Hung with the hipsters at twilight for  Rolling Kitchens , Westerpark. A whole load of food trucks out and about for four days over this long weekend...but much more like a festival with people hanging on the grass, a heap of bars and live music ... Read more >


Day 106 v2: De Pijp

NETHERLANDS | Wednesday, 11 May 2016 | Views [224] | Comments [1]

Getting the most out of my intro week offer at Bikram - 8 days, unlimited, for 12 euro. I am also reading and loving a new book called Gut: The inside story of our body's most under-rated organ, so all I talk about is how our digestive system should ... Read more >


Day 105 v2: Hot Pod

NETHERLANDS | Tuesday, 10 May 2016 | Views [233]

I experienced a growing yoga fad: Hot Pod . It's vinyasa but in a warm, dark, giant, purple, jumping castle, tent thingy. It's about 37 degrees so you get your sweat on and I guess the idea is both gimmick and convenience for teachers to transport it ... Read more >

Day 103 v2: Boats and Bitches

NETHERLANDS | Sunday, 8 May 2016 | Views [163]

Left the bikes and caught the tram into Central to sample some fine tasting falafel at Maoz . Good reviews and it might just be the best in town. Then we happily wandered and by chance stumbled upon the Red Light District. Found a spot to ... Read more >


Day 102 v2: Tulip Town

NETHERLANDS | Saturday, 7 May 2016 | Views [203]

We embarked on one epic bike adventure today, covering over 40km around the Flower Strip of the South. After reading all about it I was certain it'd be a piece of cake finding it and getting started...however, after asking two station staff...and a visit ... Read more >

NETHERLANDS | Friday, 6 May 2016 | Views [189]

Tried a little dutch Bikram this morning - first set in English, second set in Dutch - I loved that. I did some domestic duties today - while my clothes were washing at the laundromat I did some window shopping, bought a skirt and grabbed a coffee...... Read more >


Day 100 v2: Day 100

NETHERLANDS | Thursday, 5 May 2016 | Views [224]

This is Miffy. Wow, 100 days go by so quick. They have these 'Iamsterdam' city cards here (24, 48, 72 or 96 hours) so grabbed us both a 72-er for some serious adventuring. They don't start until you activate em, so we might get started in a few days.... Read more >

NETHERLANDS | Wednesday, 4 May 2016 | Views [243] | Comments [1]

I finally worked out how to make coffee then we got on the bikes. There are ten boroughs surrounding Amsterdam Central and I plan to explore each and every one. Today was NDSM . A derelict shipyard-turned-edgy art community, just a short ferry ride ... Read more >


Day 98 v2: The Hague

NETHERLANDS | Tuesday, 3 May 2016 | Views [169] | Comments [2]

Took a little trip down to De Haag town in the hope of gaining Russian visas. Well...the lady took our money and gave us the impression they would be sent away for processing. I guess we will find out next Friday. Even though it appears to be Friday ... Read more >

NETHERLANDS | Sunday, 1 May 2016 | Views [151]

BRAZIL | Thursday, 28 Apr 2016 | Views [387]

Took a 4WD taxi 40mins across the dunes to Lagoa de Paradiso - a fresh water lagoon in the middle of nowhere. Again it was a nice new perspective to see th extent of the sand. Throughout the day the passing clouds cover the different dunes with patterns, ... Read more >


Day 92 v2: Ventos

BRAZIL | Wednesday, 27 Apr 2016 | Views [277]

Better conditions today, wind is up. Took one board out with Magga our instructor. Lots of laughs and Magga yelling "Elissa, let go of the sail if you fall off!". More about sailing than boarding, so a real challenge but heaps of fun. Got some good wind ... Read more >


Day 91 v2: Doooons

BRAZIL | Tuesday, 26 Apr 2016 | Views [286]

You can't windsurf without any wind, so we trekked around the dunes. They are far more grander and further away than it seems...trick of the eye. After walking the loooong way because I was freakin out about invisible crocodiles, Mike freaked out about ... Read more >


Day 90 v2: Jeri Sunset

BRAZIL | Monday, 25 Apr 2016 | Views [244]

Day started with some serious sleeping in from my part (Mike ran the dunes) and plenty of hammock time. Mike worked at the unit while I stepped out to explore town in pursuit of some cracker shots. Tide was really low so I grabbed some cool ones of the ... Read more >

BRAZIL | Sunday, 24 Apr 2016 | Views [354] | Comments [1]

Headed out for acai and to see this crazy place by day. We ended up discovering the coastal walk along the cliffs and found Pedra Furada (the rock bridge). Mike attempted to climb to the top but got whistled down hehehe. Walked along the water and over ... Read more >
