St. Eusebius Church Hey everyone! Just yesterday I wrapped up my visit to St. Eusebius Church quite nicely. I have taken many pictures of it since I arrived in Arnhem and yesterday I also took a short video of myself in the very top of the tower. St. Eusebius Church is the largest church and building in Arnhem, standing at 93 meters tall. It is also the most "tourist friendly"church anyone is likely to visit. One reason is it's glass elevator lift that travels up the center of the tower to the very top, allowing viewers an excellent view of it's vast collection of bells along the way. It is indeed the only Church in the world with such a convenient lift. The church itself still holds sunday services in the main hall. Mirjam tells me ... read more

Hello everyone! Since you all begged for information, and more particularly, photos! I have decided to post specific topics at a time, and mix the photos up as much as I can so as to annoy you all back home thoroughly! I want to start off with a topic that came to mind the very first moment I stepped into Arnhem. European Contrasts - Arnhem A contrast by definition is a thing that is strikingly dissimilar to another. When I first stepped off the train into Arnhem, I was overwhelmed at all the contrasts.

After saying the goodbyes to the earth ship crew I ended up catching the train to Arnhem (initially I was intending to ride my bike but I was a bit slow in getting everything done that day). I had decided to do couch surfing again since I had such a nice experience in Gronigen. Everyone at the Earthship had said how awesome the Kruller Muller museum was so I decided to check it out. Was met by Margreeth at the central station of Arnhem and we rode our bikes to her house. She was so friendly and her place was very gezllig -cosy. She was living in place that was rented out to people at a discount rate so that squatters didn't live there. As a result she had quite a few rooms and I got ... read more

Hoi! Ik ben heel hard mijn best aan het doen de foto's van het feestje up te loaden en ik hoop dat het lukt. Ik, en volgens mij loes ook, heb het in elk geval echt supergezellig gehad!! Tot over lange tijd :P ... read more

Nog een paar dagen en dan zit ik in het vliegtuig naar Brazilië en Argentinië. Na een lange zomer werken is het nu dan eindelijk tijd voor vakantie. Voor deze trip is plan de volgende route te doen. De route is veel meer gepland dan ik wilde maar gezien de afstanden enorm zijn en de vluchten intern Arrgentinië beperkt zijn had ik weinig keus. Woensdag 24 oktober is de start in Rio de Janeiro, 1-11 vlucht naar Iguassu om de meest spectaculaire watervallen ter wereld te bewonderen dan door naar Buenos Aires. Tango, voetbal kijken in het stadium van Maradona, steak eten, drinken, shoppen, dansen, Evita Peron, clubbing en zo veel meer. Zo. 4-11 vlucht naar Trewel Peninsula valdés waar ik hopelijk walvissen, zeehonden, pinguïns en dolfijnen ga zien, Do. 8-11 vlucht naar El Calafate de ... read more
