  • Still at home…waiting for Summer holidays

    There I am, still at home. Now bad to be here though, enjoying my garden. Just ate my first home-grown carrot. But, I’m living here because I have a mission. That mission involves a thing that most call ‘hobby’, some call it ‘sports’, and for me it’s a way of life… And I really wanted …

  • Busteni adventures 3

    Day three in Romania. And still no climbing. I gradually start to get trouble with my addiction (climbing) as I haven’t climbed for 5 days now… Hereby I intend to feed my addiction on another way: by being online all day on the slug-slow Romanian internet. I can tell you: it doesn’t work… This evening …
