Het is bijna zover! Mijn studie is afgerond, de laatste inentingen zijn gehaald, en nu is het inpakken en wegwezen... Op naar het avontuur!<br> <br>Ik hoop dat ik op reis genoeg gelegenheid zal hebben om af en toe van me te laten horen, en mijn belevenissen aan jullie te vertellen, en ook zou ik het heel leuk vinden om af en toe van jullie te horen hoe het thuis gaat. <br><br>Hopelijk tot onderweg : ) <br> <br>Veel liefs, Claar<br>

... water in Oudehaven, then went for some food to an African restaurant that Sintha knew of, called "De Smaak van Afrika". <br><br>Firstly, we ordered coconut beer, which they served in a coconut shell - it was delicious! Next, we ordered some food, which was made easier by the presence of Sintha and her boyfriend, as it was all in Dutch - but they did teach me the word for 'chicken' and 'vegetables' which was great, given that the ...

... enough to find out. In Austria we had to change to the train. There were another two Esperantists on the bus and luckily they were organised enough to have info on where the train left from. I was very happy to have them with me as we worked out how to get to the train station. On the other hand they were probably just as happy to have me to help them. A short wait in Vienna then train to Sopron in Hungary where we change for our last stop - Szombathely.

... types of ceremonies. Several of the Holland America executives spoke as well as executives from the ship's design and engineering firm. The captain of the ship spoke as well, and then the Queen of the Netherlands came up and gave the ship her once over and cut the cord that sent the bottle of champagne into the side of the ship and officially christening the ship the MS Eurodam. Yaaay!! Now back to drinking........

... in with the music, with about 14 people around playing instriments we had a great time. we broke for a coffee and a smoke, and then planned our next stop on the list, we had earlyer bumped into someone who gave us a flyer for a new squat opening. A meal was being prepared for a lot of people for 7pm. We left the shelter and headed east as the rain started, after walking around for about 30-35min for an Afrikan cafe, we found it but decided ...

... and an array of other rides where you generally just get tossed about like a human salad with the relentless sensation of the 'willies'(see post #20, May 2 - Barcelona for clarification on 'the willies'). Thinking the Mad Mouse type rollercoaster would be a walk in the park after Goliath, the sensation that you might actually tip off the edge on this one caused the three of us to scream boisterously in unison each time the caboose turned a bend. Definitely not for the ...

... think they have the right of way. Bikers were cutting us off left and right and then swerving in between cars like it was their job! It was CRAZY! So, now imagine "Safety First" Andrea. Her theory is to drive defensively, breaking 75% of the time and screaming the other 25%. Her biggest problem is that everyone and their mother feels the need to pass her (and ring their obnoxious bell as they go by)! She also struggles ...

Fiona closed her eyes and raised her hands in a gesture of surrender. &#8220;There's no way I'm smoking any more of that ****!&#8221; she declared, shaking her head emphatically. Sitting beside me on the cold, stone step was Erwin, struggling to swallow down the stone cold Burger King we had bought for him half an hour earlier. <br><br>The light shone on the grand Neo-Renaissance building behind us, colouring the red bricks and the richly decorated ...
