home sweet home

Hi people!

This is my final blog-post. I am back home now, back with friends and family and loved-ones.

What a trip this has been! Just simply incredible.... almost impossible to comprehend! I can only tell you that in reallity the photographed landscapes, animals, plants, people, etc. are ALL far far far better than photographs can ever convey. But in the end, the last few weeks, after having seen such amazing things, I felt a bit 'overloaded' (as you can imagine), so it was really time to come home: if you are no longer amazed by the beautiful mother earth, it is time to let it sink in for a while.

Thank you all for keeping an eye on my blog for all these months- It was really really nice to feel that nobody was forgetting me, and was stil with me a bit. Really you have no idea how nice that was.

Last thing I really want to say is: DO AS I DID! PLEASE:

GET UP AND GO TRAVELLING!

NOW!

California and San Francisco

Hi people,
The final leg of my travels is California. After spending almost a week in San Francisco I rented a car for some days and drove to Redwood National Park and Yosemite National Park. It was very nice, but I am looking forward to coming home soon!!
Take care,
Bas.

last day in Auckland + NZ

Hi there!

I spent my last days in New Zealand in Auckland, with ray and Donnae, a South African couple that lives there. I have met them a couple of weeks ago at Mount Taranaki. They are amazing people! They invited me into their home and treated me to a great "braai" (South African BBQ)! It was so good! I am such a lucky bastard!

Thanks Ray and Donnae! And Mishka (their great cat!)!! We'll be in touch!
