I can fly, Aviodrome, 4D movie
Yesterday I was in the
Aviodrome (
Lelystad) where I had a party with all my colleagues in midst all the aircraft. The aviodrome is
the aviation museum in The Netherlands.
Having been there
before, I knew the museum and wanted to see their newest attraction: The 4D movie "I can fly". Now, I have seen bad movies... and I have even worse movies... but this is really another catagory!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the museum. Heck, I even think it is one of the finest of The Netherlands, but that this museum dares to expose its public to a movie like this... The movie is called 4D because you get a pair of 3D glasses (from the nice personnel that works there) and when you are in the movie, some systems spray mist over you, there is smoke emerging from the front of the theater and some wind is blown in your face. What they have forgotten is that the public mainly goes to a theater to see a good movie. And this, as I have said before, cannot be catagorised as a good movie:
Isn't there a good thing about the movie then? Well, ok... I can come up with two. (1) The girl in the movie is in 3D (
) and (2) the physical effects like the smoke etc was an unexpected surprise.
But who am I? I saw the movie for free. Maybe it is better to see it when you pay for it :-)
The rest of the museum is very good!!! And I really like the logo!

eelco, live by the moment, Bakker, work
Wow, just had a great day at work.
Everything went so smooth today... Panic managing with an EASA emergency AD, setting up a meeting for my VIP project with several parties, arranging not to have a mandating action on a SB, managing some tests overseas and setting up a validation action!!
But then I come home... and yeah... what to do there? Made some calls, explaining how I feel. Thinking about the situation again. I don't know... do I want to think about it? Nah, just live by the moment.
Maybe very soon I will just go somewhere. I have been thinking about just booking a flight to a European city, stay there for 24 hours and then fly back again. No hotel, no bagpack... just go. Would be great!! I have the freedom to do it :-)
Yeah!! :-0

hobby, retreat
Normally I would call to the other end of the world every night after work. Now that I am relieved from that task now, the big question is... How will I occupy myself?
Yesterday I found myself listening to Underworld, lying on my couch... with a nice whiskey in my hand. Overthinking the whole situation. The feeling of the absence of love made place for a little bit of anger about how I have been treated in this relation. I absolutely gave everything, but the return was far less. Now, that can be ok for some while and maybe I did not see all the ways and manners she gave herself to me... but more and more there came an imbalance.
Although I will miss her, I made the best decision I could possibly make; Sometimes the best battles are won just by retreating when you know that the way it's going is only going to make you weaker.
But I still have to find an answer... what hobby will I do now?

chao, gracias
No mas
Me siento raro
Despues 5 anos y medio
No estamos
Despues todo que yo he sentido
por ella
Despues todas mis aventuras
con ella
Despues todo que yo he apprendido
de ella
Despues todo que yo he hecho
para ella
No mas.
Ahorita comienzo otra vez una otra vida
Ahorita tengo que cambiar muchas cosas
Ahorita...
No me gusta la palabra ahorita
Ahorita significa que hay un futuro tambien
Pero esto no hay
No mas.
Estoy feliz por la vida
Estoy feliz por su vida
Estoy feliz que teniamos una vida
Nadie puede reemplazar a ella
Y ella siempre va a estar en mi cabeza
Nunca puedo olvidar de ella
NUNCA MAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

4x4, Kempff, Mercado, Noel
...
... After a bustrip of 8 hours (and a sparetyre) we arrived in San Ignacio. San Ignacio is the biggest jesuit village of a cluster of 148 villages. It was 5 o´clock in the morning... no one on the streets...
We were informed that the mother of El Eduardo (the guy with the lend 4x4) has a hostel, so we called her to get the directions to that hostal. Luckily it was no long walk and we could get some proper rest immediately (the previous 2 nights were in bus).
Later that afternoon we had some time to enter the village. San Ignacio has a peculiar church, mainly made from wood. In the direct vicinity of San Ignacio, the main business is harvesting big trees, so they had some left to built a church :-)
Soon we met with El Eduardo and talked about the trip. Also we showed him what we brought from Santa Cruz to survive for a couple of days. Ofcourse this seemed to be not sufficient and we went with Eduardo to the local market to buy the necessary stuff. On top of that we bought a good wine.
That night we went early to bed, because the next morning at 5 o´clock our adventure would start to Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado...

Santa Cruz, 4x4, Day 1, Bolivia
...
You have to have some persistence to get to the Bolivian National Park ¨Noel Kempff¨. We thought it would be easy to arrange once in Santa Cruz, but it was not...
After a bustrip of 9 hours from Cochabamba to Santa Cruz, we dropped our bagpacks at the busstation because we knew we would return there. So we went in the city to find some agency to help us with planning the trip. At the agency it was not possible any more to go to the parque, because a group of 4 just left by airplane and would stay there. Besides that, going by aircraft (small, 2 1/2 hours) was beyond my budget (I also pay for Susana). So the travel agency advised us to rent a 4x4, get 2 spare tyres, get enough food for 10 days (and water) and to go to a little village called Florida. From there we could enter the park.
Thanking the dutch guy (with bolivian girlfriend... hmmm, sounds familiar), we started our hunt for a 4x4. After some phonecalls and some more phonecalls, we almost gave up. Ok, we try the last number... The guy had a 4x4 but just went into maintenance. Then he suddenly suggested to lend a 4x4 from a friend. When we had the price, we said, ok!
Being happy that after 3 hours of calling and thinking how to dot it, we finally found something. We quickly went to a local supermercado and there we bought some of the necessary stuff to survive for 10 days. The rest we could buy in the last village.
With the groceries we went again to the busstation to get on the bus to San Ignacio. The 4x4 we had arranged, we arranged in San Ignacio, so that was another bustrip of 6 hours. And San Ignacio was not even near the entrance of the National Parque Noel Kempff...
