Posted in Africa, Asia, France

I had the opportunity to go to many places while on the job and now in retirement nostalgic about all of them will like to show you a bit more personal side of me and my travels, As these are already older pictures they merit to be in my blog, after all, the blog is my life’s history, Always nice to remember these places and the friendship made alongside of it, Therefore, let me tell you about my personal curiosities of my world !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa  it is the source of the White Nile, the longest tributary of the Nile.  The Nile river with a length of about 6,700 km. It comes from the meeting of the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The surface area of 68,800 square kilometres (26,600 sq. mi) maximum depth of 84 m (276 ft.) and an average depth of 40 m (130 ft.). The White Nile rises at Lake Victoria (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania); the Blue Nile comes from Lake Tana (Ethiopia). I rode on jetski waverunner on Lake Victoria to the source of the White Nile !  Lake Victoria was simply amazing! Not enough words to describe it, you must visit it in your lifetime. Going to the source of the Nile was a thrill and bragging rights for a long time !!!

Ho Chi Minh City is another wonderful experience of a vibrant, cosmopolitan city on the move, plenty of moves always busy and exciting day or night.  I like to give some shots of it from my office building top floor in Ho Chi Minh City, There was a restaurant bar on the top floor there ! My collegues force me to go up, great memories !

As I came during the southeast Asia Suzuki Cup football.soccer competition and Vietnam was playing Malaysia, the away game ended 2X2 with many good plays by Vietnam. The crowds in the area were huge with many congregating near the hotel on an endless rows of motos and scooters and even cars flag waving. And of course, me !! Eventually, Vietnam advance, I saw the game and the celebration from the Gartenstadt Restaurant 34 Dong Khoi Street,  drinking my favorite Krombacher pilsner German beer I drink at home !!! Memories forever.

My accommodations at Somerset Court, Ikoyi , Lagos, Nigeria .I stayed in a very nice compound, Osborne Foreshore Estates, very well protected as it is the home of many armed forces personnel. The place is at  Ikoji, one of the nicest districts of Lagos, very nice with all amenities including a pool, billiard room,bar, restaurant, sports TV all over, exercise room, and very friendly staff. Somerset Court is a top class luxury hotel situated at No 2, Asejire Close, Osborne Phase 1, Ikoyi, Lagos. It’s a favorite due to its proximity to a lot of business outlet and also Ikoyi Golf Club among other leisure centers.

The town of Lemery is in the province of Batangas, Philippines. I went up to Lemery for breathtaking views of Twin Lakes. I reached the town from Tagaytay via the Diokno Highway, which is the road I took, All in great company, memories forever !

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
