Gerben worked a lot to finish the houseboat in Groningen. Went with him and Dee for a day to look at the city. The old part is quite nice, and there is a lot to see.

Visited Dee and Gerben in Spring in Amsterdam. Now they are back in Mirns – a good time to come over for a week and enjoy the quiet countryside.Got another one of the less than 100€ Euro travel train tickets both ways. Early in the morning, I got up and walked down to the bus…
Lily surfed my couch for a few days in late August 2017. We took a small road trip over the weekend: Black Forrest, Switzerland, for a beer, France, and back again. We stopped in Belfort for the night, and I stayed in the Brit Hotel Belfort Black Forrest Calw Calw Freudenstadt Movelier Quick beer stop…

My original travel arrangements did not work out, so I asked Anja if she could give me shelter for the first two weeks of August. She has her place inside the old part of Konstanz, “at the lake” as we like to call Lake Constance. Got a confirmation a few minutes later and booked my…
Movelier Once again, I visited Lara and Chris in Movelier – a small village in the corner between France and Germany. It is the poorest part of Switzerland, mostly farmers, and the people speak French. Last time, Lara told me about her neighbor, who is an Absinthe connoisseur. This time, we went over to his…
After a relaxing week at Roberta’s place, I was off to the airport for my flight to Barcelona. The party at the Olive Farm. Julie and Kaveh invited a few more friends from all over the place and all the local friends they have. Took the train to the airport and checked my big bag…
Took the bus from Málaga to Marbella in the afternoon. A pleasant ride down on the highway along the coast and in the yellow mountains next to it. Arrived in the late afternoon and had to wait only a few minutes for Roberta, who picked me up in the car. She has an apartment in…
This is the second part of the Málaga pictures. You find Part 1 here. I only had a few hours because I have a bus to catch down to Marbella to meet Roberta. So let’s finish the walk with the Alcazaba of Málaga. Come and take a look! Iglesia del Sagrado Corazon Wedding On the…
Why would I go to Spain in the hot season? I would not! But Julie and Kaveh had a party and invited me. The catch was: “We get married,” which turned out not to be true! And since I wanted to visit Roberta for a few years now, why not do that as well? On…

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…
