Our bags are packed and our next
stop is Angola! The itinerary is finalized and it is the perfect
balance of adventure and relaxation. Let's get into it!
We'll be hanging out in the country's capital, Luanda, which sits on the country's Atlantic Ocean coast and it's looking like it's all about beach life here! Since we don't speak Portuguese or any of the local tribal languages, we will be exploring with multi-lingual guides. We've heard that Angolans love music and a reason to party and we like the sound of that!

Since Luanda is right on the Atlantic Ocean coast, we looking forward to tasting all the various fish and lobster dishes, stews and lots of yummy fruits and we will be checking out what cultural and educational experiences this town and country have to offer. Like Algeria, we are advised not to drink the tap water there but mineral and/or bottled water is readily available.

Now obviously, there is way more to
see and do in Luanda and in other cities in Angola than was shared. This
is the perfect reason to visit again and see what we didn't get to see and
experience on this trip!
