ballerina wannabe


The problem with living in a seasonal country in my humble opinion is seriously, the impetus to shop at the beginning of each season. And after swimming in the trusty green spring flats in the rain yesterday (and throwing out a white pair gone manky when I moved), plus the fact that my feet hurt sometimes, I decided that I could justify un petit extravagence. I was too too close to buying the porcelain coloured pair with lace on them. Too sweet! Again, I remind myself, the theme was (and is) simple and sensible. Focus! Focus!

Sicily, Part Two


20 September 2007
The mobile fishmonger on an Aeolian Island
(Vulcano off Sicily, Italy)
Vulcano
Area: 21 square kilometres. For the Romans, the island of Vulcano was the habitation of the fire god Vulcan. The centre of the island (notably a volcano, was spouting sulphur smoke all day). There were signs everywhere, on the evacuation route should there be any major eruption. Such a quiet, lazy island, with the blackest of beaches, the whitest of seafoam, and the bluest of skies.

The land of volcanos, and of course, jellyfish (Part One)

19 September 2007
On a bike ride around the island. The first place I camped outdoor in a tent.
(Lipari island off Sicily, Italy)

I rode, I paddled, and I conquered - The 50 km bicycle ride to the North Sea

25 August 2007
En route to Knokke.
(Brugges, Belgium)
It was the longest and most adventurous bicycle ride of my life in the land of flatness. There were stinky chicken farms, big trucks on the Highway passing through to the Netherlands, and along the journey we saw little influence that seeped over the borders into Belgium.
I wish we rode tandem.
