I went to Tilburg to visit Cycle Vision.
I visited a lecture given by Daniël N Lang, about his 40.000 kilometers cycling trip around the world ! I was glad he is alive and kicking.
I will upload some more photos to my Flickr-page soon.
I didn’t see the new model made by velomobile.nl ; according to ligfietsplaza called the Strada .
A short video during the one-hour race :
We’ve been struggling in the traffic jam with our camper in the Netherlands for a few days. Visiting family and trying to get a feeling of “not at work”. 
A few photos ;
Eindhoven
The Herb Garden at the Open Air Museum in Arnhem.
Dogs at Hetty’s place in Emmen
Hetty’s site
The new living room for Johan in Ermelo
Hennie is still going strong in Vorden
You can find more photos at my Flickr-page ( widget at the right).
We had a good time and arrived back home this afternoon.It was awful hot (for Dutch standards) and I think that’s why I have a little headache.
Coming weekend I will visit Cycle Vision, so just hope the headache will be gone by then.
I got myself a new Powershot ! The old A 95 started to make bad noises when it adjusted the lens. I am quite sure that means that trouble lies ahead ;-(
So I bought another Powershot. I decided to buy the G 10. Small, easy to use, but at the same time with high quality. And it has the possibility to use the flash on the second curtain !
So now my old A 95 can be put away in the camera museum ………. It’s a pity, because I have registered many good memories with it.
The Dutch magazine Ligfiets& is online for once. It’s a unique possibility for non-readers to see what they’re missing.
I want the other bicyclist to hear me when I use the bell.
They didn’t hear me approaching when I used the original bell that is installed inside my Quest; so I bought this large model and put it outside the fairring. I can even use the bell when the cover of soft foam is on my Quest.
Simple, cheap ……………. and it works !
A lot of family and friends still were alive and kicking when we married.
We don’t like formality, so the photo set-up was created spontaneously.
Since a few years my colleague Harold had the intention to visit Henk (another colleague who lives in Waarde). Today was the day ! Middelburg-Waarde-Middelburg via the LF-13 cycling route appeared to be 100 kilometers exactly.
Of course I made a short video, just for the record !
Luke & Jean were with us. Two couchsurfers from England.
Luke had his 21-th birthday !
28 years ago a lot of Dutch voters had the same feelings about immigrants as today. The next video shows a parody on a right wing political party.
It’s amazing how this item is still topical today ……..
Rea updated her website. She finished her Wwoofing-work and went back to Auckland, where she will do some cleaning in the hostel for a free stay.
See her website here .
The world according to Monsanto; a 2 hour long video-document.
Our camper had to pass a safety-check (APK) and luckily it passed the check, so we can use it one more year !
At the garage I saw an old Renault, waiting to be restored. I made a photo with my mobile-phone …

Tyler Clemens made contact with us via the warm showers list. Of course we bought him a herring ! He liked it …
For dinner he helped to prepare the shrimps …..
Some old colleagues of Marjan organised a barbaque in Scharendijke.
Jan
A colleague of mine retired today. We had some good laughs and conversations in his local pub.
Out of respect for the two colleagues who deceased last week, we kept a one-minute silence.
Peter en Han
of course there was also Hans !
The video was taken in December 2008, but was edited just last week. It shows the adventures of Jes & Rea in Australia.
