Yep. I took the bus. Again. I still can’t get myself into renting a car or mobilehome. It’s not just a sustainability issue – they offer also electrical once (might have an opinion about material use and sourcing for that), it’s mostly a social one: In the bus, I had a great chat with the […]
When your head is heavy with ideas, it’s good to give them a way out. Thus, I decided to give it a chance. After breakfast (self arrangened … makes sense with a kitchenet in the apartment), a decently slow start into the day, I took the bus to Takapuna. Not sure if it is a […]
Less than 24 hours in the country… and I’m in! The kindness of the peope is extraodinary, at least when your mostly known to the harshness of most of Europe. Don’t understand me wrong. People, which know you, are kind, carering, loving. People you meet in the streets are feasonable, if you’re lucky. Often, we […]
It’s a long trip to come here. Actually, I thing I found (for me) the best way: just one stop over in Dubai, 2.5 hours. Worked fine with me. Had two loevely sun rises and a good sunset on the way. Not much more to tell about the views from the plane. In Dubai, we […]
While preparing my travels back in Europe, I concluded it would be much too expensive to fly over to this island during my trip. On the road, I felt a growing urg to come here, couldn’t really put a finger on it, why. I just knew, I had to do it. I spoiled myself. Leaving […]
Breakfast was ready at 9. Enough time afront for some mails and messages. Got the impression, that the whole buffet was set up only for me. Nice. Cute. Touching! But what a waste! The breakfast room was in the basement. Great design! A lot of authentic architectural features from the colonial time combined with modern […]
The last day in San Pedro (7-9) was for reflectie, straying around, collecting and sorting ideas. It was quite cold outside. And inside not much warmer. I tried several places and possiblities. And enjoyed every minute of the day. Then the travels from Sam Pedro to Valparaiso. Wat a learning journey! According to the internet, I […]
A short night. Out of bed at 4AM. The tour to the geysirs started at 5, they said. The VAN came at 5:15. We drove for about an hour through the night, uphill. I assumed, we would have a kind of sunrise stop. That wasn’t the case. At the entrace of the vulcanic park, we […]
Today, I went to the edges on the other side of the village: a try riverbed. From there, the road goes uphill, again, towards the next mountainrange. On my way back, I stopped at a cute restaurant: CKunna. The food here is amazing! Sebastian, the manager and waiter, was quite talkative: together with his partner […]
As always I started the day with my homework. Only, today, a call with a member of the global doughnut community was part of it. He is involved in biobased bouwen for about 25 years, has a global network in it and, of course, a lot of experience. We talked for almost two hours, about […]
