I think I posted some nice photos from picturesque Leiden, a few k south of Amsterdam, a while ago. Here’s some more, I’m very happy that I get to go there at least a few times more. They have arses with eyes, super cute rat lamps and the lovely Boutique Hotel Huys van Leyden is…
Easter Bunnys
Easter happened quite early this year. And we’d made the decision to go visit the good old British Empire for one last time, before they depart from this world and move to their own fantasy reality. 😀 So, off to London on Friday, and of course it was raining. More or less all the time.…
Year of the Dog, part II
Our last day in Singapore, a lazy start after the craziness of CNY celebrations the night before. Went for a walk and then to see Black Panther at the Shaw/Lido Imax. My favorite cinema in Singapore. And hey, we even got a secret super Marvel Black Panther medal with our tickets! So proud, so happy!…
Angel of Death – Infinity Wars, here I come!
Motherfucker. Singapore rocks. I even grew a pair of wings. Now I’m unstoppable and will join the Avengers to fight Thanos!!! #TeamCapForever
Year of the Dog
We arrived at the right time, on (Chinese) New Year’s Eve. That meant some of the eatery choices were a bit limited, but even on a day like this Singapore has to offer so much … . So, we had a supernice breakfast at “Plentyfull” (Millenia Walk) and then another great lunch at “Sufood” (Raffles…
Leaving NZ
I’ve already fallen behind again, but rest assured, you haven’t missed too much. After four very nice days in Ohope, we drove across the Island to spend our last night in Piha. I still remember very fondly the beach and the waves I was enjoying a few years ago together with my faithful Harald, his…
Ohope Beach / Whakatane
Fourth time we come to this wonderful, fantastic, beautiful, quiet, relaxed, marvelous, paradisical spot. Probably fair to say that this is our favorite place in NZ. I’ve written about Ohope so many times, so I won’t repeat myself. 11km of wonderful, almost empty, sandy beach. Nice surf. Great food. Lovely ice cream. Berry orchards. Macadamia…
Tongariro Northern Circuit
We left beautiful Cape Palliser with a heavy heart early Wednesday morning for the long drive to Whakapapa Village, which is the starting point for the Tongariro Northern Circuit multi-day hike. We took it slow, meandering through the Hutt Valley and the took the Manawatu scenic route, very beautiful and definitely a spot we need…
Cape Palliser
Remote, rugged, beautiful. Cape Palliser. That’s were we headed to Monday morning, taking it slow through the Hutt Valley and then a superbly scenic drive down to and along the coast. Wow. It’s really hard to stay focussed on the road here with fantastic ocean views on the one side and sheer cliffs or bluffs…
