Today I took the Shinkansen train from Hamamatsu to Osaka. My flight was only on Sunday so a good reason to explore Osaka today. Last time I was here was more than 15 years ago. 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. […]

Today we, a friend from Hamamatsu and me, drove from Hamamatsu to Takayama, a place located in the Japanese Alps. We shortly passed by Shirakawa but a road was closed and it was too rainy for a walk, so O only had the view on the characteristic houses on a drive-by. We checked in to our home stay room for […]
From Cancun back to Enkhuizen and moving on to Hamamatsu. In 7 days from a timezone 7 hours earlier to a timezone 7 hours later. No wonder the jetlag is more heavy this time. The first evening to my favorite restaurant when I am by myself, some real sushi and sashimi. After working on the Friday I went for a […]
The beginning of October work took me to Cancun, Mexico. A global homologation workshop. The workshop was 4 days but I had to stay a week because of the holiday flight, it was cheap but above all a direct flight from Amsterdam. The venue for the week was the Breathless Cancun Soul Resourt, an all inclusive resort with 3 pools […]

It was ride-to-work day so I was lucky to make a big trip to Brussels. We started with the highway but close to the border we exit the highway and took secondary roads in the direction of Brussels. So we had a tour trough some small towns like Strijbeek, Hoogstraten, Zoersel, Lier and Mechelen. From Mechelen we took a small […]
Today I had the opportunity to get to know part of the area on this sunny day. It started with some nice, not too fast, twisty roads. After that it was on small roads towards the south, along many small rivers, windmills and through small historical towns. It is such a beautiful area here. It was a great ride in […]
