Such a good feeling having passed my “Riding Needle”. Happy that I didn’t fall off the horse or made too big mistakes.

 

Good boy Joker.

 
 

a friendship that lasts

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies. Just out of the blue there comes a moment where you realise, to be blessed with the gift of friendship. It lays on the agony, your heart and soul warm up. A friend is the one who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Essentials - the friends

on a long trip, perhaps photos of family, friends and loved ones are great to stave off homesickness that can hit me all at times.

 

 

well, my girls, here you're always close to the action and present with me on the road...

nice hints

+ Tip for women - many bras have little pouches inside for putting in extra padding. A far better use for these is as a money belt substitute - while you can't really put your passport in there (or at least I can't) it's great for money and small documents and feels a little more glamorous than a hot belt round your waist!

what if my dear mom wants to chat with me and I'm not currently sitting in front of my macbook/skype, or I intend to use my mobile a lot, really the best bet is to buy a local pay-as-you-go SIM card.
first of all I have to unlock my mobile if I plan to use it ;-) *g*

xxx hup holland hup xxx

had a wonderfull weekend in holland - amsterdam, nijmwegen, nieuwegein and weeze.

4 days of wavesurfing, western horseriding, wakeboarding, longboarding, sightseeing and of course going out celebrating and enjoying the night.

gave me a more than 3 days suffer from stiff and sore muscles ;-)

beside all the partying and being 'heel erg gezellig', there still was some time for cosiness, hot chocolate and of course ben&jerry's ice cream. yummy yummy I got love in my tummy.

looking forward for a 5th time in holland and it's nice dutch folks.

thanks and kiss to maike, kasper and andries xxx
