Texas Hold'em aaah Texas Hold'em, not Holden. cheers for the correction my old son. Yeah, Dan's joined the team. Food poisoning hit him pretty hard the other day. Poor old Dan, didn't eat all day.
Long way from ... Makarewa Dan I see you did it. Nice. Takes me back a few years....
Kees I hardly recognise u. Something seems to have attached itself to you neck.... also was playing a bit of Texas Hold'em in Ecuador with the locals, have to start something back in nz.
paris half a decade amongst all those package and family tourists?? not so sure love. The language problem was fine, got by with the French basics and politely asked in French if they can speak English. Hope your PhD is going well :-)
I see you're using a bit of Invercargill's traditional cryrillic script. Good to see you reclaiming the cultural inheritance of your people..
Not sure what that picture is meant to be though, it doesn't show and the caption reads something like zifeleva bashnya - maybe its a dutch joke.
paris Bonjour monsieur Keizer,
Honestly, I don't know how you managed to do all that in just three days. I'm saving at least a decade of my life to experience Paris. You must be feeling a whole heap more cultured now that you've tasted a bit of joie de vie a la pariesienne... ay? Did you try any escargots? Are the ladies really chic and equipped with a poodle like in the picture books? Did the locals make you feel pathetic because you don't speak the mighty language?
You Lucky Man Looks like your having a ball gearing up for your african sojourn, youre a lucky dude Im sitting here at the moment In an office In the desert. Might have to chuck it in sooner rather than later I think, its just not happening here I reckon. Anywyas if you need me t help you out with anything in Nort Africa, let me know via email and Ill see what i can do (language issues etc...)
Beard Poll We had a poll here at the NCRE (in the Garden City of the Universe) to see if Martin should keep his beard...naturally I put your vote in as the only person in favour of the beard.
Outdated Your blog is outdated. Just yesterday we were having belgium beer in Brussels bars and you were taking advantage of not getting a bad reaction when you say to girls you re from invircago. Seek that we meet randomly in brussels. Take good care my friend and have a great trip. See you back in october to check out EU hood and more brussels nigh out. Cheers. Diogo
emuwheels Yeah, I'm coming over August 4, amsterdam-sneek-groningen-westerstede-bremen-hamburg-kiel-goteborg-lyrestad-motala-stockholm-tallinn, overa bout 13 days, something like that anyway,
probably set me up one of these blogs too so we can compare riding injuries in fornt o fthe whole world. haven't been able to get hold of the joker I know in Amsterdam, don't suppose you ever got manon's details?
Been trying to get in some cycling round here but weather's been shit.
Well if it isn't Kees Keizer... I heard about your travels from Wim Harwig, a guy you couchsurfed with recently. Never thought that I'd hear about an old school mate...
Good on you for getting on a bike and doing it. Are you heading through Germany any time soon? I am near Karlshue in Germany, heading towards the Netherlands on my skateboard along the Rhine River. It'd be freaking random to meet up.
Anyways, take care and good luck for dodging the rain storms.
Tailwinds all the way,
Rob

the dutch the dutch are just slightly crazy...i knew it all along...good on them though. gotta love the beauty of den haag and delft. rotterdam didnt convince me though, kees...oh and what do you like more? oud zeeland or nieuw zeeland?;)
now you seem to be off to the no-country belgium...enjoy:D
beardy stuffs Enough about the flat and wet Netherlands. When are you going to action land (ie Algeria)? And is it the reason why you are growing a beard - to look more like the locals in North Africa?
Hot Fuzz Ah, I thought you'd hit the "fuzz" button on the camera, but you've clearly outshone Emu.
Ingenious use of literally in the Flevoland shot, brought a tear to my eye.
Keep it up, am enjoying your antics. I note you never mentioned what type of tourist you were in Amsterdam; no doubt some hybrid Amish/Beer drinking cross?
I've been all round the show: started in Bali, travelled up Indo to Malaysia and Thailand, ran to Germany then spent time in the Netherlands, Belgium, Belize and France. Caught up with a mate Dan, went to Spain together and brought bikes in Seville. We then rode along the southern Spainish coastline then crossed over to Morocco where we spent a month cyling around. Upon arrival at the Algerian border, they said No so we said oh damn- we have to turn around and go back. Dan decided that Tunisia without a visa was the place for him to go, and then onto Italy. I thought it through and decided to ... full info
