Groningen Travel Blogs

It was around 5 pm that we finally made it to Tim's house in Groningen, almost two hours later than anticipated due to the awful traffic around Kiel and Hamburg. I went straight on, pushing the last 200 km stretch eager to get home. As I said before, in hindsight taking the car probably wasn'…

Never thought that I could scream this load, I scared myself. It all started monday after I was free from work. On the bicycle I saw something beautiful what I want to photograph. It was a pasture with beautiful air. Only that pasture had a small ditch between the road. And on the way there this wa…

The exhibition from May 17th  until September 20th 2009 is organised by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in cooperation with the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Fototeca de Cuba from Havana.   See the photos for an impression of this exhibition. Besides the exhibition the build…

Ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen: Ich habe mich verliebt. Sie ist klein aber nicht zu klein, groß aber nicht zu groß. Sie ist ruhig und gemütlich, kann aber auch richtig feiern. Sie ist wunderschön und auch im Winter grün. Ich habe mich bei ihr so wohl gefühlt, dass ich am liebsten nie wieder weg…

Thursday we woke up at a reasonable hour.  Most of the family was off to work already, but Jena, Eva, Mr Annema and I sat down to yet another traditional Dutch breakfast.  And in case my description of Wednesday's breakfast wasn't detailed enough, here we go again:  First of all, a g…

De aankomst was in Tanger, over zee. In afwachting van de problematische paspoortcontrole, stonden we na twee minuten in Tanger. Op vrije voeten! Geen mens nam de moeite ons paspoort te bekijken! Dus werd het tijd onze eerste blik op Marokko te werpen, het land van duizend en één nacht. Een muur.…

The next day, with a hangover, to the airport. Wishing everybody a goodbye and we went off. Somehow releaved and disorientated when I got back at the railstation in Groningen. Taking my bike to Groningen South. Dropped all stuff, take a last picture and then go to bed. Dreaming....

One of the large student city of the Netherlands. Much to see en and even more to do!

After 2.5 weeks without TB :) I could finally plugin again. Probably I am not addicted at all :). Anyhow, you may expect (of course) full report of this 'adventurous' trip, but it will takes some time to download, delete and order all these pics. Not to mention all the thoughts, events an…

Just one day left.. Packing bags, a sleeping bag, sleeping mattresses and of course our tent, but also ...  a suit! Sandrien's father, Jan, will pick us up in a few moments to bring us to Apeldoorn. That's why I'm bringing a suit: first we have to go to the 55-year wedding anniversary of Sandr…

I have been thinking about the name for this blog. Maybe I should rename it as I seem to be writing about a lot more than Meppel. Anyway, I guess it is more a blog about my life now and people will find what they think is interesting enough to read about I guess. Today I went to Groningen with my …

Oh mensen, ik ben inmiddels alweer anderhalve week terug in Nederland, maar wat mis ik Gambia! Het is raar om mijn vrienden en collega's tegen te komen zonder een handje te schudden, het is raar dat het regent en het is raar dat er niet om de tien meter iemand is die me vraagt hoe het gaat, wat ik …

After all, we gonna pay our booking tomorrow and realising that we are passing the point of no return. And it feels good. As long the influenza outbreak does not reach our work and the percentage sickness does not reach a 10 or so, there will not be a call-back procedure. We are not gonna presume …

Netherlands!
