Time sure drifts away out here...

Sunny every day with spectacular sunsets, hard to think of all the rest of the world when it is like this, which is likey for the better.

But getting on the mt to go snowboarding will be nice too, just cant do it all in one day.

Hola

How the time flies, and yet I find myself back where this whole thing started, one somebeach, somewhere.

Well actually today I am in Guadalahara, which has a history that goes back way farther than I can count, as well as having a great climate and some pretty cool views.

I really do like this life of leisure thing, I have more than a few pauses in it, but it is sure good while it lasts.

Got out Kiteboarding on the North Sea, which was a nice way to end the trip.

The waves were big enough to keep me from getting too far, but it was still fun.

the flight home was uneventful and went as planned, nice to be home and see all the famliar sights again.

Copenhagen was great, But bring money lots and lots of money.

Took a nearly 16 hour train ride out of Copenhagen, it was good got some sleep.

The weather is beautiful back here in the Netherlands, will miss riding bikes around actually feeling safe, and comfortable on the road.

Soon I will be winging my way back home, sad to see the trip end, but will be glad to be home too.

Today finds me in Copenhagen Denmark.

Which is a very nice place, taking the ferry accross and seeing the ocean again makes me think of home.

The ferry to Greece was a little different, climate wise, where he it seems much more similar.

There are loads of windmills here, but windmills are everywhere, so it is not such a new site anymore.

The prices feel a little high here, but it is just the way it is I guess.

As I sit here I am noticing that alot of people take this blog and photo thing a lot more seriously, I am seeing people typing up from handwritten drafts, and making sure they cover every single day, oh well.

Tommorow I have all day in town before it is night train time yet again, I looked at getting a sleeper, but it would have been 100 euros, around 150 dollars, so I went with the couchette option, which was 20 euros.

today I rode on my most crowded train yet, people sitting on the floor etc, I was sitting on a jumpseat that folded down in the side of the cargo area, and was sure missing the first class seats I am used too, I was planning on a nap.

Berlin

It really is quite the city, I arrived yesterday, and took a free bike tour today.

It was a great tour, and I got to see way more in four hours than I would have otherwise.

The weather is great, hot and sunny, there is so much to see in this city that is alway reinventing itself.

The Houses and fields and town that I saw on the train ride from Austria to Switzerland, looked just like you would think they would.

There was cloud cover which kept me from seeing the peaks of all the mts, but impressive and rugged none the less.

Zurich as in the middle of setting up for some huge football game celebrations. Kinda would like there to see it, but also very happy not to be, I am sure it will be packed.

Otherwise It is a fairly regular beautiful old city, a nice river runs through it, and it has many monuments and old buildings.

Then night train to Berlin, Against steep odds, I had a great sleep on the night train. If it was always that good I would do it every day. As there is baggage storage and lockers in major trainstations and showers etc.
