You wanna go for a walk?

This happens when you hike too much! Even the best shoes can't handle it hehe... :)

Oh spiders...

Anyone who likes spiders?
I don't know which sort of spider it is but it looks creepy.

I love Spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.  ~Ruth Stout

 Hi Everyone!

Finally with an almost 2 season delay some pics of my day at Keukenhof .
Keukenhof is an amazing colourful park in the Netherlands. It's known worldwide for its millions of flowers that create the ultimate Spring feeling. 
At some point I really started to believe I was part of a fairytale... Enjoy!

The Philipinne way of life

... on the road to El Nido.

As a preview for my upcoming blog about my journey to the Philippines, I've already made a small selection.
With this selection I want to give a sight on the daily life of the Philippine people on the countryside. You will notice a huge contrast between the modern, fast running place we live in.

I apologise for the quality of these pics. These pictures were mainly taken during a downpour driving to and from El Nido, Palawan. The driver had a heavy foot and I can assure you the roads were very bumpy. So it was more like lucky shooting... (the other pics of the Philippines are fortunately much better)
Anyway, with these pics I just want to show you their pace of life. Don't forget to look at the smiles on the school boys and girls.
I quote a Philippine friend of mine: "Always smile because a smile can wipe the wrinkles away."

Do you also wonder what this kid is doing?

These 2 kids definitely have the cute factor

The last one is very blurry but I posted this for a reason. While all those kids were coming from school, these 2 kids came from the forest... from work.

It's a beautiful day

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.  ~Virgil A. Kraft

Egypt 2009

A few shots of my (unfortunately too short) holiday in Egypt in November 2009. I spent one week at Sharm-El-Sheikh and flew over to Cairo to visit the famous pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. We also made a trip through the Sinai Dessert (to the Blue Hole -Dahab).
