Angola – peaceful after years of wars is still hard-to-get destination. Luanda where I landed is quite nice city – at least regarding the centre. It has charming, palm-fringed corniche, some nice colonial buildings and… photo – phobia. Do not try to take the camera off your bag!
It is probably the result of the war…
Luanda is also very expensive to stay – taxi ride is like 20 USD, hotel prices start at 90 USD per day per room and it is difficult to get accommodation. Look for the friend to stay!
