Luanda harbour and surroundings...
Count the ships...
Don't forget: At this time, Angola owns the biggest economic growth in the world (I've read this on a newspaper while in Angola).

Can you read it? Yes, it's "Jumbo", the supermarket.
On the end of this avenue there's the "Agostinho Neto"'s statue
(the former Angola president).

An finally, when I was on the queue to get my OK on my passport...
A sound...
A different sound slowly became louder!

The very first time I saw an IL18 live, and preparing for take-off! :)
