Ginga Reunion
Entry 61 of 65 | show all | print this entry |
The reunion with the Ginga, the 9th time now on this trip, was always gonna be a good one. After skipping thru Germany, barely our feet touched the ground there, we had only time enough to witness German football hooligans chanting and causing scuffles with the riot police in the Hamburg railway station which they just about shouted the roof off. We rolled over the Dutch border and into Enschede, known locally as Tukkersville. Roel of course was shouting at us across the station "hey yoooo mutha fuckers, how the hell are you!". Fucking absolutely brilliant to see the ginga legend again and the banter instantly flowed forth as we nattered about crazy times in Asia and the big journey home since I left him on the Mekong in northern Cambodia about 3 months ago.
We got to his house and were greeted by his adorable family who took us in like their own sons and served us up with a fridge full and more of Grolsch and a table piled high with wonderful Turkish food. We ate and drank till we could barely move and then went out on the town of Enschede. I met some more Tukkers in Nha Trang, the great dutch duo Ingrid and Huong, so of course we met up with them in town. They dragged us off to some other student place and it's freshers week here too so was equally as mental as Copenhagen, but with more people and to the sounds of the Dutch underground hard hard dance music. You can hear the BOOM BOOM BOOM everywhere round da Nederlands, and a Dutchie isn't a Dutchie without a sound system more expensive than their car.
Yet again, it was another goodbye to Roel. He loved the Brits so much when he was travelling though, he's coming to live in the UK for a bit. So for sure we will meet again very shortly.

Roooooel!!
Thanks for the kind words mate. Beleive me, the feeling is mutual. It would be a damn shame if we didn't join forces again to wreak havoc whereever we may be!
Well I think I may stay in Scotland now, so you'll need to come catch me up here brother. England was looking pretty rank when I came thru there last time. Scotland's miles better!
