Today a roadtrip in the north east direction, Friesland. First we had some main road and highway for 80 kilometers, so for me stretching my pistons a little, so to say. The route was following the coast line at the north and then back through the cities Buitenpost, Dokkum, Leeuwarden and Bolsward. From the last city we took the highway […]
HEATSTROKE After spending the night indoor, in a room that just fitted my height we had a long drive. We stopped in Luxembourg for fuel and a quick dinner stop.

First was new headlights, my original headlights started rusting in the bottom, so not completely watertight. My replacement lights are still old-school H4 lights but the clear glas version with yellow bulb. Despite I am an old girl, I still like to […]

Osaka station is easy to reach, first task was to drop my luggage at the hotel and then go for a stroll, direction was Dotonbori. […]
