After a couple of days in Friedrichshafen it was time to head for the Alps. Too bad thats it’s raining everywhere… Two days ago we woke up with snowy mountains all around. One of the locals told us he hadn’t seen this much snow in July in 32 years! Hopefully it will get better in …

Viva & Arla
So cool! I won, I won, yes, yes. I won a restyle of our beloved campervan.

A professional photographer took pictures. …

They decided to cycle all the …

Unfortunately the new GriGri 2 has a problem… (In Apple terms: As it turns out the GriGri2 has an issue…) Under serious force the handle might block, causing failure in the automatic breaking system. So, I have to sent mine back and get a replacement. Maybe you have to sent yours back too? Check out …

Curry that makes you…
Okay, I like cooking. And I prefer to cook simple (one pot, one frying pan meals). Today I was up for some Thai food. I opened the curry pack, added it to the coconut milk and suddenly saw the name of the curry company. Do you spot the name? So, does this curry make you…?

Worldcup Boulder Eindhoven 2011
The day after. Or actually already two days after the finals of the Worldcup Bouldering in Eindhoven. Because of a mistake. (Won’t tell you any names or details) I was climbing in Ettringen during Dutch the qualifications last April. At that time I was pretty quiet and light about it as I thought ‘well, just …
