We made it back in Colorado, after a hectic time in London (we got lost everywhere). It is still a bit cold here, snow in the mountains, but Kalu already started rafting! It is gonna be a crazy season, they say, with loooots of water (from al the snow this winter)! We are living at AAE, in our little apartment from last year, close by the river! Also the guys from last year are back, so summer can only be good! Big hug from us! Leen and Kalu [View Full Entry]

Hola Amigo’s!!!! 5 Days Barcelona!! A beautiful city to relax! And we enjoyed it so much!! First a bit trouble with finding a hotel, everything was booked, but luckily we found a nice room in the gothic neighborhood, close to the Rambla! We enjoyed the street-theatre a lot, but also the beach, wandering in the little streets, visiting the market, drinking sangria, eating paella, meeting our nepali friend Santosh, … Also the Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell made a big impression on us, we just loved it! More to see on our pictures! Now time to get to London, because Thursday [View Full Entry]

But Kalu and I are having some bad luck ... after Kalu is here for a week, and I'm here for 5 days, we still didn't got our luggage! Thinking we must have a bad karma, we are trying the best to get it back, but untill now, no good luck!
