Confessions of a Wandering Gypsy Princess

The part where she cries over her Masters degree makes me laugh, until I too start to cry…

I am so excited about the upcoming trip, this is our first major motorcycle trip in 2 years. Last year we only went to Amsterdam on the bikes and that was only for a week in total. Everything else was just weekend trips. So now that we have a 6 week tour [...]

I cant help it, look at how fluffy cute he is!!!

Ok so I am waiting for the German to finish looking for tires for Iceland (apparently in Germany you can not just put any ole tires on your bike without going to jail, but I know as soon I start something, he is going to [...]

Maybe I can help pay for the babies that Johnny seems intent on creating by pitching him as the star of a PS3 game. We have Patrick’s nephews convinced he is a ninja rabbit, he fights crime and does dropkicks (they have seen his impressive sidekicks). Of course when I do the [...]

So Cute:

So harmless looking, and yet I spent 30 mins this morning tearing apart gardens trying to find him, and where did I find him? His tunnel complete, he is in the neighbors backyard with the girl bunny.
Maybe the neighbor is right,
this is the face of a menace!

And we are going mad trying to get everything done. We spent the day at Oma’s (and took our guest from Canada with, but we took the long way round just so that we got a nice ride out of it as well, plus I am of the firm belief that you can not [...]

I love this, the ever wonderful Mz Tracey P put this on my wall on Facebook with the comment that she thinks of me when she sees this. Of course when I did do that I ended up in hospital, but minor detail.

Of course I know that taking off on a long trip does not mean that you are free from everything. You actually kind of start to see long term travel as a job itself, and find yourself checking into a city to stay for a long period and maybe even work. (This is [...]

We both need to travel now. This tax thing is not helping the desire to go of course. Last year we missed a long trip ( a lot of short ones, but only one with the bikes, just not enough). I have the overwhelming desire to just keep on riding after Iceland. [...]

Waaaaaaaarrgg. This is when I want to scream and jump out a window, and when you have the stress of university (2 exams last week, 1 presentation and 1 exam this week, plus group work on a scientific poster using previously collected data), the stress of trying to do your taxes (in a system [...]

I know, why almost. We called today to book and they need our license plate numbers. Since we are actually in the process of changing our plates to the new address we need to wait till tomorrow when we actually pick the plates up. But tomorrow by mid afternoon [...]

I just had a thought, I wonder how easy it would be to compare life insurance quotes and perhaps more importantly, find them all low, should any adjuster ever have to life with the German.
If they went sailing with him they would discover he is part monkey, and therefore probably actually a safer bet than [...]

It may have taken 2 weeks, but here are some pics from 2 weekends ago when we went sailing in the Baltic sea!
The boat:

Captain Moi:

Just sail straight: (easier said than done!)

Getting coffee ready:

This week was insanity for me, we got back from the trip sailing (which reminds me that the pictures are not only up, but fixed! so I can see them and choose to embed them so I choose to do so!) and I had 2 exams, a presentation, and a major project, and [...]

Sometimes its takes awhile but they do still come out!!!!
Watch the end to see where Patrick parked his bike!

The last 2 posts were not just the rambles of a neurotic ADD headcase. On the way home today from the presentation my co presenter was asking me about Japan and living there, and more importantly, the FOOD! Now I am sitting here yearning for deep fried tofu in ginger sauce and thinking [...]

Does anyone else watch this? Alix will visit me in 2 weeks time, she is the one who introduced me to the wonders of Naruto, I use to go to her place after class during our Masters and we would curl up on her couch and eat chocolate and watch hour after hour of [...]

So I just finished a presentation in Heidelberg and we did a fantastic job if I do say so myself! It really is a little ridiculous, when I am in front of everyone and I feel I have the upper hand, I can talk and the size of the audience does not [...]
