NEWEST PAGE: SEVILLE
It would please me if you would visit my TRAVELOGUES, made with the same care and love, pleasure and respect with which I made my first VT TRAVELOGUE, over 9 years ago.
The MIDDELBURG TRAVELOGUE is NEW....
PHOTOGRAPHY & WRITING (prose & poems) are my most favourite activities......
Thanks and enjoy, bes-elisabeth
"As Wolf walked along, an extraordinary happiness took possession of him. He seemed to derive satisfaction from the mere mechanical achievement of putting one foot in front of the other.....It seemed a DELICIOUS PRIVILEGE to him merely to feel his boots sinking into the mud - merely to feel the gusts of cold air blowing upon his face."
From: "Wolf Solent" - John Cowper Powys.
"A TRAVELLER has to approach the beauty and expressiveness of his destiny step by step, whatever the cost and only then he will see, understand, take in that destiny to the full: ONLY WHEN ONE WALKS, ONE IS REALLY TRAVELLING.....
Then go to my new PROVINCE OF ZEELAND PAGE
I cycled to town to take a photo-reportage of a special THURSDAY: a RINGRIJDEN DAY! ENJOY IT!
STRAIGHTAWAY TO AMSTERDAM CLICK!
EVERY FORTNIGHT A SPECIAL LINK CLICK and it will lead you through my personal maze of travels in a SURPRISING WAY...
I love this World, Mother Earth, her trees, flowers and plants, her wide variety of animals, her landscapes, skyscapes and seascapes, lakes and oceans, rivers and thundering or whispering waterfalls, waving green grass of yellow corn, deserts and dunes, canyons and vast rolling plains with their thousands of colours, mountains and sweet valleys.
Most of all I love wandering and roaming about while being silenced by alls these joyous, fabulous manifestations of nature under blue or white, grey or threateningly lead coloured skies.
Last but not least: isn't it most wonderful to meet soulmates, who like I myself, use all their senses not to miss anything of all these miraculous phenomena, who then become real FRIENDS !!
Let's feel lucky, privileged and contented to be here and let's SHARE this Earth and learn (by travelling e.g.) to TOLERATE, ACCEPT and RESPECT each other.
Together we are strong and must be able to find WISDOM somewhere, somehow, we MUST.
If you feel like it then, please, do browse through my many TRAVELOGUES, they are here for you to enjoy.
Searching my heart I am not sure if I would be able to write these words now.....wish I were....

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE EURO IS IN MY EUROPE PAGE
The RESULT is a WEALTH of TRAVEL PAGES so....may I INVITE you to explore my WORLD OF TRIPS & TRAVELS, JOURNEYS & OUTINGS, HIKES & EXPEDITIONS, TOURS & FLIGHTS....
becomes my tomorow's friend,
he who ever comes to visit,
FEEL WELCOME!
I don't know if I ever make it to your place.
But then I did not invite you to be returned the same gift from you.
Just promise me to remember what I did to you,
and if any other stranger comes across your path,
then do what I did and pass on the hospitality I showed to you.
Mayby then someday,
when I travel again
I will harvest the fruits
of what I once planted in your heart
and has been passed on
and some one will open his door for me.......someplace....sometime....
Thanks Dan!
BEING fond of words & being a wordsmith, I always used to say that MY PEN was my best friend, now I have to say MY COMPUTER is my best friend, friend and companion...night & day, in all seasons it makes writing so pleasant! I type & type and prose and poems appear.......
SAMUEL BUTLER once wrote:
.....HOLLAND
A land that rides at anchor
and is moored
in which they do not live, but go on board.
this poet lived from 1630 - 1680
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads onto way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the DIFFERENCE.
(Robert Frost 1874 - 1963)
This is my old schoolbus and is now my sweet little travelbus..........
Being a bad girl, believe me or not: it brings me EVERYWHERE I want to go.......ain't that GREAT ?
Travelling light is a real MUST and yet I need my bus because I am such a pack-rat, a little hoarder......
I could easily open a MUSEUM showing my COLLECTIONS of shells, pieces of rock, wonderful pebbles polished by endlessly rubbing elbows with its millions of companions in the surf on a beach somewhere, colourful feathers, pieces of wood, seed pods, brittle skeletons of little animals, dried flowers thin & transparant as a butterfly's wings, leatherware, little jars with sand in all kinds of colours.....music.....yes, yes, I do travel light!
After the murder of my beloved son we try to start going on with life :
SUMMER HOLIDAY : 3 weeks in the South of France
short trip in December, destination: not yet decided
We have 4 SEASONS and I LOVE them all!
PROMISING SPRING after a COLD, GREY WINTER with SUNNY DAYS FOR SKATING, BRIGHT summerlight, the SUN RIGHT ABOVE my head and atmospheric, enchanting, calming down AUTUMN....time for reflection, resting, enchantment, preparation time for WINTER FESTIVITIES......
I feel HAPPY here and PRIVILEGED to be born here in The Netherlands, in Europe, that safe, warm, rich cradle of our Western CIVILIZATION.
A great startingpoint to EXPLORE other countries and civilizations, each with their own richness of customs and habits, religions and cultures........and I started exploring, well-prepared and eager, curious and indefatigable and have never stopped: LIKE A MOUNTAIN STREAM I AM, AN INSATIABLE TRAVELLER.....
And there is still so much to visit, to learn about, people to meet......pages to make to share my experiences with you.....
WHY shouldn't you start exploring THE NETHERLANDS?
It is so very worthwhile!
Want to know more than is in my PAGES ? then email me: eden_teuling @VT
This is called: ORANJE BITTER.
A lovely drink......and we drink it when there is something special to be celebrated concerning our SWEET ROYALTY..... .
Their name is VAN ORANJE , therefore the orange coloured drink.
We drink to their HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING when there is a BIRTHDAY, the ANNOUNCEMENT of an ENGAGEMENT, a WEDDING, the BIRTH of a PRINCE or PRINCESS and..............yes princess MAXIMA & WILLEM-ALEXANDER (our crown-prince) have 3 little princessses, so............... again we shall propose a TOAST!!
We love our ROYAL FAMILY and they love us, we wouldn't like missing them......never ever.....

You raise travelogues to an art form my friend. They are detailed and elegant -- I hope to share a table with you sometime soon! Unfortunately the only way I can reward you in this system is by rating your tips - so I will :) [the kitty is adorable!]
