So today was my last day in London....I am finally starting to get used to the time change!  Hurrah! I have learned lots of new terminology here in London....London is such a fun city. It is very diverse.  It seems that almost everything goes and everyone is up to date on the latest fash…

I start the day with the sort walk down to the Winter Palace to for a visit to the museum. The place is so famous for all the art they have on display so I figure it is time to be really civilized and cultural. I get to the counter and pay - unfortunately my Russian is pretty bad ok non-exist…

The wake up was so funny, shaking Sylvie to wake up and she saying "mmmmm 5 minutes more...", I feel like her mother ha ha ha  Ket was also wake up so 15 minutes later I open the windows and everybody wake up I'm MAD I know Ket have to take the train back home so I have a shower, a…

The last two weeks the 19 historic windmills, which are listed at the UNESCO world heritage site, were spectacularly lit with colourful and energy-efficient LED lighting. This year was the first that these lights are being used. The lights are from Philips and they were installed by the TU (Techn…

I somewhat reluctantly checked out my hotel in Nice this morning. It always seems that by the time I figure out how things (trams, metros, buses, etc) work its time to leave. Oh well, guess I'll be ready for the next time I visit. When its warmer of course.  Anyway, I found my way to the Kiss-…

I got a message recently from Adrian (hancock826) asking me about a picture she had taken in Italy.  She had a great panoramic shot of the Colosseum and wanted my advice on how to get rid of a couple of white vans that rather detracted from the photo.  She is quite familiar with photoshop…

Heading to London should become an unforgettable trip to one of the most popular metropolises in Europe!   No doubt, I had heard more than a couple of interesting facts about this place but seeing a busy, exciting and multi-faceted city like London with my own eyes was the welcome chance of …

Again it was a sunny day when we left for Heidelberg on Friday. First I picked up Ket at the railwaystation in my hometown Zutphen. From there we drove to Zieuwent where Jos lives. He knew the exact shortcut from his house to the German Autobahn. Up to Düsseldorf to pick up Lauro. We know he likes…

We got up, had breakfast and checked out of our hostel. I was pissed off with my nights lack of sleep and not looking forward to travelling to Paris. I soon perked  up a bit though. We were on our way to Paris today, where we'd spend 3 nights celebrating Loris birthday and Bastille day, a…

Just before New Year last year Bill wrote to me that he was coming to Brussels and asked if we could go for a beer one day, probably shortly after New Year. I was naturally okay with the idea and just waited for the call when he arrived. When he called he was together with Eric another TB. We agre…

I don't know where to begin. Honestly, I really don't know. So I'll just pick a random date and that random date turns out to be the day after my last day of work. But I will be skipping a lot of emotional moments here and not just because I can hardly remember the details but also because it's too…

Its the day before the big day and i've done my research about what to do in Reykjavik. The thing is i don't think one can really get the perfect information on what to see until you ask local people so once i get there i'll do some asking around:) I have already booked my Super Jeep Tour for Tuesd…

    My niece had a white, long haired cat, who gave birth to 5 adorable little kittens August 22 2007. She sent me a picture of them and I told her I wanted one of them. Preferably a female kitten. She then picked one out for me, and she kept sending me cellphone picture of her as she g…

The tour bus pulled back into Dublin at about 6 in the evening, and awe all got off and went our separate ways.  I wanted to go to Scotland tomorrow, but I actually had no way of getting there, I had not even booked my flight!  So, I headed into an internet cafe and searched RyanAir. …

It is December and I am getting way too tired by the short days and constant bad weather in Denmark. I need to get away to some place with longer days more sunshine and higher temperatures. For the sunlight something like New Zealand, Tasmania, Antarctica or the southern parts of Chile and Arg…
