In two weeks I'll be gone... It's hard to believe honestly... The only thing which reminds me this, is that I carry a "to do"-list with me not to forget to do some things before my big north-american trip. And also that I start to say goodbye ... Read more >

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 | By van_neste | Views [539]

Ok.. so I guess the day was mainly spent lying next to the pool. Snoozing the day away seemed to be the most difficult task we actually undertook. After a lazy breakfast and updating our journal in the lobby, Sharon and I plastered ourselves with emolients ... Read more >
