Norway

On June 20th, one day later than planned due to our flights from Djibouti to London being cancelled on account of the volcanic eruption, Stephen and I boarded The World in Aalesund, Norway for a cruise through the Norwegian fjords with stops in Geiranger, Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansand and Oslo.
Stephen stayed on till Stavanger, Caroline till Oslo.

Our thoughts are with the people in Oslo and Norway.

7lows in Djibouti

On June 12, 2011, Stephen and I flew from London to Djibouti City for a 6 day adventure.

Upon arrival on June 13 we stayed the first night in the lovely Kempinski Hotel before going on a 3 day tour of Djibouti. We had contacted Dolphin Excursions and rented a car and driver with them for the trip.
Our first stop was Lac Abbé and its surreal landscape; overnight in a local camp.
The second and main goal of our trip was a visit to Lac Assal: at -155m/ -509ft the lowest surface point on the African Continent. Another overnight in a local camp, this time on the shores of the Bay of Ghoubbet, of the Gulf of Tadjoura.

Our short but fun adventure was shrouded in a very thick haze due to a volcanic eruption in neighboring Eritrea on June 12th. On all our photos the haze is very apparent.
