The Wörthersee

So this is were we will spend the coming days - it could be worse... The Wörthersee (lake) is the biggest lake in Austria and ideal situated on the corner of Italy, Slovenia and Austria. It has pristine clear water surrounded by huge mountains. Now wonder now-a-days the rich and famous want to spend some time here (and we!). The weather is motorbike prefect so we will certainly have some serious fun.

Through Bayern and beyond




It is not so nice to ride our bikes only on the german Autobahn (however: sometimes it is fun though to hit a new speed record...) - so we wander off through little towns which in Germany almost always seem to have an ancient history and some beautiful buildings and such.

The day we got photographed by Jimmy Nelson

Eddie - Jimmy and me
We were not allowed to smile - so we look dead serious :-)
We went for a cultural trip to Leiden and visited 4 museums: Lakenhal, boerhaave, Oudheden en Volkenkunde.  So we saw very nice paintings by Gerrit Dou, Jan Steen, Rembrandt, gruesome medical devices and the first microscope, very interesting Greek and Roman vases and the cultural history of people from all around the world. While walking through the Volkenkunde Museum we met the famous photographer Jimmy Nelson who has an exhibition at the museum with his "Before They Pass Away" series about tribes who are on the brink of extinction. He immediately offered to make a picture of us in his studio right there  - but only if we took of our T-shirts. Well: we were a little afraid that we would become part of this "tribes which are dying series" - but that is NOT the case :-)
So here we are: on the Museum Poster...

An elegant evening with Gregory Porter and The Metropole Orchestra

We were very lucky to get tickets for the unique concert Gregory Porter gave in Tivoli Utrecht with the Metropole Orchestra. Gregory must be the best - or at least one of the best Jazz Singers of the world. The charm, the easy, the voice: wow! The Metropole orchestra was terrific as always - so this was truly a night to never forget.

Back in the Prague days

Found this old pic of me standing in the lift of my advertising agency in Prague. It was a fun office with weird arty design, like car mirrors in the lift and old irons as door handles :-)

From North to South

Today was the first and last possibility to walk a part of the "NoordZuid lijn" underground tube connecting Amserdam Centre and Amsterdam Noord underneath "Het IJ". It was very impressive and now I more understand why this project has to cost more then $5 billion and takes untill 2017 to complete.
