The city here is crazy at the moment, 42nd Street / Times Square (I had to go back there after the play to get the subway), it is the street with the coolest name, that’s for sure, is at this moment also the most busiest street in New York. Already nearly completely closed down for [...]

I did it. I did it! I was tired and thought that that would be a good moment. Too tired to be afraid of heights, I thought. Yeah right, who was I kidding.

So we met with this man who looked like he had just walked out of a movie : cool. Completely in black, absolutely sharp dressed and wearing a beautifully distinguished black hat. He was going to show us around in Central Park, by night.

I know it’s pathetic to write “not sure I will be writing before the end of the year bla bla bla” just to show up the next day again. I found a cheap internetcafe at last and I mostly had to check if I hadn’t written anything completely ridiculous yesterday, as I was quite a [...]

(Bill Nighy (left) and Andrew Scott) OK, I have to write now, if not I would be screaming on Times Square, and with all the police men going around there, this was the safer option.

Well I am alive and well, and I am in New York! It is an overwhelming city, with very very few internet cafe’s, took me until now to find this one, and they are very expensive. So – dear readers, I am afraid that that means that updates here will be more or less postponed [...]

Journeys … It was a long wait, but I am happy to say that I am off now. It’s up to you, New York, New York … What was the word? Oh, yes, tragic romantic.

Merry Christmas! “Ingrid …” “Davy …., wow, how is New York? I look so much forward to see you again.” “New York is fantastic, you are going to love it, trust me. And I had a great sailing trip, I’ll tell you all about it when you get here.” “I can’t wait… I …” “But [...]

Amy’s View in the Garrick Well let’s not overdo it, but this year it’s really not bad. I am ecstatic, which has not that much to do with presents and Christmas trees but more with the fact that it is now only 2 days before departure and 4 days before Bill. And there was this [...]

After nearly a year with this project, I decided to put the girl on the map. This is just a screenshot, for a zoomable and scrollable map go to the Where is the girl now page. Not in my wildest dreams could I have dreamed of such a large geographical area being covered by this [...]

Hello

Love, love, love If I told you that I have already scored a date, on Tuesday the 26th at 10 am, with a guy who is going to sacrifice some hours of his Christmas day to show me around in New York, would you believe me? Of you course you wouldn’t. I don’t believe it [...]

Travel book girl The Girl on my travel guide Today the girl learned something about London. Just in time … You live in London right? Yeah. Big city. Huge city! So how do you plan to get to Heathrow on Monday? Oh, easy, tube! Piccadilly Line has a direct connection to Heathrow airport, so smart [...]

I stepped in to order something to eat, stood in front of him, trying to find the words as he makes me nervous since he started talking, and I remembered that I had no money. I had spent my last cash on stamps. I just licked at a lot of them, and they taste nasty, [...]

Notebook If I told you that I spent at least 3 hours totally in a shop to find the perfect travel notebook, would you think I was crazy? If so, I am not going to tell you. Oh, you already thought I was crazy anyway. OK then, I spent at least 3 hours to find [...]

Eddy the Goat And so I bought a goat. Say hello to Eddy. While the mind is occupied with New York and the like, it doesn’t mean we can’t think about other people a bit. I like to think that that’s what Christmas is all about. So I bought Eddy. And Eddy is probably going [...]

The Girl on his shoulder She is way less shy than I am, obviously. But I have no idea how she got there.

It’s mine and mine alone … If you don’t care to read about my upcoming trip to New York, then farewell my friend, try again somewhere next year. It is the only thing I can think, dream and probably also write about.

Slarti lands in the middle of London “Now do me a favour” I said to him “and try to land a place where it is a bit quiet. We don’t want too much attention”. A few minutes later he called me. “I’m here!” “Where are you?” “Oh, I just check, it’s a place called Leicester [...]

When I am tired of my job, or get an assignment that bores the hell out of me I always shout that I should have become a garbage man in stead.
