Aug 21, 2012 12:00 AM DENIA 2012
I was invited to look after a villa in Denia on the Costa Blanco, Spain for the month of Augutust. What a great opportunity to test my travel skills again after a 6 year break.
The villa turns out to be in the middle of nowere, the temperatures 36 - 39 °C and I waiste my budget within 3 days by being conned into taking a taxi from Alicante Airport €140 and then crashing the host's car with €700 damage. ... eating tomatoes, nudels and watermelon everyday :-(
I had diarrhea and depression the first 20 days, lost 12 kg in weight, weak, let us see if I can still see something locally other than the two villages ....

May 01, 2012 12:00 AM Never give up dreaming!
Six years of serious illness have passed. I am not getting better but have learnt to cope with how I am. If a 75-year-old can travel then so can I, that is about the shape of my health and condition of my body. The only part of me without problems is my dentiture so I could bite my way out of a jungle if I had too!
Grounded by my doctors for six years I got permission in March to fly again. I shall celebrate with an island holiday in Greece I think....

Sep 10, 2010 10:00 PM GLOBObash Munich
I was pleased atleast one member accepted my invitation. Christl combined it with a visit to her older sister who lives in the city. Pictures will follow showing our compacted city-tour tailor made for Christl as she had been here three times before.
After a sunny breakfast on the newly opened Petual Park we headed for the newly opened Jewish Museum and Synagoge which will help us understand the culture whas we both plan a trip to Israel. Then a classic walk through the old Munich streets took us from the south wgate to the north gate ending at the Hofgarten. We met again for dinner in the English Garden and retired very late after a coffee in party mooded Schwabing.
We had quite some time to strengthen our friendship and I can recommend such joint city-visits between GLOBOmembers. I think a 10th anniversary BASH would be great in two years. I can understand though that so many would like to have attended yet couldnt. Our home-towns are very far apart but it is also our character to travel alone and not be hold up with partying costs and big groups of people with complicated itineries. We are GLOBOsaps, self-efficient travellers, not tourists or a teatime group.
A great day, thanks Christl

Sep 09, 2010 10:00 PM Hurrah, Hieronyma ist da!
I was delighted to get a phone call from Christl. She is in Munich for a few days so we can take my GLOBObash savings and paint the town red. I hope Andy can join us. Anyone like to still fly in?

Jul 06, 2010 10:00 PM World Cup 2010
Since I still cannot travel far and my recovery is very slow, instead of me going out into the world the world comes to me in the form of sport. I am so pleased and feel privelaged to have travelled to so many countries. When watching international sport I can identify myself with the players more easily. I have so many friends around the world and cheered or cried with them during the world cup. Nobody expected Germany to get as far as the semi-finals, neither Netherlands. My support has always gone mostly to Brazil and Spain...

Mar 19, 2010 11:00 PM Free Hugs! Free Willy?
Im feeling not fit but soooo much better! I could spend the afternoon with the CouchSurfers and their Hosts on Marienplatz giving free hugs to pedestrians. Actually it was me that really needed the hugs most after such a long illness! About 20 of us hugged about 100 - 500 people each, that is a LOT of love. The torists found it very funny, specially the asians. Some Germans asked what we were doing or selling or who we were trying to frree (Free Mandela? Free Willy?) or complained that the signs "FREE HUGS" we were holding were not in German, WTF!

Mar 18, 2010 11:00 PM "Back in Action" haha :-(
In August I thought my disabilities and ailments were disappearing but I went through hell this winter and sometimes did not get outdoors for days! I changed my diet two weeks ago and now feel particularly well. ...
... or is it that because spring has arrived? :-)

Jan 19, 2010 11:00 PM Hosting travelling CouchSurfers
Our commune (WG) was fairly empty Dec-January so I joined CouchSurfing.com and hosted some travelling students. I had 5 different guests who stayed between 1 and 15 nights. All of them were such a pleasure to have and to help feeling comfortable in a very wintery Munich. I recommend all GLOBOmembers to try CouchSurfing. It is not competitive community to us, rather COMPILMENTARY. I have enough references now and have even more contacts when I travel. There are 1,7 million members in 71 thousand cities, all travellers like us or tourists/backpackers/trampers, friends of us :-)

Nov 28, 2009 11:00 PM Visiting Petra in Mannheim
I was called to an objective in Ludwigshafen at Mannheim so also got to meet Petra again. We looked around the city centre and Chritkindl markt, had a snack and coffee and a good chat in the little time there was. Petra is difficult to photograph but I did manage to snapshot us together eventually. I also stopped in Stuttgart to see old friends and got home so late on Sunday that my train ticket was not valid for anymore trains, only just made it in seconds jumping onto the last train which was an "ICE". Not having a valid ticket I was fined €60 :-( but it was cheaper that finding a hotel in Ulm :-)
