				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Un tout petit post sur le blog pour cette deuxième partie du sixième jour et notre arrivée sur <a title="Page Wikipedia" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandy" target="_blank">Kandy</a> (et je vous épargne généreusement tous les jeux de mot vaseux sur Kandy Crush Saga ou le pays de Candy).</p>
<p>Cette ville d’un peu plus d’une centaine de milliers d’habitants est située en plein centre du pays.</p>
<p><em>A short blog post for this second part of our sixth day: we arrived in Kandy. It&rsquo;s</em><em> a medium-size town (120.000 inhabitants) located in the center of the country.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_360" style="width: 720px;" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/map2.jpg"><img class="wp-image-360 size-full" src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/map2.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="540" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Kandy sur la carte du Sri Lanka</figcaption></figure>
<p><a title="Page WikiTravel" href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Kandy" target="_blank">Ici encore</a>, on trouve de nombreuses traces d’un lourd passé historique. Elle fut la capitale pendant plusieurs siècles donc logiquement on y trouvera un palais royal mais c’est le lac et surtout le temple de la dent de Buddha qui sont les lieux les plus populaires.<br />
Notre chauffeur nous amène sur les hauteurs de la ville et on découvre un panorama splendide.</p>
<p><em>Here again, we find many signs of a rich cultural background. Kandy was capital city for several centuries, so it&rsquo;s not a surprise to find a royal palace. Nevertheless, I would say the lake and especially the temple of the tooth (of Buddha) are the most popular places in town.</em></p>
<p><em>Our driver takes us to the heights of the city and we enjoy this great view&#8230;</em></p>
<figure id="attachment_346" style="width: 1000px;" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/0011.jpg"><img class="wp-image-346 size-full" src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/0011.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Mais c&rsquo;est superbe !!!</figcaption></figure>
<p>Bon ok, je pourrai vous faire croire que c’était aussi bluffant que ça mais en réalité, on avait une journée très grisâtre et cela ressemblait en fait plus à ça.</p>
<p><em>Ok, ok&#8230; The colours were actually far less amazing in reality. It was a very grey day and the view was more like this:</em></p>
<figure id="attachment_347" style="width: 1000px;" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/0021.jpg"><img class="wp-image-347 size-full" src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/0021.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Sans le HDR&#8230; Ok&#8230;</figcaption></figure>
<p>Pendant les quelques heures qui nous restent de lumière du jour, on va faire un tour tranquillement à pied autour du lac Bogambara (qui n’est finalement pas si grand que ça).</p>
<p><em>During the few remaining hours of day light, we will walk about the Bogambara lake which is not too large.</em></p>
<figure id="attachment_349" style="width: 1000px;" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/0041.jpg"><img class="wp-image-349 size-full" src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/0041.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="549" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Un immense Buddha se profile au lointain</figcaption></figure>

<p>Puis nous arrivons à notre hotel, le Queen’s hotel. C&rsquo;est un très bel établissement de style colonial, il vaut le coût.</p>
<p><em>We check in at the Queen&rsquo;s Hotel. It&rsquo;s a very nice place with interesting colonial architecture. Definitely worth the price.</em></p>

<p>Pour info, faire attention devant l’hotel, de nombreux arnaqueurs attendent la sortie des touristes (je ne me rappelle même plus du type d’arnaque mais c’était assez prévisible vue la concentration touristique du lieu).</p>
<p>On mange dans un restaurant en face du Park Torington, le Kandy Muslim Hotel. Au premier étage, la vue est plutôt sympa et la nourriture est excellente (raisonnablement épicée).</p>
<p><em>FYI, be advised that many scammers are waiting for the tourists in front of the hotel, (I do not even remember the type of scam but it was pretty predictable).</em></p>
<p><em>We find a cool restaurant in front of Torington Park, the Kandy Muslim Hotel. On the first floor, the view is quite nice and the food is excellent (reasonably spicy).</em></p>

<p>Demain on visitera le temple de la dent.</p>
<p><em>Tomorrow, we&rsquo;ll go see this Temple of the tooth <img src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-includes/images/smilies/simple-smile.png" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></em></p>

<p><em>We hit the road to Kandy and we make a stop in <a title="Wikipedia page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnawala_Elephant_Orphanage" target="_blank">Pinnawala at the elephant orphanage</a>. </em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>C’est un haut lieu touristique avec tout ce que cela implique. C’est donc la première fois que nous voyons autant de nos congénères depuis le début de notre périple.</p>
<p><em>It is a popular tourist destination with all you can imagine goes with it. It’s the first time we see so many tourists (yeah, including ourselves). </em></p>

<p>Autant le dire directement, la visite de cet “orphelinat” laisse un goût désagréable. Le traitement des animaux, s’il semble répondre aux réglementations, est pénible à voir. Je comprends bien que l’on ne “dirige” pas des bestioles de cette dimension avec des caresses, mais est-il bien nécessaire de les piquer de la sorte pour les faire s’approcher des touristes (qui évidemment donnera des pourboires).</p>
<p>Mouaih&#8230;<br />
<em>Let&rsquo;s say it directly, visiting this &laquo;&nbsp;orphanage&nbsp;&raquo; leaves an unpleasant taste. </em></p>
<p><em>I mean more particularly the treatment of animals, even if it seems to meet regulations, is an unpleasant show.  I understand you can’t conduct animals of this size with gentle caresses, but is it really necessary to use these halberds to move the elephants close to tourists (for tips, obviously). </em></p>
<p><em>Hmmm…</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On continue notre cinquième journée déjà bien fatigués et la visite de Sigiriya a mis la barre très haut. Mais on ne sera pas déçus par cette nouvelle étape.<br />
Polonnaruwa est un lieu riche en vestiges archéologiques et vous l’aurez compris si vous avez suivi les précédents posts, le Sri Lanka fait beaucoup (disons, autant que possible) pour mettre en valeur un patrimoine qui n’a rien a envier à l&rsquo;Egypte ou la Jordanie.</p>
<p><em>We continue this fifth day, already exhausted by the fantastic walk at Sigiriya this morning. But we will not be disappointed either this afternoon.</em><br />
<em>Polonnaruwa is a place full with archaeological wonders. If you followed the previous posts, you already know Sri Lanka tries hard to put in the best possible light an impressive cultural heritage. Nothing to envy to countries like the Egypt or Jordan.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_295" style="width: 720px;" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/map.jpg"><img class="wp-image-295 size-full" src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/map.jpg" alt="Carte/Map" width="720" height="540" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Carte/Map</figcaption></figure>
<p>Un peu d’histoire sur ce lien vers la page <a title="Wikipedia sur Polonnaruwa" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonn%C3%A2ruv%C3%A2" target="_blank">wikipedia</a> mais encore une fois, on trouvera plus de details sur le site <a title="Amazing Lanka" href="http://amazinglanka.com/wp/polonnaruwa/" target="_blank">AmazingLanka</a>.</p>
<p>Le site est très vaste et il faut être véhiculé pour aller d’un point à un autre. Comme la veille à Anuradhapura, notre conducteur nous négocie les services d’un guide (officiel ou en tout cas on pourrait presque le croire car il est dans le centre d’accueil touristique). On se déplacera à 4 ou 5 endroits différents en quelques heures, sous un soleil accablant.</p>
<p><em>A little bit of history available on <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonnaruwa" target="_blank">wikipedia</a> but again, we&rsquo;ll find much more details on <a title="Amazing Lanka" href="http://amazinglanka.com/wp/polonnaruwa/" target="_blank">AmazingLanka</a>.</em></p>
<p><em>Polonnaruwa is a very large site and it&rsquo;s necessary to use a car to get from one point to another. Like he did in Anuradhapura, our van driver negotiates the services of a guide (a legit or at least one it seems so, because he was in the tourist information center). We will visit to 4 or 5 different places within a few hours under the hot sun.</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pour commencer cette cinquième journée, nous allons visiter un autre haut-lieu de l&rsquo;archéologie sri-lankaise: <a title="WikiTravel Sigiriya" href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Sigiriya" target="_blank">Sigiriya</a>, le rocher Lion.</p>
<p><em>We start our fifth day with another landmark of the Sri Lankan archeology: <a title="Sigiriya wikitravel page" href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Sigiriya" target="_blank">Sigiriya</a>, the Lion rock.</em></p>
<figure id="attachment_254" style="width: 500px;" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Sigiriya-map.jpg"><img class="wp-image-254 size-full" src="http://lostagain.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Sigiriya-map.jpg" alt="Sigiriya-map" width="500" height="496" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Sigiriya Map</figcaption></figure>
<p><a title="Sigiriya wiki page" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigir%C3%AEya" target="_blank">Sigiriya</a> est un gros rocher de 180 mètres de haut où l&rsquo;on trouve les ruines d’une ancienne citadelle. L’histoire exacte du site est incertaine. Une des légendes voudrait que ce soit une forteresse construite par un roi paranoïaque, Kassapa (ou Kassyapa). Après avoir tué son père, il aurait dérobé le pouvoir à son grand frère, successeur légitime. Ce dernier, contraint à l’exil, aurait monté une armée en Inde et serait revenu une vingtaine d&rsquo;années après. Dans l&rsquo;attente, reclus sur son rocher, Kassapa aurait vécu une vie de luxure, entouré de (1000) courtisanes. Pendant ces 20 ans, il se serait préparé à la guerre, se construisant une citadelle imprenable. Mais, il aurait tout simplement oublié un moyen d’approvisionnement en nourriture en cas de siège. Après une semaine de diète, il se rendait aux troupes de son grand frère et il était exécuté.</p>
<p>Cette légende est probablement très fantaisiste mais elle illustre bien la difficulté d’accès au rocher. Et ce jour, il fait très chaud.</p>
<p><em>Sigiriya is a 180 meters high rock and used to be the base of an ancient citadel. Its exact history is uncertain. One of the legends says it would be a fortress built by the paranoid King Kassapa (or Kassyapa). After killing his father, he overruled his big brother, the legitimate successor. The latter was forced into exile into India where he gathered an army and returned some twenty years later. In the meantime, Kassapa had lived a life of luxury, surrounded by (1000) courtesans. He had 20 years to prepare for war, building up an impregnable citadel. But it simply forgot food supply in case of siege. After a week of dieting, he surrendered to his big brother and was executed.</em></p>
<p><em>Probably nothing true in this legend but it illustrates the difficulty of reach the top of this rock. And that day, it is very hot.</em></p>
<p>On arrive par l&rsquo;entrée centrale et l&rsquo;on refuse l&rsquo;offre de notre guide de nous faire rentrer par un chemin détourné (et ainsi gagner quelques euros, pffff&#8230;). Le rocher se profile au loin.</p>
<p><em>We arrive at the main gate entrance and turn down our guide&rsquo;s offer to take a &laquo;&nbsp;free short route&nbsp;&raquo; (to save a few euros? Seriously?). The rock is waiting for us in the distance.</em></p>

<p><em>We arrive at the Lion claws, still very well preserved too. And more steps. If you&rsquo;re not physically fit, the climb will be difficult. I think here about the disabled and elderly, with this heat and steps of irregular sizes, reaching the top will be challenging.</em></p>

<p>Le site du rocher de Sigiriya est un des plus beaux moments de ce trip au Sri Lanka. Il y a quelque chose de particulier dans ces lieux et j&rsquo;en garde un souvenir fort. A ne pas rater donc. Un seul conseil, venez tôt et prenez de l&rsquo;eau. Il y a peu d&rsquo;ombre et l&rsquo;ascension peut être &laquo;&nbsp;chaude&nbsp;&raquo;.</p>
<p><em>Visiting Sigiriya rock was one of my favorite moments of this Sri Lankan trip. There is something special about it, difficult to describe. One single advise: come early and don&rsquo;t forget your bottle of water.</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On perd un membre de l’équipe ce matin, victime d’une vilaine indigestion, elle préfèrera rester à l’hôtel pour la journée. C’est donc à deux seulement que nous partirons visiter <a title="Anuradhapura wiki page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuradhapura" target="_blank">Anuradhapura</a>.</p>
<p>Il faut 80 km de route et presque 1h30 pour rejoindre l’ancienne cité impériale.</p>
<p><em>We lost a team member this morning, victim of a nasty indigestion, she prefers to stay in the hotel for the day. So we’ll be just the two of us to visit <a title="Anuradhapura wiki page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuradhapura" target="_blank">Anuradhapura</a> today. </em></p>
<p><em>80 km of road and almost 1h30 later, we reach the ancient imperial city. </em></p>

<p>Une fois sur place, notre chauffeur négocie un guide local. Il est indispensable d’avoir un moyen de locomotion pour visiter les différents sites. Certains font ça en vélo, mais nous sommes plus fainéants ce sera en TukTuk et surtout, on bénéficie du guide pour le prix. En l’occurrence, un ancien archéologue. Oui, je sais, cela semble être un gros pipeau présenté ainsi, mais le bonhomme avait réellement une connaissance encyclopédique des lieux. Il expliquait qu’il avait du renoncer à ce job suite à une réduction de tous les budgets de l’état relatifs à la préservation du patrimoine, en particulier des services archéologiques. Au final, il gagnait bien plus ainsi.</p>
<p><em>In the parking lot, our driver negotiates a local guide. The various sites are quite distant from each other, you need a bike or a tuktuk to visit. And for the price of the transport, we’ll also have the guide. For instance, a former archaeologist. Yes, I know… It sounds like a total bullshit. He explained that he had to give up the job after a cut of all state budgets related to heritage preservation, particularly in the archaeological department. True or not, the guy had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the area and he did a great job with us this day.</em></p>
<p>Au cours des ces quelques heures à Anuradhapura, on verra une petite dizaine de sites. Je mets en lien les pages super-documentées du site Amazinglanka.com,  le plus complet que j&rsquo;ai trouvé sur le sujet.</p>
<p><em>During those few hours in Anuradhapura, we&rsquo;ve seen at least 9 sites (based on the pictures we took). For each place, I linked to the web site Amazinglanka.com, by far the best I found on the topic.</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ce matin, nous rencontrons notre chauffeur. Il va nous accompagner jusqu&rsquo;à Dambulla puis autour de cette ville où nous graviterons pendant quelques jours. Colombo – Dambulla, c’est 150km et presque trois heures de route.</p>
<p><em>This morning, we meet our driver. He will accompany us to Dambulla which will be our base camp for a few days. A road trip Colombo &#8211; Dambulla is around 150km and takes almost three hours.</em></p>

<p>Et la route au Sri Lanka est une expérience très intéressante, par moment terrifiante. La règle est simple, c’est la loi du plus gros.</p>
<p>Dans l’ordre hiérarchique, il y a:</p>
<ul>
<li>le bus et le gros camion,</li>
<li>puis le petit camion,</li>
<li>puis le minibus ou le gros 4&#215;4,</li>
<li>puis la voiture,</li>
<li>puis la moto,</li>
<li>puis le vélo</li>
<li>et enfin le piéton.</li>
</ul>
<p>Et la règle c’est simple, si un plus gros arrive en face de toi, tu t&rsquo;échappes sur le bas-côté pour le laisser passer.</p>
<p><em>Driving in Sri Lanka is a very interesting experience and at times terrifying. A driver / guide is probably the smartest option.</em></p>
<p><em>The rule on the road is simple, it is the law of the biggest. In order:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>bus and large truck, </em></li>
<li><em>then small truck, </em></li>
<li><em>minibus or large 4&#215;4, </em></li>
<li><em>car, </em></li>
<li><em>motorbike, </em></li>
<li><em>bike </em></li>
<li><em>and finally the pedestrian. </em></li>
</ul>
<p><em>The rule is simple, if a bigger than you appears, you drive/run/crawl on the roadside to let it go. </em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Notre chauffeur semble bien maitriser cette jungle et nous amène sans encombre a Dambulla et à son Rock Temple. En bas de cette colline, on trouve un énorme bouddha doré et un temple des plus kitchs. Le sens de la montée nous est indiqué par un petit singe et on gravit les grandes marches en quelques minutes.</p>
<p><em>Our driver seems to master this jungle and brings us safely to Dambulla Rock Temple. At the bottom of this rock, a huge golden Buddha and it’s very flashy temple. A monkey indicates uphill direction and we walk the steep steps in a few minutes. </em></p>

<p>En haut, il faut s’acquitter d’un droit d’entrée et comme les jambes nues sont interdites, il faut louer une étoffe pour couvrir shorts et jupes. Une fois les chaussures enlevées, les pavés sont brulants et on cherche en urgence les zones d’ombre.</p>

<p>C’est un site vraiment fascinant et extrêmement bien restauré car <a title="Dambulla Cave Temple wiki page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambulla_cave_temple">il date de plusieurs millénaires</a>. C’est un des aspects peut être méconnu du Sri Lanka, son patrimoine historique est digne de celui de l’Egypte et l’exemple de ce site classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO est parfait : ils ont retrouve des traces datant de 2700 ans.</p>
<p>Il y a cinq principales cavernes sur ce site et chacune est remplie de temples et de statues de Bouddhas. L’intérieur des cavernes est en réalité assez sombre et les photos présentées ici ont été réalisées avec une exposition longue. C’est néanmoins superbes.</p>
<p><em>This is a truly fascinating and extremely well restored site. <a title="Dambulla Cave Temple wiki page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambulla_cave_temple" target="_blank">We are talking about several millennia here</a>. It’s probably one aspect most people ignore about Sri Lanka, its cultural heritage is comparable to Egypt. The example of this UNESCO ‘s World Heritage Site is perfect: they found vestiges dating BC (and 2700 year old bones).</em></p>
<p><em>Five main caves can be visited on this site. Inside, we find shrines/temples and statues of Buddhas. It’s actually quite dark inside and photos presented here were taken with a long exposure. Nevertheless, it’s superb and I loved the place.</em></p>

<p>On a fait un voyage en famille à trois, avec soeurette et beau-frère. Ils arrivaient de Nouvelle-Zélande et moi de Paris via Dubaï. L’occasion de m’extasier une nouvelle fois sur Emirates et la qualité de leur classe éco (de plus l’offre la moins chère pour rejoindre Colombo).</p>
<p><em>I traveled with my lil’sis and my brother-in-law. We arrived from New Zealand and from Paris via Dubai. </em><em>I can never praise enough Emirates economy class quality : it was the  least expensive option to reach Colombo but more, seat, food and the overall service were excellent (if you are used to travel with US airlines companies, you can&rsquo;t even imagine what I’m talking about here, it’s just a different world).</em></p>

Check-in rapide à l’hôtel Renuka et on se dirige vers la place « <a title="Galle Face Green" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galle_Face" target="_blank">Galle Face Green</a> ». Des militaires font du sport dans la chaleur alors que beaucoup de gens jouent aux cerfs-volants. C’est globalement pas épatant et on ne trainera pas tard ce soir. Le bar-terrasse du « <a title="Galle Face Hotel wiki page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galle_Face_Hotel" target="_blank">Galle Face Hotel</a> » offre un décor très sympa et on y restera pour bières et diner.</p>

<p>Le lendemain nous entamons notre journée de visite de Colombo avec une marche vers le nord sur la Galle Road. Là non plus, la Galle Face Drive n’offre pas une ballade épatante. Beaucoup de zones sont en construction ou en travaux.</p>

<p>On se rapproche du palais présidentiel, les rues sont interdites d’accès, on sent une forte présence militaire. Nous trainons alors dans le quartier du « <a title="Colombo Fort" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_(Colombo)" target="_blank">Colombo fort</a> ».

<p>Après s’être fait gentiment arnaqué par un TukTuk qui refusa de prendre la route qu’on lui demandait et nous a fait faire un tour de la ville (le prix de la course restant néanmoins dérisoire une fois converti en euros), on finit la journée dans un centre commercial pour un <a title="Foot Rub" href="https://foursquare.com/v/foot-rub/4fcc6023e4b06c8db412ca19" target="_blank">massage des pieds</a> et un restau.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Non, je ne suis pas un “voyageur”. Tout au plus un touriste. Ou un curieux occasionnel qui profite d’un déplacement professionnel pour visiter les alentours. Si je ne suis pas bien fier de mon bilan carbone, j’avoue que j’aime voyager probablement plus que tout autre chose.<br />
Et ceci est mon carnet de route. Des photos, pas toujours parfaites, et quelques notes sur le trajet.</p>
<p>Que ce soit un séjour de plusieurs semaines ou juste un week-end, il y en aura pour tous les goûts. Mais je ne me fais aucune illusion sur le trafic généré par un tel blog (tlog pour travel log?). Il n&rsquo;existe que pour mon plaisir et tout au plus pour quelques amis ou membres de la famille.</p>
<p>Je ne prétends en rien expliquer ici qu’il est primordial de s’ouvrir aux autres, que seules les rencontres font les voyages, etc. Encore moins, je ne vous dirai que les trips à la “roots” sont dignes d’être mentionnés. Bien au contraire, j’aime les villes. Les mégalopoles bondées et au bon monoxyde d’azote. J’aime une bonne douche chaque soir et pas d’insectes rampants sous mes draps. Et je suis généralement vite agacé par les discours moralisateurs des « voyageurs » aventuriers.</p>
<p>Et pourquoi<a title="Lost Again" href="http://lostagain.com"> lostagain.fr</a>? D’abord, parce que <em>lostagain.com</em> était réservé sur un site parking (le prix demandé par le cybersquatteur n’est pas moins de 10.000$ avant négociation) et surtout parce que je suis affublé du plus mauvais sens de l’orientation du monde. Même aidé d’un GPS ou d’un smartphone avec GoogleMaps, je me perds TOUT le temps. C’est presque devenu une marque de fabrique. Et si c’est handicapant quand j’ai besoin d’être à l’heure à un rendez-vous, c’est aussi l’occasion de tomber sur des endroits inattendus quand je voyage.</p>
<p>Mais commençons par un petit quizz, voici 52 photos, pourrez-vous identifier ces endroits? Certaines sont évidentes, d’autres un peu moins. Au plaisir de vous lire dans les commentaires.</p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>No, I&rsquo;m not a &laquo;&nbsp;traveler&nbsp;&raquo;. At best, I&rsquo;m a tourist. Or an occasional curious, using a business trip opportunity to visit around. If I am not very proud of my carbon footprint, I confess that I love travels probably more than anything else.</p>
<p>So that&rsquo;s my travel log. You&rsquo;ll find here some badly composed and framed pictures, and some travel notes.</p>
<p>It could be about a several weeks trip or just a weekend.</p>
<p>But I have no unrealistic expectations about the traffic this blog will generated. I only publish it for my own pleasure and may be for a few friends or family members.</p>
<p>I do not pretend to explain or teach that is important to open up to others, that only encounters make the travel worthy, etc. No &laquo;&nbsp;adventure in the wild&nbsp;&raquo; here. On the contrary, I love cities. Crowded and polluted megacities. I love a nice shower every night at the hotel and no insects crawling under my sheets. And I&rsquo;m usually quickly annoyed by moralistic &laquo;&nbsp;travelers&nbsp;&raquo; adventurers talks.</p>
<p>Why Lostagain.fr, you may ask? Even, if you don&rsquo;t, let me explain:<br />
First, because lostagain.com cost $ 10,000 (I asked the cybersquatting site owning it). Second, because my sense of direction is poor at a point of being ridiculous . Even assisted with GPS or GoogleMaps, I get lost ALL the time. It has almost become a trademark. And if it&rsquo;s annoying when I need to be on time at an appointment, it is also an opportunity to come across unexpected places when I travel.</p>
<p>But let&rsquo;s start with a little quiz, here are 52 photos: can you identify these places? Some are obvious, others less so.</p>
<p>Hope to read you in the comments.</p>
