I haven't been loyal with my updates lately, but here it is! The reason is probably my little baby girl. Yeah, I should add another one to the list below, but that might be a bit inappropriate and would take my overall succession rate down haha. Anyway, it's a bit harder to make time for hobbies, but in my belief, they're very important. Not as important as family, but they should not be neglected.</p><p>So, what has happened (or what didn't)?</p><p><google-sheets-html-origin></google-sheets-html-origin></p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr" style="border-collapse: collapse;

It's 2021, no one reads a blog anymore, right? Well, you do. And for me, it's a way to keep a logbook. It's also nice for those who are looking for information on certain species and growing methods. Once in a while, I receive a message from someone who finds one of my articles helpful, and that's why I share! A blog is, in my opinion, way more organized than a YouTube channel (imagine a YouTube channel about plants!). </p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Acanthocalycium thionanthum</span></span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wikUo-v6flI/YARrhs-rggI/AAAAAAAAYb4/1iM6w6UPC2UP_udw1B1FiWPpIhtw92s5QCLcBGAsYHQ/s4032/20210117_134101.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="195" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wikUo-v6flI/YARrhs-rggI/AAAAAAAAYb4/1iM6w6UPC2UP_udw1B1FiWPpIhtw92s5QCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h195/20210117_134101.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>A. thionanthum had a succesion rate of 5%, but the ones that popped up are still there.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Lophophora fricii</span></h3><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qodu4kNp8PU/YARsIFAloiI/AAAAAAAAYcs/_pGlcjLfbgYlnvDbYb7vW1yVDzEeqBVxQCLcBGAsYHQ/s4032/20210117_133909.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="1960" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qodu4kNp8PU/YARsIFAloiI/AAAAAAAAYcs/_pGlcjLfbgYlnvDbYb7vW1yVDzEeqBVxQCLcBGAsYHQ/w312-h640/20210117_133909.jpg" width="312" /></a></p><p>Still going strong.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Lophophora williamsii</h3><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YRYTBmJZXjE/YARr7aXo-sI/AAAAAAAAYcc/38ZSQRuQCoQTdkRmNblTMV69WyMuUbhlwCLcBGAsYHQ/s4032/20210117_133951.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="195" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YRYTBmJZXjE/YARr7aXo-sI/AAAAAAAAYcc/38ZSQRuQCoQTdkRmNblTMV69WyMuUbhlwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h195/20210117_133951.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p>The best results till now: 45%.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Monilaria moniliformis</h3><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ix7iiB23L2Q/YARr8a2GpkI/AAAAAAAAYco/EE0yW_Z7JpolX_nenY3FuVQ3DbO49FKNgCLcBGAsYHQ/s4032/20210117_134111.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="4032" height="195" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ix7iiB23L2Q/YARr8a2GpkI/AAAAAAAAYco/EE0yW_Z7JpolX_nenY3FuVQ3DbO49FKNgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h195/20210117_134111.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p>I'm happy that at least some have survived till now.

The success rate is definitely lower than in the previous years, but let's see the survival rate after one year. The gravel might give the seedlings a little benefit. From my experience, all the normal germinating species (all but Tephrocactus and Maihuenia) should be done with germinating. This means that I still can't make Euphorbia seeds germinate and this pisses me off a little. They say the seeds must be fresh, and I believe these were fresh, but there must be something that I do (or don't do) that causes the 0. If anyone knows the magical method, please contact me.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's it for today.

Right now it's 15 minutes past midnight, so I'm actually a bit late with the update. I'm also a bit tired so I'll just post the results. As you can see, we have one more Peyote, one more Peruvian torch and we're one Sulcorebutia short.<br />

Yeah, we're doing good... Right now. I'm still a bit nervous about keeping them alive after a couple of months, when they're sleeping (it's a winter grower) and I can't give them water. They'll be way too small to keep them completely dry and will die for sure. I'm planning to add a Toodledo task to my list so that I'll spray them every day, just a little bit. If they do survive, I'm a hero!</div>

Strange, the way that they're growing elongated. All the other species are doing great. Is it normal? Not sure. Will they recover normally? No idea. I do like the Sulcorebutia family a lot, so next year I'll try different methods. Maybe they should stand a bit colder while germinating. If anyone knows the trick or is sure that this is normal, please contact me. I'm really eager to learn.</div>

This species is actually one of my first favorites, and I wanted to grow them back in 2011. I didn't do so, because of the enormous size of this plant. Then I kinda forgot about it and started sowing Saguaros and T. terscheckii (for those who do not understand what I've just written down; these plants can be twice as high as your house!). With my experience from the last ten years, I now know that it takes decennia and sometimes even more than an age till they're that big. </div>

Another nice Trichocereus. This one is used by indigenous tribes in Peru to make a special tea. All that I'll tell you here right now is that it's not some type of Earl Gray.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I should mention here that Trichocereus is not officially the family's name anymore. They now use Echinopsis, but in my opinion, all the species that were called Trichocereus, have soo much in common with each other, that for clarity, I'll still call them Trichocereus.<br />
<br />
Till next week! Hopefully with better results.<br />

As promised, this post will show you the results from two weeks after sowing. Meanwhile, we're still in a so-called "intelligent lockdown" here in the Netherlands (1,5 m distance to each other, schools are closed, working from home as much as possible and all events canceled at least till June), but we've decided to stay at home as much as possible. Not for ourselves, but for the elderly and the sick.<br />
<br />
Another thing that I would like to mention here is that, next to the baby cacti and other succulents, we're also expecting a babygirl somewhere in June! Becoming a father is one of the most amazing things that has happened to me, and having another kid (a girl this time) is turning my life upside down from happiness. My lovely wife is doing really well and she's an incredibly beautiful and radiant pregnant woman (kind of the same as normal, but then with a huge baby inside of her belly). We don't have a name yet, but she'll be the prettiest girl in the whole world for sure! I feel like the luckiest man on earth!<br />
<br />
Back to the world of cacti again...<br />

As you can see, some species go faster than others. I'm not sure why, but Lophophora williamsii normally germinates a bit faster. It might be the thin layer of fine gravel on top of the seeds that makes it a bit harder for them to grow through. We'll see the final peyote germination results in a few weeks from now I guess.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for the others, they're doing fine, except for E. platyclada, M. poeppigii and T. geometricus, but these species are difficult to germinate. It may even take a full year (or even more) to see a Tephrocactus seedling. Wish me luck here...</div>

From my experience, Sulcorebutia seedlings should be well protected from the sun, otherwise, they'll fall out quickly.<br />

M. moniliformis seedlings need special attention in the first few years. It's a winter grower but can't stand too dry during the summer at this age. The chance of surviving is small, but I took the challenge.<br />

Both the Trichocereus species seem to do well. 26,6 % till now. But we can do better than that, so let's hope for better results next week!<br />

This is the third time I sow an Acanthocalycium species, and they do germinate well, but need enough protection from the sun.

Like I've said before; I've had better results, quicker at least, but that was without the thin layer of fine gravel on top of the seeds. They might need a little more time to break through and we'll maybe have to be a bit more patient. That's it for today. Let's see what there's to show next week! Take care.</div>

Just a short update about my sowing results. I've sown the seeds on the 1st of April, so the noted numbers at '1 w' (= after one week) are from the 8th of April. And because I didn't took a picture that day, I'll share today's photo of my newborn Peyotes (sorry for the pic not being that great!).<br />

</tbody></table>
As you can see, three more popped up during the last few days. Some other species are also germinating a bit faster now. On the 15th of April, which is the upcoming Wednesday, I'll post some more photos. They still might be a bit "foggy" because of the humidity inside the containers, but this is how I'm also seeing them right now.<br />
<br />
Today I've read an article in the Succulenta magazine (April 2020, Jaargang 99) about sowing cacti and other succulents. In the end, the auteur (Andre van Zuijlen) mentioned that sharing detailed and structured sowing results is very interesting for other hobbyists because right now they're hard to find online. This got me thinking... I used to take note of my results and share them. From now on I'm doing that again! Thank you for reading and till the next post.<br />

Hello friends. Here's part 2 of the sequence; 'The sowing'. This title sounds like some sort of boring movie, but it's actually a very relaxing activity, something that could be of aid to many of you during the current crisis. I've done the work described below on April the 1st.</div>

This year. I've used a slightly different method compared to the previous years. I didn't use perlite at all but instead used a mixture of one part baked clay, one part cocopeat and one part fine gravel.<br />

After mixing it all up, I've added a little water and put the mixture in the oven for about 45 minutes (220 degrees celsius/428 degrees Fahrenheit, but I guess the temperature is not that strict).<br />

After it cooled down, I added enough water to get the entire soil soaked, but not soo soaked that the water drips off when you squeeze it in your hand.<br />
<br />
Something that has not changed is the usage of transparent plastic containers with lids. I just punched some holes in the bottom, and they were good to go.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div>
Then I filled the containers up with the prepared soil, flatted it all a bit and added the seeds. Most of the seeds were added on top of the soil, except the Tephrocactus seeds, which are much larger than the rest. I've tried a little experiment with these larger seeds because the last time I've sown them, they did not germinate at all. The method that I've used is named scarification. I've just carved a small cut in each of the seeds and burrowed them a little in the soil. Before following my lead, I recommend you wait my following posts, to see if it worked out well or not.</div>

Thereafter, I've covered all the seeds (also the other species) with a thin layer of fine gravel, something I've seen many times online but never did so myself. This is supposed to help spread the sunlight and prevent the lower parts of the seedlings to stand in soil that is too moist.</div>

We're still doing fine here, although I did almost decapitated my right-hand today while doing the dishes. A plate broke in half and made a deep cut in my thumb. Nothing scary, but I had to go to the hospital and that's not the place to be during this pandemic! Luckily everything was well organized there and there weren't many people in the first aid waiting-room. Fifteen minutes, one stitch and three "stitching bandages". Not too bad!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Time to show off my new purchase. In my previous blog, I've already written about it; I've bought myself a new greenhouse! It's not a huge one, but even with my entire collection in it, I still have plenty of room for more. Why I've bought a new one? Check out the following photo of my old one:<br />

I've had this one for a long time. For six years it has resisted wind, frost and the sun, and till last year it was still going strong. UV-radiation will cause a chemical reaction in plastic surfaces after a while and the storms earlier this year have blown off the roof and opened up the sides. I had to use garbage-bags to keep my plants dry! Not a pretty sight, as you can see.<br />

Not as high, but almost twice as wide; enough space for the following years. I'm still trying to organize my cacti a bit more. Not sure yet if I'll sort them by species, region, form or size, but I'm already quite happy with the overall look.<br />

Hello all! Long time, no see. Weird times, right?! It has been a while since my last post. I hope everyone is doing alright, and I would like to encourage you not to fill your entire days with searching the internet for stuff that won't help you any further. Just follow the instructions and check out the official news (unless you live in Brasil, then look at the rest of the world. ;) ). Due to the current crisis, we all have some extra time and we should spend it with our families and on stuff that makes us happy.<br />

I don't want to steal online images from other sites and I am too lazy to ask for permission, so the first pictures that I'll show you are of the seeds (see above), followed by the seedlings of course. I can tell you this: they're either very beautiful or soo ugly that they become interesting and beautiful all the same.<br />
<br />
I'll sow them during the first week of April, but also share the preparation on this blog, so if you're interested, don't forget to return once in a while.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tiny green-house</b></span><br />
After six years of standing outside in the freezing cold during the winter and in the full sun during the summer, my current green-house is falling apart. It was time to get myself a new one, and so I did. If everything goes by plan, I'll be able to show off my new purchase somewhere next week. Till then and stay safe!<br />

I like backpacks and never leave my home without one. Why? Because it's so freakin' handy; you can carry whatever you want and keep your hands free. Needless to say, I do carry a bunch of stuff. A water bottle, study books, First Aid Kit, EDC pouch, my lunch box, etcetera, just to name a few.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'You already have three backpacks! Why do you need another one?!', said my lovely wife. 'Well...because this might be THE ONE!', I answered. Then she said smiling: 'Okay, if it makes you happy, go buy it.'. I love that woman! She has to live with all the cacti, whisky, pipes and EDC stuff. She must love me a lot too, haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took me a while to decide whether I should buy a tactical backpack or just a normal looking one. There are things to say about both options. A tactical backpack might call too much attention. I mean, I don't want to walk around like John James Rambo. On the other hand, tactical backpacks have a lot of options. It's fairly easy to attach a pouch or just anything you want to the Molle system (pronounced "Molly"). The more common looking packs do blend better in an urban environment, but after packing the rain cover from my old Deuter, I can easily hide the tactical appearance when <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=TSHTF" target="_blank">TSHTF</a> (of course it's also handy for when I need to walk for long period of time in heavy rain).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Deuter</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last backpack was a Deuter Spider 20 and before that one, I've had a slightly larger Deuter. Now, I'm not going to complain a lot about Deuter, because their Backpacks are top-notch and will last for many years. However, the 'Air Comfort' system on their smaller packs annoys the crap out of me. Yes, it does keep my back cooler, but it also pulls my shirt up every few steps I take. The empty space between the 'Air Comfort' panel and the actual pack also gives you a smaller backpack than necessary and because of this, both the rear and the front of the pack are round. Just some books, a lunchbox and a sweater are enough to fill it up (I'm talking about the 20-liter backpacks with 'Air Comfort'). Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion. I just want you to be aware of it. If you ever feel like buying this particular backpack, go to a store, put some weight in it and walk around at your normal speed. Enough about my old pack. Let's move on to the Rush 12!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
5.11 Tactical RUSH12™</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are three different Rush packs on the market: the 12, 24 and the 72, which can be translated to half a day, one day and three days.<em> </em>I<em> </em>was looking for a not-too-large EDC(Every Day Carry) bag that can carry all the stuff named above and maybe offer some extra space for a sweater or a jacket. After seeing a few reviews on YouTube, the Rush 12 seemed my best option. I've decided to go for the black version. Mainly because it looks just a bit less tactical than the 'Multicam', 'Sandstone' or 'Double Tap'. There were other options on the market, but taking quality, price, and availability in consideration, the 5.11 Tactical RUSH12™ beats them all. I've ordered my Rush 12 at <a href="http://www.nightgearstore.com/">www.nightgearstore.com</a> (UK) and they've actually shipped it within a week for "free" to the Netherlands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Rush 24 seemed a bit too fat to carry around in an urban environment. Imagine yourself standing in a loaded bus with a huge pack on your back. That's why I've decided to go for the Rush 12 and make use of the Molle system so that I can expand to the sides. That is why, next to the backpack, I've also ordered their H2O carrier (before ordering this pouch, check if your bottle will fit in it. I have an 800ml/27oz Klean Kanteen with a stainless steel lid. The plastic lids are higher and you won't be able to close the pouch properly). Later on, I'll maybe add another pouch to the other side of the bag).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm actually surprised about how much space this bag offers. As mentioned above, I carry quite a bit each day. Let me list what I do carry in it on a regular day:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">EDC-pouch (EDCM-Husky by Vanquest);</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">First Aid Kit;</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">E-reader;</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Power bank;</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">USB cables</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Pen drive;</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Pens</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">2 study books;</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Klean Kanteen water bottle (800ml/27oz);</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">1 sweater.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And even then, there is still a lot of free space left. Last week I traveled with my family and was able to fit in some clothes of my son and the camera bag of my wife. Still some free space left! Let's see how much it takes to fill it up entirely.</div>

Kind of impressive, right?! I also use the Rush 12 as a sports bag and simply leave everything in it that I would carry on a regular day and just add a towel, my boxing shorts, some sports shoes, hand wraps and attach the gloves with the straps on the sides of the bag. Of course, I could fit in everything if I would take out my kits, but I rather leave them in there. You never know when you need something.</div>

As some of you might know, we went to visit our family in Brazil this year. It was the first time for our son to meet that part of the family and we all had an amazingly good time. Arthur loved it over there! Within one week, our little Batavian turned into a Brazilian kid; running around on Havaianas, talking Portuguese.</div>

2017's seedlings</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Normally I buy my seeds somewhere in January or February, but this year I was in Brazil during that period, so what could I do?! Then I found the solution in a Brazilian hypermarket, close to my mother-in-law's house: "mixed" seed packages. Nice! They're growing well and although I don't know it for sure yet, they might be Saguaros or <i>Echinocereus grusonii</i>-s. Time will show.</div>

Since last year, this great event became a special father-son day for Arthur and I. Since last time, he has asked me at least once a week about this cactus event. To understand the fun a three-year-old can have at a cactus show, you should know that it's inside a huge cactus nursery where there's a lot of space to run and even a bouncing castle for children to jump in.</div>

One part of the nursery was, as every year, made available for hobbyists to sell their plants. This is the part where you can find all the rarities and specialities and of course a lot of nice people. Arthur has won two plants for just walking by (and being cute I guess) while we were walking there.</div>

Keep in mind that this nursery is really HUGE and that these two photos only show you a very small part of it. Instead of being focused on making photos, I was enjoying each and every minute there with my son and all the beautiful plants around us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Inside the nursery, there was also one spot that contained the private collection of Ubink's owners. I should have taken more and better pictures! Next time, I promise. ;-)<br />

Can't go home without cacti when you go to a cactus show! I'm still figuring out (with all the help I can get) the names of all the species that I've bought, but I'm sure about having bought an <i>Ariocarpus retusus</i>, an <i>Astrophytum myriostigma</i> and a <i>Lophophora williamsii. </i>There is also an <i>Astrophytum </i>asterias<i> x </i><i>nudum</i>, which I had mistaken for an <i>asterias. </i>Too bad, because I'm like the Salazar Sytherin amongst the cactus collectors, so I prefer to have "pure-bloods". ;-)</div>

I´ve always been fascinated by the Ariocarpus family and this <i>Ariocarpus retusus</i> is a beauty. It´s a very strange looking fellow if you ask me. Very different from any other cactus and although it´s not very similar, I do think this family fits in well with my <i>Lophophora williamsii</i> collection.<br />

I could not leave this plant behind either. <i>Astrophytum myriostigma</i> is also known under the name ´Bishop´s hat´ and can be found in highlands of central and northern Mexico (and also in my little greenhouse now ;-) ).<br />

I've bought this plant back in 2009 while I was in Amsterdam with my wife. I have to admit that I didn't even know that it was a cactus at that time and I certainly didn´t know about all the cultural and psychedelic aspects! For us, it was just a funny and squeezable, succulent ball. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, it´s flowering and that makes me happy.</div>

Hi there! Here's another post about another flowering cactus. This time, I'm talking about one of my Peyotes, that has unexpectedly surprised me with a very small, white-pinkish flower. This is my first flowering Peyote. I've bought this plant back in 2014 from "Danny de Cactus", a shop in Rotterdam. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a Lophophora williamsii var. caespitosa(caespitosa means growing in clusters). In my opinion, this is not a variety, but a form. Let's say that I'm not yet convinced it is a variety. I've bought and sown some L. williamsii var. caespitosa seeds in 2012 and If they'll all (or at least a couple of them) grow clusters in the near future, I'll accept that it is a variety and not a form.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lophophora williamsii's natural habitat stretches out from the state Texas (USA) to San Luis Potosi (Mexico). It's a spineless cactus that mainly grows solitary, but sometimes grow clusters (like the one I'm showing you right here). This plant has a worldwide reputation for being a strong psychedelic hallucinogen. Like I've mentioned in some of my previous posts, this plant is used during shamanistic rituals by some Native American tribes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not going to write a complete essay on this plant, because there is already soo much info online on this little friend (<strong><a href="http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/LOPHOPHORA/Lophophora_williamsii/Lophophora_williamsii_caespitosa/Lophophora_forma_caespitosa.htm" target="_blank">CHECK</a></strong>).</div>

I own this plant for only two years and to understand how small the flower is, you should know that this plant has a diameter of only 5 cm. Although the flower is a bit crooked, I'm still glad to see that my "work" is paying off. I can't wait to have more Peyotes flowering at the same time so that I can try some pollination!</div>
<div align="justify">

<div align="justify">
That's it for today. Meanwhile, two other plants are flowering; one Rhipsalis elliptica and (again) my Copiapoa hypogaea var. barquitensis. The latter only has two flowers at the moment. It's actually flowering throughout all summer, but not as abundant as in June (see one of my previous posts <strong><a href="http://gypscoprotheres.blogspot.nl/2016/06/More-cactus-flowers-some-new-plants.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong>). I'm not sure if I'll be able to show you more flowering plants this year, so there's a big chance my next blog will be about Bock beer, whisky and/or pipes. Take care!</div>

I assume this is a Mammillaria backebergiana, but I'm not hundred percent sure about this ID. Plants from local plant shops almost never come with a more detailed label than 'Cactus', so it's always research and guess-work before being able to name a plant. Like most Mammillarias, its origin lies in Mexico.<br />

This post is all about beer, so sit back, grab yourself a bottle and enjoy.<br />
<br />
My brother, my brother-in-law and I planned a survival/camp trip to the Belgian wilderness, but it turned into a sublime beer taste experience instead, and a night at an almost deserted trailer park.<br />
<br />
The park owner was one of those typical old men who enjoys drinking his bottle of Carlsberg in front of the TV while watching his favourite television program about drugs and sex... I find it funny and at the same time a little scary when a man manages to change a completely innocent conversation about beer into nastiness in one single sentence. Talking about an awkward moment! "Yeah, we gotta go now..." And off we went.<br />

<br />
It was last Saturday when the three of us paid a visit to a very interesting and small brewery in Overijse (Flemish Brabant), Belgium. It could have been any other brewery, because Belgium has 176 of them, but we were lucky enough to strike down at the terrace of Freddy "Job" Delvaux his place: Brewery 'De Kroon'.<br />
<br />
Our plan was to attend a tour and have some beers afterwards, but on our way to the brewery, we spotted an extremely muscular bull and stopped for almost half an hour to make photos of it. Anyway, we missed the tour and ended up drinking beer at the terrace.<br />
<br />
We have tried three different beers this day and started of with Delvaux Special Blond, 8,5%, complex and lightly sweet. All three of us enjoyed this beer a lot, but we were completely overwhelmed with the next beer on the menu: Job, a fruity blond beer (unfiltered) with 6% alcohol and a malty aftertaste. On of the best beers we've ever had! I was so impressed that I complimented the waiter and told him all three of us really loved this beer. In response, he told us that the brewer himself was present at the brewery and that he would call him for us.<br />
<br />
<h2>
The professor</h2>
And that's how we met Professor Freddy Delvaux, one of Belgium's most famous beer specialists, also known as "Job" and "The best nose in Belgium".<br />
I've looked him up online and found the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>Finished his Ph.D. in microbiology in 1972;</li>
<li>19 years head at the laboratory of the Artois brewery in Leuven;</li>
<li>Set up a beer laboratory at the university in Leuven, which he headed for about 22 years;</li>
<li>Opened a brewery after retiring from his earlier job.</li>
</ul>
Now that's a man who lives his dream. He sat down at our table, drank some beers with us and talked with us about his passion: beer! Then he asked us if we had seen the old brewery and after our 'Nope', he took us on a short tour. The old brewery, which is historically preserved, was active from 1897 till the 1980s. It was like we traveled back in time. What a magnificent place!<br />
<br />

Then he showed us where they make the beer today. I've never seen such an organized and impressive laboratory, dedicated to brew beer. Unconsciously, I try to believe that they make beer the same way they did it 200 years ago, but who am I fooling? Of course designers of beer commercials and bottle labels try to encourage these romantic thoughts. After seeing 'De Kroon's' clean and structured laboratory, I've accepted the fact that modern technology can really make a big difference. We're talking about perfection and consistency of one of our favourite beverages!<br />
<br />
In an earlier post, I wrote about a beer called 'La Trappe - Quadrupel', a Dutch Trappist and guess what? Freddy is one of the few standing at its cradle and helped to develop this delicious beer (which is one of my all-time favorites). Now, how about that?!<br />
<br />
We had a few more glasses of beer and headed back to the campsite for some rest. Sunday afternoon we traveled back to our families in the Netherlands with an empty beer glass of 'De Kroon' (bought at the brewery) as a memory of this special day.<br />

At the end of our tour I spotted this old Bruichladdich cask, and although I wasn't having a dram at the moment, it put a smile on my face (this is my "I'm having a beer and I'm happy" smile by the way). Don't get me wrong; I really appreciate good quality beer, but single malt whisky is still my number one!<br />
<br />
This Laddie cask has inspired me to write more about whisky in the future. I'm planning to visit Scotland with my wife and son so that we can check out my favourite distilleries, enjoy the beauty of this land and eat some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis" target="_blank"><strong>haggis</strong></a>!<br />

For one who cultivates plants, there is no greater reward than healthy growth and pretty flowers. This time, it's the old Copiapoa hypogaea var. barquitensis that I've bought three weeks ago at the Cactus & Succulent show in Kudelstaart and a Mammillaria bombycina from the local plant shop.</div>

I've bought this Mammillaria bombycina back in 2013 at a local plant shop, not the best place to buy succulents (they usually stand somewhere in the dark and get way too much water), but sometimes you can be lucky. Putting it in a decent soil mix and giving it some good care has finally paid off. This is the first time that this Mammillaria is flowering.<br />

When you don't know this species, you might think it's died, but no. This is as pretty as it gets. Hell yeah! Talking about awkward plants, right? It's even flowering. I've been wanting this species for many years. I even tried to sow it back in 2013 and failed terribly.<br />
<br />
This week I've read an article about this species on the Dutch 'Succulenta' website. It's kind of hard - if not, impossible - to find this plant for sale, so I've sent an email to the author and asked him if he knew where to buy one. In his kind reply, he told me that he would be glad to send me a one-year-old seedling and he even added some more information about and photos of this species. Added to the small package was a cutting of another bizarre looking plant:<br />

All that I know about C. adrianae is that it's from Madagascar and that it looks "funny" (quoting my son here). I think it's awesome! Some plants are just so ugly that they become beautiful, if you get what I mean.<br />

Góðan dag! Today's post is all about new additions to my cactus & other succulent collection and about the day trip to the Ubink Cactus & Succulent nursery with my two-year-old son.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each year, there's an event called 'Cactus & Vetplantendag' at Ubink's, which means: 'Cactus and Succulent day'. This was my second time and my son's first (!). I already knew that I wouldn't be able to take a lot of pics this time, other than the ones of Arthur running around in this gigantic greenhouse and a video where he disappears in a group of 4 meter high cereuses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't taken any pics, so I'm going to describe the place with words and then show you some photos of my purchases.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What can I say about the nursery? It's a really big greenhouse that covers over 60.000 square meters and it's filled with succulent plants. Once a year it's open for hobbyists, who are then able to buy plants for a very decent price. You probably can imagine that I felt like a kid in a candy store! One part of the greenhouse was reserved for hobby breeders to sell their plants. The perfect place to find pretty and rare species. Man, I loved it over there, but Arthur loved it even more. Totally worth it!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took us 3 hours to get in Kudelstaart, but even the trip alone was more than worth it: my son swore that he saw a squirrel in the trees from the train and a little later he even saw a hippopotamus! The Dutch fauna keeps amazing me...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Around 12 am we arrived at the nursery. Arthur was really impressed: "Oh! Cactusbeurs! Yes! Look at all those Cactuses!". The entrance was recognizable by a beautiful cactus garden. Inside we were welcomed with some refreshments (coffee and lemonade) before we both went berserk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, I can try to describe each path and all the species inside the nursery, but instead of wasting our time, I'm going to show you the same video as I did in 2014:</div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm very aware that it's a bad quality video and I only post it to give you a small impression, so please don't give it anymore thumbs-down on YouTube! I got one thumb down and it has made me sad for at least half a second. ;-) By the way: my son loves this video and always asks me to show it (must be Nino Rota's funny music combined with the turbo mode).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a little bit harder to check out all the plants this time, so we had to walk by at least 20 times before being able to choose what to buy, but I don't mind. We had a great time! After 3 hours of fun, laughter, a lot of running and buying, we went home with the following purchases:<br />

This is the second Medusoid species of the Euphorbia family that I've added to my collection. In 2014 I've purchased an E. gorgonis from the same nice man at that year's 'Cactus & Succulent day'. E. pugniformis (the new one) is actually close related to E. gorgonis:</div>

What-up?! This is now by far (in my opinion) the most beautiful Peyote I own! Flat and almost disappearing in the ground.

Another winter hardy Opuntia. This tiny plant will grow quite big, the seller told me. And I'll be able to grow this plant outside, even here in the Netherlands.</div>

Good day to all of ya! It's time for another post about cacti and an update on this year's sowing plans. The idea was not to sow hundreds of seeds this time, but those who've read my previous post about cacti already know about this mission's failure. A nice guy from the United Kingdom has already sent me <a href="http://gypscoprotheres.blogspot.nl/2016/01/a-package-from-uk.html" target="_blank"><b>hundreds of seeds</b></a> and that's on top of the placed order at Succulenta.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here are some photos were taken in my greenhouse:</div>

</tbody></table>
It might be hard to imagine, but this cactus can reach over 8 meters in height. This will take many years of course, but the Cardon Grande grows a lot faster than the Saguaro for example. Somewhere in the future, this green little fellow probably will cause some discussions between me and my wife. But for now, I'm good. :-)<br />

This Peruvian cactus was also sown in 2012.

This little fellow came from the same seed package as the previously shown B. candelaris, but it's different from all the other plants ever since it first popped up. I'm guessing that it came from a lost seed or maybe is a sort of mutant. If it will survive for at least 5 years, I'll be able to ask an expert to help me out with the identification.<br />

What?! I've added a link to a Google image search to each species for those who are curious.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
Too many seeds... Good to know that not all of them will germinate and if so, survive the first 3 years. Not good to know is that I'll be out of space very soon. Nothing to worry about, because I'll just build a larger greenhouse!<br />
<br />
When I tell someone that my collection contains more than 400 plants, that person usually thinks that my house looks like the Sonoran Desert or something alike, but that ain't the case. I actually have 96% of my plants outside in a small greenhouse on one square meter. I'm very creative with space and I'll be alright for a couple of years more. These succulent plants usually grow very slowly. Take for example one of m5-year-oldld Saguaro seedlings which has a diameter of only 1,5 cm.<br />
<br />
The next challenge is to find a place where all my plastic seed containers may stand for at least 1 year. Sunlight, protection against Wonnebald (our cat) and my wife's approval are of great importance. A cacti collector's life ain't that easy as you can see!<br />
<br />
That's it for today.

<span style="text-align: justify;">Hello, friends! Here's a short post about Saturday night's Whisky Nosing & Tasting at the Aqua Zoo in Leerdam. The theme was 'Whiskies around the world', so next to a couple of Scottish drams, I've also tasted one from The Netherlands, Ireland, the United States of America, Japan and even one from India!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It has been such a wonderful evening that I forgot to use my camera. Too bad, because the place was astonishing pretty! We were surrounded by many beautiful fishes, frogs, and turtles. I'll definitely return to this place together with my lovely wife and son to check out all the fish tanks, poludaria and its inhabitants (and then I will use my camera!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The pictures below are made by <b>Martin Romijn</b>, who has organized this nosing & tasting together with <b>Paul Martens</b> from <b><a href="http://www.whiskyinfoplus.nl/" target="_blank">Whisky Info Plus</a> (check it out)</b>. I already knew Paul and his presentation was as expected: lots of interesting information brought in a clear and refreshing way. He included some whisky-myths and tore them apart with facts. I've learned, for example, that whisky aged on sherry casks doesn't get its brown colour from the sherry, but from the European oak and that the major part of all Scottish whisky isn't aged close to the sea like many distilleries wants us to believe, but inland in warehouses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Each presented whisky was accompanied with a special appetizer, made by Martin's wife, Marion, and his son Tigo. They all matched the aromas of each whisky perfectly. These snacks actually helped me a couple of times to name the aromas while I was tasting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm just going to give a very short review and my personal note on each whisky that I've tasted yesterday. Keep in mind that my knowledge and capability to recognize all the different aromas is still limited and that I still think of myself as a beginner.</div>

After a few drops of water the taste became less bitter, fewer raisins, but more complex overall, softer, warm sweet (?). I'll definitely buy a bottle! (added to my wishlist) <b>8.7</b></li>
<li><b>Glengoyne 10 yo:</b> (Scotland) Tastes young, slightly sharp in the mouth, soft sherry taste (not overwhelming at all), dates, very obviously dates. It's a decent whisky, but I won't buy an entire bottle. <b>8.5</b></li>

<li><b>Glengoyne 21 yo: </b>(Scotland) just loved this dram! Very complex, soft, dark chocolate (not too strong) and something that reminds of the zoo. The strong odor of gorillas/lions/crocodiles. This might seem a little crazy, but it's exactly that odor that I'm tasting. Very different from anything else I've ever tasted. WANTED!<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> (added to my wishlist) </span>8.9</b></li>
<li><b>Amrut Kadhambam:</b> (India) Of course this is my personal opinion. Lightly bitter, exotic spices, a little sharp and burning in the throat and there is something else that I don´t like. Some weak taste in the background that makes a little bit nauseous. I´ve had this dram during a nosing & tasting and everyone else loved it, so you might as well forget what I´ve just written down. ;-) <b>7.6</b></li>
<li><b>Millstone Lightly Peated 2005: </b>(The Netherlands) A nicely peated whisky. The fact that its distillery is located in the Netherlands surprised me! The quality of this whisky isn't less than the average Scottish dram. I taste vanilla, peat, and some spicy aromas in the background. I've had this one at a whisky nosing & tasting and almost everyone else loved it, but I have to be honest: it's just not my thing. <b>8.2</b></li>
<li><b>Bunnahabhain 1997 vW: </b>(Scotland) This was my first Bunnahabhain ever and it has made me very curious! Full taste, complex, peat (not heavily), sweet, vanilla and much more. I still find it a little hard to name what I taste in general, but I love the overall taste of this dram! I know that Bunnahabhain isn't peated normally, but I'll definitely check out more of this brand! <b>8.8</b></li>
<li><b>Octomore Edition 07.2: </b>(Scotland) Lots of peat (of course), very overwhelming, but still complex. I love peated whiskys, but I don't know if I'd buy a bottle of Octomore. Maybe I will, just to understand the complexity that is hidden behind the peat. <b>8.6</b></li>

Hello, readers! Yesterday I've received a package from the United Kingdom. A box filled up with plants and seeds from a fellow forum member of the <a href="http://www.cactiguide.com/" target="_blank">Cactiguide.com</a> forum. That's what this post is all about and nothing more.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I was actually only looking for some Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis cuttings, but there was a little more inside the box. Although I'm a little bit scared of the upper left seed package, I do appreciate these gifts very much! (thanks again, Steve!)<br />
<br />
Now let me see. What do we have here:<br />
<br />
<u>Plants</u>:<br />
<ul>
<li>2 Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis</li>
<li>1 Harrisia jusbertii cutting</li>
<li>1 Opuntia elata/bergerensis cutting</li>
<li>3 Euphorbia obesa seedlings</li>
<li>1 Astrophytum asterias</li>
<li>1 Hylocereus undatus</li>
<li>9 Pereskiopsis spathulata</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Seeds</u>:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Mega mix (the huge bag of seeds on the upper left)</li>
<li>Carnegiea gigantea (Saguaro)</li>
<li>Turbinicarpus panarottoi</li>
<li>Turbinicarpus klinkerianus</li>
<li>Kedrostis africana</li>

<li>Gymnocalycium occultum</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Yeah, that's a lot on top of what I was already planning to sow, but I'm not complaining. I'm actually quite curious about how this all will turn out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have a nice day and till next post!</div>

Yesterday I've placed my one and only order at Succulenta, the Dutch-Belgian Society of Cactus- and Succulent Amateurs which I'm a member since January <span style="background-color: white;">this year. They have an impressive list with a lot of interesting species.</span><br />
<br />
I've ordered the following:<br />

<li><strong><a href="https://www.google.nl/search?q=%22Mammillaria+plumosa%22&num=20&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBlLOpmf_JAhUFhA8KHQV-DiEQ_AUIBygB&biw=1600&bih=775" target="_blank">Mammillaria plumosa</a></strong>, a white and hairy Mammillaria.

I have no idea what it does and how to cultivate it. I've ordered this one because of its interesting and extraordinary look.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.google.nl/search?biw=1600&bih=880&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=%22Lithops%22&oq=%22Lithops%22&gs_l=img.3..0l3j0i30l7.151767.153902.0.154354.8.8.0.0.0.0.68.393.8.8.0....0...1c.1.64.img..1.7.340.oA0_iB6QNyY" target="_blank">Lithops</a></strong>, a family of little rock-like plants in many different colors and types. I've ordered 10 random species, so I have no idea of what to expect!</li>
</ul>
Then I'm also looking for some <strong><a href="https://www.google.nl/search?biw=1600&bih=880&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=%22Euphorbia+platyclada%22&oq=%22Euphorbia+platyclada%22&gs_l=img.3..0i30j0i24.67260.72014.0.72204.23.22.1.0.0.0.230.1322.21j0j1.22.0....0...1c.1.64.img..2.21.1217.RRIip8cF_J8" target="_blank">Euphorbia platyclada</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.google.nl/search?q=%22Brasiliopuntia+brasiliensis%22&num=20&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiA-sm-9f7JAhVE4w4KHSI5CvoQ_AUIBygB&biw=1600&bih=880" target="_blank">Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis</a></strong> cuttings. E. platyclada is a succulent plant that looks kind of zombified: you would expect it to be dead, but it's not. B. brasiliensis is (duh) an Opuntia species from Brazil. It's one of the highest cacti in the world (maybe it is the highest!) and grows a wooden trunk after a couple of years.<br />
<br />
That's all for right now folks! My next post will probably be about some new EDC gear that I've purchased or found underneath the x-mas tree during the last month and there might even be a small review on some Leatherman products.<br />
<br />
Right now it's time to pour me a nice dram and watch 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' together with my lovely wife. We always watch Harry potter during these festive days at the end of the year. Some people might find these movies/books childish, but I believe that they contain a certain amount of wisdom, and above all: fun!<br />
<br />
Now it's time to leave you alone with David Bowie and his weird song 'Blackstar'. Have a nice day and till next post!<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">In my previous blog post I've made a promise to show you more photos of my Rhipsalis-plants while they were flowering, but I decided not to, because when more flowers appeared, others disappeared.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">This week I was looking at the plants, this species in particular, and I saw a lot of ugly, damaged parts on them. So today I've decided to make some cuttings and plant them. This way I keep the existing plants pretty and meanwhile create some clones. I hope to see some new growth in the upcoming spring.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aren't they ugly?! They won't be that bad with some extra leafs/particles on them. I find this an easy-to-grow plant that flowers without much afford.</div>

And what will I do with all these extra plants that won't survive outside in my greenhouse? Exactly! I'll give them away! Some weeks ago, my sister told me that she has thrown her Selenicereus in the trashcan after being "attacked" by it... That hurts, RIGHT?! Well, here's a cactus that won't hurt you and also, like Selenicereus, will dominate your windowsill. Enough kidding: this is a really fine and pretty species that doesn't need much care and flowers easily.</div>

Hello and welcome back! This is just a short photo-post about my Rhipsalis elliptica, which is starting to flower. It has flowered before, but this year there are buds everywhere! Later this week or in the beginning of next week, I'll post more photos, because today only 3 buds opened up.<br />

Right! The Opuntia that you're probably missing (yeah, sure ;-) ) is replaced by a Cylindropuntia imbicrata, the Cholla. This is a very frost resisting species with large, annoying spines that reach up to two metre in height and forms a shrub when older.<br />

Hello, you! Today's the day that I've cleansed my karma, sort of. Maybe you don't remember, but maybe you do. Back 2011 I've "lent" a piece of a plant and today it's the day to give it back!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In another post (<b><a href="http://gypscoprotheres.blogspot.nl/2012/07/selenicereus-beautiful-plague.html" target="_blank">CHECK IT OUT</a></b>), somewhere in 2012, I've mentioned that I've taken a piece of cactus from a small cacti-garden located in a zoo. In this post, I've made a promise... Let me just tell you the story short: I went to the zoo, saw a cool, sprawling Selenicereus on the floor with one spare part ready to bring home. You should've seen the amount of plant laying there! Anyway, in 2012 I've promised in this post that I would bring a cutting of this plant back to the zoo and drop it on the same spot where I took the other part.</div>

If she'll flower again this year, I'll take some photos and write another post. The smaller Rhipsalis also came in as a cutting and is growing really well, but hasn't flower yet...</div>

Ahoy! It has been three months since my last post and I can't say nothing blogworthy has happened.

Echinopsis subdenudata</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't seen any flowers yet, but check out these buds on two of my Echinopsis subdenudata:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've bought this E. subdenudata back in 2009 on the flower market in Amsterdam. Since 2011, it's flowering each year. Mostly it has one or two buds on it, but this year I count five!</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This tiny E. subdenudata was a gift from someone of the Cactiguide.com forum and was sown in September 2010. Normally, this species has huge flowers, so I'm wondering what will become of this little fellow!</div>

The small Orchid in the back was a gift from a dear friend in Brazil. It was flowering the day I've received it and then didn't flower for over two years. Very soon these buds will turn into beautiful, little yellow flowers.</div>

I've sown this T. terscheckii back in 2011 and although it doesn't look that big in this photo, it's kind of huge comparing to the other seedlings that I've sown back in that year. I've given away a couple of them, but if I compare those to this monster... It is supposed to grow a lot quicker than a Saguaro, but the first few years feel like ages.</div>

This is the biggest bastard of my collection! I'm not talking about the size of the plant. It's the razor-sharp spines which makes this guy a real son-of-a-bitch. They'll pierce right through your fingernail if you don take caution. This Argentinian mountain cactus is actually outside on my balcony for a couple of years now. It seems to survive pretty well. Even a wet and cold winter couldn't kill this plant and It has been covered in snow too a couple of times.</div>

I immediately hear you thinking: "What the @#$% do you need a mini pry bar for?!". Well, it's to save all the other stuff that you're using to pry with. Think about a knife-tip, key, bankcard, fingernail or whatever you would use to open, loosen, detach, reach, etc. This thing is so small that I don't even notice it in my pocket, but it's there when I need it and... It has a bottle opener on it! (it also has a hex bit holder, box opening notch, flat screwdriver and an oxygen tank wrench on it).</div>

The famous Opinel knife. I've seen this knife everywhere they sell knives and always thought it couldn't be that great, because of the low price. I also thought that this knife wouldn't lock. Well, I was wrong. It does lock and it's an amazing knife for the price you're paying! This French product came on the market in 1890 and has never left since. It was originally designed for farmers, so that they could have a decent knife for a decent price. The locking-ring (Opinel Virobloc) was invented in the 50s and although it's not as strong as the back-lock on my Buck, it provides all the safety an experienced knife owner needs. The blade on this No. 10 (10 also stands for 10 cm blade length) is made out of high carbon XC90 steel. It will rust, but if you take good care, it will show a nice, black patina over the years. Another nice thing about carbon steel is that it's easy to sharpen. For me this is the ideal knife to carry around in my EDC pouch. I won't use it daily, but it comes in handy while working with my plants, smoking a rope-tobacco or outside in the woods on a camping trip. I'm só positive about this blade that I've bought the smaller No. 8 (which is actually Opinel's most famous model) for my dad. He likes it a lot too and carries it around in his pocket.</div>

The End</h2>

That's it for today. I hope to give you an update on my plants soon with some nice shots of flowering species.<br />

What else can I write? My family and me went on a trip to Austria and it was amazing there! We went to a historical place called Bad Ischl, a quiet little place in the mountains. I won't bother you with a full travel journal, but I can tell you this: nothing beats traveling around with your wife and kid! Some people swear that your life ends the moment you start a family, but I strongly disagree. Everything I do and witness is one million times more intense. The smile on my son's face when he's happy is something I can't describe with words. Life's great!<br />
<br />
Some short notes about Bad Ischl: fresh and blue water, beautiful mountains, Jägertee, nice and polite people, lots of hunting trophies, WWI was signed there and on the highest mountain in the neighborhood I've ate the best Goulash of my entire life! Auf Wiedersehen!</div>
