Wanderlust

My dream house, on a small Portuguese island, Armona. The urge to travel is upon me! Preferably to some place I haven't been before. Well, we'll see where it will take me. Maybe Vietnam.

s'Kaafhüs

The former mooring places on the 1358 AD custom house. Boats on the Rhine had to declare their goods, tobacco, wine, salt. A custom house with an inn, since 1401 AD for centuries, a market later, a trendy restaurant nowadays.

Hendrika Johanna

The Hendrika Johanna barge is a beautiful so-called pleasure boat. 10 meters in length, 2 meters wide. A Dutch barge, based in Alkmaar, Netherlands. I've seen her in Paris, a while ago

A blast from the past

Meeting Janis, the four boys from Liverpool, Zagor, the Floyd, Asterix and Obelix in Belgrade, 18 months ago. I really need to go back to the Balkans, so much still to see there! And it's relatively cheap, which is good for my small pension.

Place du Marché Neuf

Or New Market Square, minutes away from the cathedral. The "new" market dates back to 1738 AD, until the late 19th century. Nowadays, it's a shady parking lot, with a nice fountain.

I keep wondering about the number of "Newmarkets" wordwide...

Typical houses in the old town. Most are dating back to the 15th century, some much older, as early as the late 13th (1298 AD).
