onmymind20061217 one year ago antarctica

Wow, time does move quickly.. One year ago, I was on a plane heading to Antarctica, the greatest location I’ve ever been lucky enough to visit! Read about me travels here. God, being back here in Holland has been one great big depression after such a great experience, but hey, such is life ;)

I have seen/experienced: beautiful cities, unbelievable whales, way too many penguins, not so friendly leopard seals, fantastic landscapes, incredible glaciers, friendly people, excellent wines, no seasickness, a lot of open sea, so much (blue) ice and icebergs, in short:

I had an incredible time!!!
