe whenever we wanted. Not only accept his kind offer, but we spent two very pleasant evenings chatting with them a thousand and one things, the second night after having invited us to a typical South African barbecue (brai, call them). It is wonderful to bump into from time to time with such lovely people, especially so genuinely good. Although all areas were very similar to us (I mean it was not a meeting "exotic"), so people will reconcile with the world.

Oh, and I almost forgot! So this has been in our South African days, that of waiting at the end I almost left James in the inkwell. James is an Australian temporarily living in Johannesburg, with whom we spent 4 nights loose in our comings and goings from the city. Already told us to contact you through CouchSurfing, although we had talked about it. It is basically another one of those people of great heart. In addition if it is not only good guy is, but that puts heart, passion, his life. So that the dinners at home, cooked and enjoyed as a team with such good company and good conversation (and wine, always a good red wine ... or two :-), have been a real pleasure. Yesterday, as deserved, we close our African quarter with a tribute in his home last, culminating with delicious mojitos teach you do to make it properly rum from Mauritius had given him at you, James, thousand thanks for everything!

...................

Y, peppers and lords, we end Africa :-( I'll try to make a compilation with feelings entry we have left the continent, but writing this from our new destination, Asia, and particularly from India. Nothing to do!, Of course, but not a hair lighter.

Until next time everybody!

're very sure of your science. I say you can create a paradise on earth.
That is able to clip the wings of death the body. That is able to retain the happiness in the human heart indefinitely.
And you, supporting you in your foundation, you feel as safe as safe do you feel when there is a temporary tree or a dog feels safe next to his master. But nevertheless I tell you all that safety need is a symptom of your own insecurity. I tell you that nothing was able to maintain you when you fall into you if you were not born yet. Your
science has created powerful vehicles to move you, beating time, from one place to another, but I tell you, before the birth of your generation and the generation of all generations that fill this civilization, and the man who had awakened his inner, could travel at the speed of thought and be anywhere at will. Your science has created a deceptive comfort based on the "why not me?" I still tell you that before she was born the true science said: "It's not the happiest but most have the least need" or "Wisdom is knowing how to take what you have and not get what you want" .
I know a place where I can go into any vehicle carrying life. And I can live with himself its characteristics. I know a place where inhabit the human vehicle is one of the many possibilities that gets to me Hand Life. In it there are multiple doors leading to different experiences, from any plant in any animal that live on land, air or water.
