First pictures

I´ve made it home and I would never have thought that my little place in Turkey could feel so good. Five weeks living out of a suitcase and moving from place to place does take it´s toll, but on the other hand it was fun and has provided me with all the information and material I wanted for the...

Greetings from Amsterdam

I'm finally on my way back to Turkey and have just arrived at the world's biggest and most confusing airport: Schipohl/Amsterdam waiting for my connecting flight to Istanbul. But, as you can see, I found the internet centre and thought I use the remaining time to say hallo. This airport is really... Sign in to see full entry.

Is here anything vogue won't do?

The answer is: very few things. This is the story about the rock concert I went to yesterday and let me tell you what an event that was. It was Spanish bands and I knew only one of the artists, Antonio Carmona, a gitano who knows his guitar. Anyway, the event took place on the beach with the... Sign in to see full entry.

Getting warm at last

Today I went on another daytrip further into the countryside in the direction of Lugo. I had discovered that close to a place called Vilalba are thermal springs and natural pools and --lo and behold---I found them and had a good hot relaxing bath. The pool is in the open and smells a bit foul... Sign in to see full entry.

A heroine and a boat trip

It was public trnasport again today and I went by bus back to La Coruña. In the first place to buy my ticket to Barcelona and also to fill in the gaps so to speak which were still there from my first stay about a week ago. Happily, the weather is finally good and I happened upon a boat trip around... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally met the publisher

You may remember, that this entire Galicia trip is because a London based publisher has expressed an interest in a travel book about Galicia. Today, I finally met the men in person here in Pontedeume and that came about because his girlfriend who is a well known interior designer has bought a finca¡... Sign in to see full entry.

A strange blot in the sky

When I woke up this morning and looked out of the window, I saw a strange, yellowish rather big spot in the sky. At closer inspection, it turned out to be the sun!!!! After so much black clouds, rain and cold, I had totally forgotten what she looks like, bravely struggling to get the upper hand over... Sign in to see full entry.

A romantic place

For 2 days, after leaving La Coruña, I have been stuck in the 'pampa', without internet, really slumming it, because I wanted to try out a very very rural place. But, given that we also had pouring rain, this was a quite depressing experience and I took the first bus out. Now I am in a small town... Sign in to see full entry.

A streetcar named Hercules!

Now this was fun! I am still in La Coruña and yetserday was, for once, a nice ans unny day, so I took advantage and hopped on the streetcar. It's a semi-public means of transport in this town.
