We started early for a Sunday morning.  My partner Rob was determined to see the tulip fields and the Keukenhof gardens this year.  We had been warned that the lines just to drive in were long.  Since the gardens are only open from mid-March thru early May it is a very busy place.&nb…

A bit of sightseeing in Kampen and visiting the city museum of Kampen

Back in the Netherlands for the rest of January before flying to Taiwan to learn about my new job and do some apartment hunting. Not much of consequence during this time...except one of the most incredible Super Bowls I have ever seen!  Way to Go, Steelers!!!

Today I went to a mini meet-up in Kampen organised by JP-NED (Jan). As Kampen is one of the Hanseatic cities (Hanzesteden) the attendees started a discussion about which cities in The Netherlands are Hanzesteden. Most thought there were about five of them so when I had some time on m…

Valentine meetup in Leiden, organised by Anna, Keiko and Dennis. "We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend"

Almost back in Holland. We wake up without a call, get ready for that great breakfast. Then we get to look out over the see: is there land ahead? Yes, almost home!

Breda is located in the south of holland in the…

First Dutch version then English version below and as last you will find the Spanish version: In de ochtend pak ik mijn laatste spullen zoals toilettas en reispapieren. Ik maak het huis vertrekklaar en draag de sleutel over aan de buren. In de middag rij ik richting achterhoek om met Jos naar Duss…

So here I am, 16 months after my last visit to Australia, ready to go back and enjoy life. I've worked hard for this trip, but I'm sure it was worth it. I've worked at the Comedy Cafe in Amsterdam fulltime for the last five months, met great people and generally had a good time. I made some good fr…

Normaly you have to take a lot of pictures, but Miriam and i do take pictures but they are so very stupid it is not possible to publish them. Although i will give you an example by what i mean!

Feel free to skip this message it will be just a little rant. Wherever I go people seem to assume that everybody in Belgium speaks either French or "Belgian" or, in the very rare best case scenario also "Flemish" which is supposed to be something completely different than Dutch. Now of course I …
