I'm lazy and not in a very creative mood, so much so that I couldn't even come up with a fitting title to this blog, but I shall endeavor to write a worthwhile entry for those of you who bother to read my stories.

Hoi Ralf! Mooi verhaal weer, hoor! Ik ben elke keer weer zwaar onder de indruk van je geschreven Engels, lekkere woordenschat doe je op tijdens het reizen! Goed te zien dat je je reisdraai weer helemaal gevonden hebt en mooie foto's, beetje natuur derbij, mooi.. Ik lees je blogs weer trouw :-) en wens je heel veel plezier en mooie ervaringen bij wat je allemaal nog op je pad zult tegenkomen! Doei, Marijn

What no tooth!
I'm sure your whole trip will have changed cos of not seeing the mythical tooth!! lol!!! reading the time of day you went walking made me think of the old adage: "Mad dog and Englishmen go out in the midday sun!" I guess Noel Coward should have added mad Dutchmen too!!! Says the person who got to climb some mountain in Australia at midday (40oC) with her daughter on her back!
