I visited Cote D'Ivoire in November 2018 , specifically the beaches in Assinie. Assinie is a resort town located in the south eastern part of Ivory Coast. Along with the beautiful Caribbean feel like beaches they also have a lagoon part that runs almost parallel to the beach. In terms of things to do; there is a National park where you can enjoy bird watching, and zoo. I strongly recommend to spend some days at Ehotile Lodge, O Sole Mio, Rip Curl or Sabbat Plage.
Assinie is a secret gem , i was so amazed upon arrival . Literally felt like i was in the Caribbean , clear blue waters, palm trees and white clean beaches. Local food was to die for ! everything was fresh and organic.
Lobsters and shrimps were delicious and cheap.
The only con is the accessibility , it is about two hours from the airport and can cost up to $100 plus dollars via cab or private transport to reach. Overall worth the trip
I visited Capri in August and i must say it lived up to expectations. It is defiantly one of those locations that one most visit at least once in their lifetime. The island is simply magical from the electric blue waters to the natural landscaping is simply divine.
Pros
1. Beautiful scenery and landcaping
2. Delicious food options such as authentic Italian food ex: (Insalata Caprese which is a traditional cheese dish served with fresh diced tomatoes, olivies and olive oil is a must have)
3. Capri Rooftop Lounge is an amazing location that gives you a full view of the island . Great music and drinks .
4. Capri Perfume factory is also a great location to visit also known as Carthusia makes unique perfume . They have been in production since 1948.
5. in terms of historical sites Via Krupp is a historic switchback paved footpath on the island of Capri which is also close to the gardens. Amazing spot for photos .
Cons
1. It is extremely expensive !
2. As a black tourist it was awkward all eyes were on me. Some people actually thought i was a celebrity given the fact that black tourist are rare.
3. Capri can only be accessed by boat or ferry
4. i would not recomend visit in the month of august because it was very crowded and hot .
Overall it was a great experience !
