The ultimate party: Carnival in Angola

Celebrating carnival in Africa is perhaps not the first place that comes to mind when we talk about carnivals, but we have found the most unique place. In Angola, situated on the Atlantic Ocean opposite Brazil (and also a former Portuguese colony), carnival is the biggest celebration of the year. Expect celebrations, colours, alcohol and lots of fun! But sssssssht! Don't tell anyone!

As our daughter wanted to visit her native country to meet her biological mother, we booked this trip to Haiti. We knew beforehand that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not allow us to travel to Haiti. The country has code Orange. This did not stop us from going anyway. We did not regret it for a moment.
