Adventure

This is a brief summary of some of my more adventurous projects.

Adventure
Definition

Yugoslavia
Experiencing a very long bustrip to Zadar where we stayed with friends, interesting atmosphere and culture, but also some tension between mountain people and townspeople ? I mostly enjoyd the waterlife with my halfbrothers, snorkelling and eating a lot of watermelons.

1983

Spain
Celebrating my grandmothers 80th birthday in Coin and also some visits to Marbella.

1985

Mallorca
Just doing the basic stuff here, sun bathing, svimming, eating restaurant food, tasting some liquor at the factory and exploriung the Dragon caves in Portocristo, but I also got a not so good experience of the health care system here.

1988

Maldives
I realized one thing here, there are basically two types of people going here, the honeymoners and the dive fanatics, sorry I forgot, there is one more minor group, the burned out germans, they just sit under the palmtrees with a pile of books behind them, I guess I was more into the watersport thing, doing some serious cocktail diving, taking my open water and advanced open water certificate here. I think my peak experince here was the nightdive, going in the water at sunset and experiencing the enigma of weightlesness in a rapid current along the reef, thinking that I was an Astronaut on a space mission.

1989

Thailand
Oh my goddness experinced paradise according to my still quite naive eyes and the joy of exploring a new country before the real tourist invasion, just wanted to stay there or go home to create some more money to come back very soon.

1990

Rhodos
Got to experience the climb of Acropolis, visited the butterfly valley and the seven water wells, tried som water sports like banana boat, devils rings and waterskiing, got sunburnt, tasted the nightlife and all its drama.

1991

Sailing
The quest for paradise was so strong that me and my friend turned to real workaholics which later led to a ownership of our own sailingboat Allegro 27 with the groovy name Raggamuffin, we prepared for the around the world tour with courses, equipment and very little sailing skills, we where young, brave and inexperienced, unfortunately or fortunately we got to much rough experience with storms, loosing the anchor, loosing the rudder close to the outer archipelago of Stockholm, got lost on the sea chart thanks to a dysfunctional compass, got some motorfailure etc, but the worst thing was the need for 24 hour watch and the seasickness.

1992

Motorcycle
I felt the urge to try a heavy motorbike so I bought this so called two stroke monster Yamaha RD 350, but after trying it for a while I started to wonder what all the fuzz was about ?

1993

India
Looking for so called enligthed masters in orange robes, experiencing so called holy places, trying the monk life in different monastairies, seeking the blessing from different Mahatmas, doing the basic tasks in severel yogic traditions simultaneously, trying Ayurvedic treatment, experiencing my third NDE, enjoying the amzement of the Himalyan mountain, studying so called holy scriptures, meditated for the rest of my life ?, witnessed different miracles, tasted blissful consciousness in the lotus posture.

1995

Sri Lanka
Trekking through teaplantations, explorering the railroad tracks, looking for snorkelling spots and climbing the holy mountian Sri Pada also called Adams Peak.

1995

Egypt
Walking in the desert, combing the coastline for dolpins encounters, meditating in the Giza pyramid during a film shot session, riding camels till my ass was numb, smoking waterpipe, camping in a warm and cosy tent close to the redsea.

2003

Thailand/Cambodia
Visting the temple of Angkor wat, exploring the area with mountainbike, eating my first fried cricket, exploring the islands of koh samui, koh pha-ngan, and koh tao.  Trying to work out in the heat at Jungle Gym, visiting the hyped full moon party, riding motorbike on dangerous roads with tropical winds and rainfall, snorkelling corall reefs, climbing different hilltops. And last but not least exploring Bangkoks supermodern skytrain and subway.

2005

Azores
Exploring the island of Azores with horse riding, whale & dolphin watching, jungle trekking, visiting a Maria chapel, bathing in waterfalls, tasting the local wine.

2006

Mountainbike
I cant understand why I waited so long until I bought my first MTB with dual-suspension, there are only 3 rules when I am out, my mp3 player, no limits, full presence, with that comes the wondeful feeling of my own power, the excitement of the unknown and the bliss of being alive in the moment.

2006

South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe
Swimming in the refreshing golfstream, climbing the dunes at sunrise, experiencing the desert with a real bushman, skydiving over the Namibian desert, living inte Okavanago delta travelling with macaroni, gamewatch from boat in Chobe national park, investigating the Victoria falls from bottom to top.

2006

Motorcycles
I started to dream about my freedom machines at youth, so I thought why not try the two wheel dream again, so I bought a Yamaha TZR 125 cc, It was "Nice" as Borat says but driving with full gas all the time is not so good for the motor, so while my engine was down waiting for a cylinder bore, I thought maybe I should try some more horses under my sadle, so when I saw this Italian beauty I couldnt resist spending my last money on an Aprila RS 250 cc Roadracing machine, that was a totally new acceleration experience/:)
