Lombok

On the island of Lombok, nearly 4 million people live. However, there is no big crowd of people when driving around the island. On the contrary, the deserted, wild beaches are impressive.

Bali

Bali residents joke that there are more temples on the island than houses. This may be true. After Gunung Agung, we are driving towards the ferry, which would bring us to Lombok.

Antalya

Very pleasant and successful trip. Successful in a few senses. First of all, we had a perfect relaxing time at the quite nice beach and in the comfortable hotel. Second, I climbed six Ultra peaks nearby (relatively).

Frida Kahlo

During our walk through Brussels, we visit the Horta Gallery (covered passageway), where we see the exhibition “Frida Kahlo – The Life Of an Icon”. We enjoy original films, video projections and digital installations on the walls, ceiling and floor. It smells a bit commercial, especially the ticket price, but in the end it was…
