The beginning of the world & the end of my journey
So, I´ve made it to the end of my trip.

Het leek wel of de halve stad in een markt veranderd was. We aten granadilla en tuna.Granadilla: Een soort passievrucht, harde schil die je kan breken, en binnenin grijze zoete slijmerige pitjes (zo'n beetje als een stevige verkoudheid op dag ...
