This is our final update after we have arrived in the Netherlands safe and sound on Friday. What a great experience and what an amount of very nice people we were allowed to meet underway. Despite the negativism in the news and refusal of the media to comment more on positive events, we are returning…

After our stay in snake-city Saputara, we headed through the mountains to Nashik. This road (and scenery) was even more exciting than the one we had the previous day. We had an appointment in a so called company guesthouse from Ashoka, a big conglomerate of numerous companies. We met Jaspal already the day before…

The cause of this short break in the Emirates was on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Ronald’s father (Maurice’s grandfather…). As a present of his children, Theo was invited to visit the “Dekkers on trek”…

This morning we’re having a coffee and breakfast at Starbucks with proper wifi: Time to write a post again and watch the fishermen at work.

Today we have our 3rd evening in the Emirates and it feels like we have been here already for weeks. On 27/10 we finally arrived at the harbor of Sharjah and after a very unorganized passport control, we were allowed to enter this amazing country. Huge skyscrapers were accompanying us alongside the roads to our…
