... in the day.

My first impression was a train station with not a single place to sit and with not a single place open to eat or grab some coffee. My plan to chill out on arrival went cold on me fast and that cold unwelcoming place quickly put a chill in me. I milled about until the first joint that actually had seating opened at 6:30 and sat down (finally) to some tea. Not a minute after my cup was empty the cashier came over and told me to leave. Seriously...no ...

wow....i cant wait to get the video up for this. Amazing stage, amazing sound, amazing crowed. I was actually pretty nervous. just walking back and forth on the stage and seeing all those eyes follow you is creepy.

also a girl named nina came up to me after the show and told me i ruined her puppet show last year at gog bot.... i apologized a lot. it was funny.

... road, the travelbug kicks in again!

Photos will come later, now time to have breakfast and call my parents...
Then in the van and on our way to Brussels to arrange visa for Uzbekistan!
After, to Czech where I will be able to give my dear soul-mate Roman a hug again.

We will keep in touch,
Big Hug,

... 22 uur later in Sydney te arriveren :]
Oke met een tussenstop van 5 uur in Dubai.. waar we helaas niet van het vliegveld af mogen, maar op het vliegveld zelf is denk ik ook wel genoeg te zien.

De laptop gaat mee, nu maar hopen dat overal internet is en dan kan ik nog meer berichtjes plaatsen

Liefs Jonne

... the time, or at least in summer. Bicycles and trams fly through the streets while chess is played, cafes are filled, buskers and artists ply their trade and museums and parks are filled with culture, inspiration and creativity. I've promised myself I'll visit Madame Tussauds Wax Museum next time I go...

... buy a new backpack, an interrail ticket, a lonelyplanet and make some bookings at various hostels. Of course, i have my travel scheme ready as well. I will visit the following cities: Sarajevo, Mostar, Travnik, Karaula, Srebrenica, (i will do some charity work there, just like i did the last two times close to Travnik) Jajce and Bucuresti (Bucharest). If there is time left, i would also like to head to the coast (Ploce or Neum) and on top of that visit Tuzla.

... No biggie - the hotel is nice. Got an upgraded suite, took a shower and just laid on the bed in a towel thinking about you. Started to cry and decided that I needed to take a nap. After three hours, I dragged myself out of bed and started to unpack things. God, I miss you. I love you so much. I had a dinner reservation at the hotel for 7, but decided to find a bank to get some Euros and find some water. Got some money out of the ATM (I can't believe my ATM ...

... sleep to recover from that, but seemed no worse for wear. The local school teacher lent me some books in English to read. Last week I went in with her to the ROC Tourism College in Einhoven to help with exams for a dozen of the 18-20 year old students. It was an interesting day. I had conversations in English with a teacher and the students had to summarise what we spoke about. Then there was three ...

... stairs to pack up all our stuff, and check out. Dad still stayed in the lobby to use the internet while us girls went off to find some "Drop". I assume that most of you don't know what drop is so I'll explain it. Drop is similar to black licorice, but with a lot of variations on flavors (salty, honey, fruit, carmel, but all maintaining the anise flavor) and much smaller softer peices. Our friend who we ...

... CROSS. Mark put me up for two months and saved my ass during my first winter in Holland in 2003-04, and his apartment in the Noord of Rotterdam is the closest thing I can call to a home here in the Netherlands. I'm eager to see Mark this time because we've got a lot to talk about: getting our CD released, planning a duet tour of Holland and Germany, assembling a band and dealing with the logistics for our concert in Rome next month. Mark invites me to join ...
