... get one either in Ghana or in Europe. I attempted to get one in Ghana, but there was a huge line of visa agents, each holding about 20 passports, and the line there never moved - I later found out that many people had been queueing there for weeks to get visas. Eventually I gave up and decided to get a visa and pay the express fee in Europe somewhere. Upon arrival in Berlin I went straight to the Chinese embassy there and, after the most frustrating, and yet also most comical ...

... on.

We stopped at one point, because the roadbook wasn't very clear, at which point Gaz and Charlotte came up behind us. They had been left behind by the V8s, as they were in a Series vehicle, so we said we'd stick with them.
At this point, Kieran noticed a strange noise from our engine, which was duly investigated by James. It was diagnosed as the fan belt tensioning pulley. But we didn't do anything about it at the time.

... and said I just like the Belgian people. One thing I did notice is that the Flemish generally spoke much better english. On Friday, Spearhead played! Spearhead is one of my two favorite bands (the other being Ratatat). I felt so blessed to see both of my favorite bands in Europe, in such a short period of time! Spearhead was fantastic and the lead singer Michael Franti came out into the crowd singing, so I was able to get some fantastic, close ...

... a good Richie story so I'm really getting into all his little anecdotes about Clarrie Grimmett and the like.) Monday afternoon I did a brewery tour and chatted to another couple I had met along the way (Anna from Holland and Robert from Italy, they now live in Milan), then went back to the hostel and when happy hour started I chatted to the couple that had sat next to me and just arrived. They were Joel and Josefina from Finland and were ...

... amazement we saw that the sign on the black iron fence above the enclosure confirmed it was indeed a ‘Tasmaanse Buidelwolf’.

Perhaps in a bid to prevent the Dutch caging us up like our presumed-extinct local friend, we decided to flee from the Netherlands entirely, though just for the rest of the day. After hiring bicycles we had barely pedalled our way out of the western edge of the town before ...

Dit is de start van een nieuw leven! Een jaar lang weg uit de omgeving die voor mij gedurende 18 jaar zo bekend is geworden. Die bekende omgeving ga ik nu verlaten en ga nieuwe horizonten opzoeken. Spannend? Eng? Ik denk een beetje van beiden. Maar dat wil niet zeggen dat ik het niet meer zie zitten.

De laatste dagen zijn hier wel wat vreemd geweest, de dag komt ook zo dichtbij. Afscheidsfeestje is geweest voor vrienden en familie. Want ik ga ...

Message from Frank Since we are travelling by car, we have the luxury of a sound system in the car. Nothing exceptional, just a CD player with MP3...good for 150 songs on one little CD. I know that Ingrid and I have very different musical tastes...so it will be quite a challenge ...

... time and I needed to do something so I went to have a shower at the university. I did some bike ride in the city, some shopping and found a great billabong sweater but it was way too expensive so for the same price I got a wool sweater and a quicksilver workshirt. For the rest I spent the day at the 24h race and later I went back to Stan's home, going back to the city only to bring back a bike to his home. Some more sleep and packing my bags.
