Ok… I admit I booked another trip. But the offer was good and the destination long time on my list. I am going to Tokyo, Japan at the end of March 2020. It might even be in time for the cherry blossom – but that I will first know a short time before I travel. It…

Half of the year is gone… terrible to think about it 😀 … and the long holiday is over. But as always, there is more to come. First I will do a week long trip to a part of the world that I never have been to before: South America. To be more specific, I will…

Last week, when my parents were in Norway to visit me, I accepted the extremely kind offer from Simon to drive them up in a 2CV. I drove with my Volvo behind them and tried something new. I put my DJI Osmo Pocket on the front of my car and hoped for the best. I am very…

Less rain today. After breakfast I make my way into downtown, close to the Sears tower (that’s what it still is for everybody). Even with a little rain, I want to do the architectural free walking tour. It is the same guy who waited for all the participants yesterday. Me being one of them (without…

Waking up after a good nights sleep. The pain in the foot is much better. Outside the rain is hitting the window and lightning is followed by thunder. How I love rain… not! You just want to stay in bed. OK, some breakfast which is included in the booking. Sweet cereals, toast and jelly. Not…

What a night. Didn’t sleep much. Couldn’t put my feet anywhere without it hurting. I am feeling old. Getting out of bed hurts, limping to the bathroom. The only thing that helps are two Paracetamol and binding my shoes very tight. Then I can move at least (but not fast). To early for breakfast, but the…
