I love that middle pic of the street.
That’s in Santiago itself, it was very nice to cruise around that place without having to prepare for yet more walking the next day.
Did you guys watch the film or read the book before going? I really wanna do it for jokes (I love walking) my wife wants to do it for spiritual stuff
Nope not seen the film, I kept thinking of Bill Bryson’s book a Walk in the Woods while doing it which I’ll have to read again I think.
Not the film with Martin sheen? That one is shit.
I didn’t say the film was good I meant more, how did he find out about it was all
Ah yeah that one was great!
Have you read I’m a Stranger Here Myself?
No, but it’s on the list! The last one I read was At Home which was incredibly interesting but a lot to take in.
The body is a good one, found it interesting.
Im in France, 1100km from home, knackered from the drive but absolutely stoked to be here again. Have floated in the sea and it is 100% my happy place
What are the chances you are in Marseille?
About 750 km away im afraid. Why?
Need someone to go to a flat viewing for me and take a video, the agent changed the time of the open house and we cant go anymore.
Ah shit sorry mate, bit out of the way Im afraid
Whereabouts are you?
You go all the way down there for the philly?
Trains are fucked for us to get down to catch the Eurostar on Friday
Any links for cheap car or one way van hire?
Just got back from a 10-day road trip across Benelux.
Luxembourg: is very Swiss. Loads of restaurants and banks, very clean and very safe. Local skaters were super friendly. Loads of skaters.
Rotterdam: so different from Amsterdam. Very modern. Mad architecture. Good skate spots.
Bruges: sooo beautiful! Good restaurants. Too many tourists, go there in September or October I’d say. Cobblestones everywhere.
Brussels: fantastic. Great bars, good restaurants, exceptional beers, the Magritte museum… Everyone there is so friendly. Good skate scene with great people.
I had been to the Netherlands and Belgium before and I’ll keep going there, I really like the quality of life in Holland and Belgium is awesome.
Off to Sweden next week for the first time since covid hit, really really excited. I used to go there every month or so with work, can’t wait to be back.
