The Andes Trail 2010 begins !!
Finally ....
Today, actually tonight I will goto Schiphol Airport to fly to Quitto where the start is in a couple of days of the Andes Trail 2010.
The last couple of days I´ve spend many hours in checking checking and again checking I have all the things that I need for this trip. I still had to buy stuff, but in general I think I was and still am pretty prepared... only this blog, where I will keep you guys updated with stories and pictues about this trip was still not online...
I have tried the blogger site, but if you want to react on a story or a picture, you must have a Gmail account otherwise you are not able to write a comment .... not nice, so I have checked many ´blog´sites, and one was not clear enough, the other wasn´t free, another one was packed with commercials, so finally I ended up with this site ... I hope it is clear, and you can comment on the stories and pictures ...
So ... my father drove me to Schiphol Airport, where I took the KL753 flight to Quito. Checking in was no problem, the bike wasn´t a problem at all, only it was a bit heavy, just about 28 kilos. The lady at the counter didn´t have any problem with that, only the old woman next to her started to complain about these 5 kilos to much ... Grrrr, I didn´t want to open the box again and remove 5 kilos, and put it in the other bag that was only 19 kilos. Finally she didn´t made a big deal of it and I got my boarding pass and I was on my way to the gate F3 !!
After a short drink with my Father, and spilling orange juice all of the floor and the table in the juice-bar during a toast on the trip, he also went back home.
I was on my way to Quito ... long flight ahead, but I was pretty tired, so sleeping should not be a big problem !!

So far so good, Michiel.
Aan de temperatuur te zien hoef je geen zonnebrandcreme te gebruiken.
Zet 'm op!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
leuk dat je al wat mensen ontmoet hebt. Ben benieuwd naar de rest.
Heel veel plezier en veel foto's maken he??
een goede en voorspoedige start, toegewenst uit LZ. ik/wij hopen dat je veel internet cafés tegen komt zodat we letterlijk met je mee kunnen leven. Succes op hoogte.
Geef 'm van katoen Michiel. We lezen met veel plezier je verslagen en de foto's geven ons het idee dat we bij je achterop meerijden. Ik krijg er zelf weer de fiets kriebels van. Hou het stuur recht en geniet met volle teugen.
