I like to travel, and I like to snap pictures!

My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you!
Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.

Nieuwendammerdijk is a dyke or dam in the Northern IJdijk between Buiksloot and Schellingwoude. On my way from the camp ground to Amsterdam down town I crossed it to get to the ferry. Nieuwendam founded in 1514 after one of the dykes broke. At the time the dyke lay between the IJ river and fields….

Off to a Dutch Wedding

Stuttgart Airport Bus Station. Since some guys with not too much brain decided to build a new train station we have now 3 different bus stations in Stuttgart. And they are all in the middle of nowhere. This one makes sense if you want to take a bus to the airport. But that is it….

A few Pix from my 2nd Day in Amsterdam
ByMarc Hastenteufel July 25, 2011
No pictures from the 1st day as it did rain and rain and rain. The next day there was some sun mixed with clouds but it was way more fun to go out and take some snaps in Amsterdam.

Cows and a few Pictures of Amsterdam
ByMarc Hastenteufel August 4, 2016February 14, 2019
Today Gerben took us to see some of the reclaimed land. The Dutch water management is like no other on the planet. There are pumps everywhere and water as well. Often you have on one site of the street water a metre below and on the other only a few centimetres from street level. Half…

The Netherlands early Summer 2017 – Edam
ByMarc Hastenteufel December 14, 2017December 12, 2025
From the campground to Edam or Amsterdam takes about the same time by bicycle. And I was so many times in Amsterdam, but only once in Edam – so it was Edam today. You pedal in the general direction until you pass a signpost with the bike routes on it. Now you find your number…
