Having just spent Sunday playing football in the common, my body is feeling a little rough in preparation for Amsterdam, which is happening on Wednesday morning when I take the train via Brussels, a 6 1/2 trip. I really love trains, the town I grew up in had no tracks and the rail system in NZ was so shit I think I saw about 10 trains before I left there, the novelty of trains has not worn off yet.

I'll be there for 10 days, plenty of time to visit the coast, go on some big bike rides and recharge. Also Gilly from Yellowknife is randomly going to be there for 3 days, will be nice to see a familiar face.

Flights and tickets are booked for Canada for July 27th to Sept 14th and I'm hoping to meet old friends and hook up some with new ones along the way to Shambhala and Burning Man as well as give my new camera gear a workout in between by doing a bit of hitchiking and trekking into the hills.

The Thinktank site is almost ready to go live, just have a bit more alpha testing to do before I want people to start trying it out, I have Natasha helping me with that, but anyone else who has web skillz is welcome to help out (this means you Drei!).
Next post will be from the continent!
