Tomorrow is the day Inge and I have been looking forward too since we decided to go travelling together. We are going to Finland!! I've known Inge since we were 10 years old and I think from the age of 12 Inge has been crazy about Finland, she wouldn't talk about anything that had nothing to do with Finland ;) So when we were talking about Finland, I think 6 months ago, both of us said it was (still) on our dreamlist. We decided we had to visit Finland this...

Because my cake is in the oven and I'm very hungry. I want to tell you something about food in Holland. If you are anywhere in Holland and you are hungry, go to the FRIETTENT / CAFETARIA / SNACKBAR (3 different names for the same thing). What can you eat there? Of course fries in Dutch FRIET (Belgium or French) with mayonais, ketchup or whatever you like. I prefer Friet satesaus met mayo. It's delicous. Friet speciaal is also nice. It's friet with curry sauce, onion and mayonais. F...

Since I started travellling to Eindhoven in 2004, PSV has won the championship three years in a row.  Going into the finals weeks of the season, it looked like a sure thing to happen again. On April 13 we had a false alarm as PSV only managed to pull off a tie and was therefore unable to clinch the championship over 020 (not allowed to say the team name or Vosking will not speak to me!)  This was such a shame, as the entire town was decked out and ready to party!  As this was ...

Yes! It's finally done! We've booked (and paid, but that's another matter...I'm now a poor man again) for our flights and we're now in the process of looking at hostels, hotels and other accommodations... The definite schedule has changed a bit from my last update, so here it is again. Hopefully we won't have to change anything anymore, I'm reaaaaalllyyy looking forward to this... :D 17 Oct. - departure 18 Oct. - arrival Sydney 18-30 Oct. - Australia (Sydney – Brisbane and in between) ...

So, I arrived in Eindhoven after 5pm on the train.  I didn't have reservations for a hotel, and the travel buero was closed at that time.  I guess I have to look for one by myself.  Not a problem!  I walk through the city, while it is getting dark, looking for a hotel to stay at!  Not really a problem for me, but I am starting to get desperate at about 7pm.  I go to a hotel that is really shabby and ask if they have a room.  They do not, but might be able t...

Not a very original topic, but I've been noticing a recurring theme in many of my blogs and photos where Beer is playing a prominent part, so I will try to show some of the many brews I have tried throughout my travels, and when I can, will try to give reviews of them as well...
