Gosh Ramon, welcome back. It was great reading your recent posts and seeing the photos you take again. Once again, I am hooked and will be checking daily, to travel with you. :-) We've missed you, but understand the much needed break you took. When I travel for just a few weeks at a time I am anxious to get home. I can only imagine how hard this is for you at times, as well as being exciting and enjoyable and educational.

Take care, and best of luck in Australia. It was wonderful that you had the opportunity to experience Hong Kong if only for an afternoon. Loved the photos! Even the ones on the plane! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again for all you do. You are remarkable!


Cheers,
Joan

Hi Ramon,

Great to see you are off on your travels again. Best of luck.

I have a question about the message board sorting. I can't remember how it was before, I have not checked since you went on vacation. It seems it would be easier if the messages were in chronological order, versus most recent first. It makes one have to read from bottom to top, scrolling up instead of the "natural" scrolling down, reading down.

Just a thought, it seems the most recent should be at the bottom of the lists, and on the last page. :-) It's hard reading backwards. Is there an option to sort chronological versus reverse chronological?

Thanks, and Have fun, good luck,


Joan

Looking forward to all the reports.

Ramon, I still think it would be cool if you had Gerben write a report every now and then. Call it something like "Meanwhile, back at the ranch" by Gerben. Just a thought. Good to see you back. Happy Trails.

"Off and running"!!! It feels wonderful to be "traveling" again--thanks to Let Me Stay For A Day! I have even more admiration for you now, because you took the time to renew your friendships, and to strengthen your love ties with Irena! A real man listens to his heart and learns how to balance his life with love, friendships, and adventure! Please take as many "vacations" as you need and we'll follow you to the ends of the earth! Many hearts travel with you!

Hi Ramon


I can't wait to read and see your reports about your ozzie adventure! And I hope you didn't cause my lovely friend the shock of her life showing up at her doorstep armed by camera's! But knowing her she coped perfectly with that.
Strange thing eh, that internet is so expensive in Oz? I mean, it's not exactly a third world country???
You should go to the hospital library, it's for free there.

RAMON:
Unfortunately public internet is mostly outdated and locked up - as anywhere I think. A library mostly offers internet only, no word-processing or floppy-disk drive possibillity... I am just waiting for an answer from Australian's biggest internet company Telstra.com.au.

Cheers mate!



RAMON:
Hi Martin!It took me quite a while to get from Amsterdam to Australia and I arrived Wednesday morning with an enormous jetlag. Indeed, the television (Channel 9) was following me the first days and now I am going for a good days rest.
The reports are written and the photos ready, but one fun thing: Australians know NO FREE INTERNET PROVIDERS. They have to pay for their account, pay per minute and even for the ammount of space they up- or download!
Strange country, but I am sure I'll get my stuff online soon. . .

Hey Gerben, that bet: is that between you and me or between you and everybody who reads this website? It will cost you quite some bottles of good French wine, my friend ;-)

It's the evening before the take off of Ramon's second leg of the trip that seems to have gained him a certain Internet fame. Irena's, who you may remember from the Barcelona Christmas report, is on her way to the army barracks in Breda again after she said goodbye to Ramon, who gavce her a boomerang as a symbol he would be back. Gerben is on his way over here from his parents in Nijmegen, where he and Mirjam have had a pleasant and peaceful day. Yes, they indeed fell in love (at last!). We'll have a very nice and probably South African wine tonight and bid him farewell for the next few months. Undoubtedly we'll meet again, proably in a city in Southern Europe again. We'll miss him. And we all wish you take care of him down under! He deserves it...

Hi Ramon,

This is my third posting attempt. For some strange reason, while typing out my post using Opera, the message board disappears and I go back to your main page. Anyway, I'm back with IE. Great that you're off to Australia in a few days! I guess this means that I don't have to wait years before you reach this part of the world. =) Have a safe, comfortable trip (don't forget to take long walks on the plane to avoid DVT) and hope to hear about your adventures again!

Donatella, here's a belated 'buon compleanno!' to you. You share your birthday with my brother. =)

Oh, and does anybody know how long you have to roast cocoa seeds to make chocolate? Thanks!

Regards,
Sharlini

p/s: I noticed IE trying to go back to your main page too....hit the Stop button at the right time. Perhaps that's why there hasn't been many posters in the past few days?

RAMON:
Hi Sharlini, thanks for your writing. The guestbook will stay an external service to my website, say I can't always depend on a great service unless I pay for it ;-)

Hi Ramon


It's really great to hear that you are going to move again. Excellent news indeed. I hope the Oz folk are going to be as hospitable as the South Africans were. And, when they try to get you to support them in rugby, cricket, or anything else, please remember that SA is the only country to support. And the Stormers is the Super 12 team! :-)

Keep strong, Ramon, and don't let the likes of Deidre in Ireland get to you. People that talk like that are possibly jealous that they didn't think of the idea before you did.

You are laerning about life in a way that most of us have no clue about. We just plod along, and you are making the most of it.

Keep strong, and always remember Irena, she seems to be your soulmate. I truly hope that your romance lives long, you deserve a lady like Irena.

To quote John Lennon (I hope I get this right!), "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.". So long you actually do something, and don't just plan to do it, you are living. I wonder if Deidre understands this...

Keep strong, Ramon, and your loyal fans will keep supporting you.

Wow, Deirdre, pretty harsh.

Who said Ramon gave up his journey? All indications thus far have pointed toward a restart of his travelling fairly soon. I'm sure the whole thing did not quite go as Ramon and his team thought it would and they are spending time rethinking some aspects of the project. (a bit of speculation there) If his log kept you interested, then how could it have possibly been a waste of time?

If for any reason Ramon does not go back on the road, then I still thank him for sharing his wonderful experiences on the web site.



RAMON:
History continues: I just don't seem to be able to go along with the Irish... HAHA!

But, thanks, Acadia, you are writing the right thing. Maybe Deidre is also one of those who complain at the TV-stations when her much loved TV-show is off-air for a season. She'll be telling all those TV-producers to GROW UP, because it isn't fair.

And, fortunately I still have a life next to traveling around through this website. And I just don't feel like writing about it that much - at the moment.

But things are progressing. My backup team and me are working on different plans so I can hit the road again. But this time a bit better.

Professional surfers may notice some changes in the website lately (everything is in PHP) and there will be some more to come.

Become a member of the mailinglist to stay up to date with the latest information, because I feel there is a mailing coming up very soon...
