pukkelpops


hi, we went canoeing in the canal in utrecht on the weekend. it was great.

so tomorrow we go to pukkelpops. i must confess i'm a little worried about camping and the weather. i'm not keen for mud soaked with loads of people.
we made a promise last night that once dagmar turns 30, festivals are done from a nearby hotel. maturity huh.

anyway- listening to hot chip now, i'm most looking forward to them...


see you afterwards

wild camping





We went wild camping with ilja in eiffel. It was unbelievable. We picked him up in koln and then went to the lakes about 100km from there. It was sunny and warm so there were a lot of kooks around, but after a swim we pushed on to these ancient volcanoes which had filled with water over the aeons. Forest surrounding the crater, crystal clear water, sunshine- it was fucken tops.
There were paths around the crater and a small outside café to drink weiss beer. Once the sun went down we prepared a portable braai, drank some wine and then slept under the stars under a cherry tree (very poetic).
In the morning I had the “no bathroom” feeling- need to pee/dump and you teeth need washing. Once we swam it was much better.
Lunchtime was lamb bratwurst and their local beer.

My girl, sunshine, swimming, the nature, and ill-j- what a great weekend adventure….
