Madeira

Okay, a long long long long long tima ago (about a month or two) two friends and me took a plane to a Portugese island Madeira (wood in portugese). This is a small report of it :).


The wing of our Awesome airplane!

But Oh No!!!! The wheater above Madeira is to bad, so we need to fly back to Lisboa! Oh no!!!! our vacation is ruined!!

(Rabi, Aleksander, Frank)
But luckily for us Easyjet decided to give a four star (!!!!) hotel with complementary lunch and diner! Awesome ! :)

Okay so the four star hotel was nice and all but we wanted to go to this beautifull island so we tried to go to Madeira the following day.

Aleks, me and Bob! (ps: Bob is the car :) )

The famous fruit market of Madeira, where you can eat bananas that taste like mango, mangos that taste like apple and oranges that taste anything you want! I felt like Harry Potter!

On our trip to the highest point of the Madeira we needed to try to drink at least some water of one of the waterfalls! With succes! :)

View on our way to the top!

On the desert side of the island we found some really big beautiful rocks. For scale: it's me there on the right!

A famous Lavada (water path) of Madeira was called the 25 Fontes (25 waterfalls) and this is the end, a really long waterfall surrounded by a lot of small ones... To difficult to put on camera :(.

Last sunset blocked by the clouds, still nice to see.

All a bit sad to leave.

Well that was our trip to Madeira!

Mokka Pot?

Hi there!

Long time no see! I still need to write about a lot! trip to madeira, trip to Geres, school, finished projects and so on, but because I'm still busy with my last project, and with some of my friends leaving I need to spend my time on that.

But just a little something in the middle:

Because my and Monk-EHs beloved Mokka pot has passed away!



I made coffee, but after a while I forgot! (didn't have my coffee yet :P) and after half an hour, the handle was in a puddle on the stofe burning away with black smoke. (Too bad I didn't have time to take a picture, it was magnificent!)



So we were both really sad.

Untill... One of my roommates pointed out that we still have another coffee maker! yeah! So now we are back and running again! (Although I need to figure out how not to put too much coffee in it, today I was really bouncing! (Which you can see a little in the photos :)))



Awesomeness!

Hi there!

Not much to say, I've been busy with project and the chair.
Here are some more pictures of working on the chair:

Here we are busy seperating the fiber from each other to get thinner layers of fiberglass.

Aplying the resin onto the chair with some fresh sheets of fiberglass.

A detail, trying to get the corners right. (a pain in the ass! :) )

Well, that was it! folks :). Have to get going again :)
bye now :)
Ciao!

Quicky

Okay, maybe I should just accept the fact that my average time to post is 2 weeks. Not a lot of things happend these two weeks (it rained, I got wet, I got to classes, the sun shone, I went to beach, I got burned). But there was a visit from my old home!

Bart!

I just started taking pictures when he went away, so that's way it looks like he always wore the same clothes :P.

Bart and the two yellow monsters!

The trip so far.

And Bart going again.

I have also been working on school! Yeah, I work... Earlier I said I was working with a group on a chair made of glassfiber. And now I actually have a picture! (I forgot to change the battery so that's why just 1 picture...)

The chair, the colours are from the siliconpaper which makes sure that the glassfiber lets loose, and Luis, one of the project group.

Also! I needed to make a blog for one of the drawing classes, to post a drawing every day! so that will be on:

Okay! that was it!
See you in a week or two :P!
Ciao!

Big Huge Post!

Almost 2 weeks since the last post! and what a two weeks :)

First of all, Aurora visited! And we went to Cabo da Roca! (The most western part of mainland Europe!)

Aurora and the firehouse of Cabo da Roca

Nice play of the sun and clouds!

When we climbed down we saw this awesome rock which made really cool sounds when waves came true it. BTW this thing is BIG! might not look so on this foto, but it is,.. trust me :).

Luckily Aurora also brought a camera so lots more photos!

Nice view from the Santa Justa Elevadore (?)!

Me with a blurred faculty!

Me trying to fly in front of Torre de Belem! I'm awesome :D.

Yeah!

:)

A week before Aurora came se send some pictures that I made with my Ensign box camera:

The Ensign Ful-Vue II (Picture taken by Ridzert Ingenegeren!).

The pictures taken with it!

So a week later I went to a place nearby Cabo the Roca, and took some photos, really nice place!!!

Praia Grande.

Some place between Praia Grande and Praia Adraga.

Praia Adraga, some huge waves! about 2 meters. okay not really huge, but this was just on a windless sunny day!

And also my parents and brother and sister came!!!
But because I forgot to charge the battery of my camera, I only have some uninteresting pictures of some stuff in Lisbon, but here are the ones I got:

Here They are!

The famous electrico 28 times two!

Actually a picture that doesn't make sence here, but a picture of Auroras most favorite three in Lisbon!

And now the pictures taken by them:

At the Miradouro near my room.

At Faira de Ladros

In Cascais.

The Fairytail like Palace da Pena.

The 'romantic' castel of the mores.

And the last shot, ahhh what cute :).

Akay, this was nice! But I have to go again! have fun! bye bye,
Ciao!

Oh my god! Who's that?

Beautiful sunset.

Beautiful girl.

Aaaaaah all the catching up!

Okay at first I thought I would have plenty of time to post on this blog, but Erasmus live, school, language course and a very nice visit of a girlfriend somehow always find a way to get in the way :).
So now I'll just post alot of pictures! yeah! :)

First of al a trip to Guincho! This was a trip by train to Cascais and then by bicycle (! yup they've got them here! for free!!! AAAAHHH!!!). Here are some pics :)

The trains to bring us to the nice beaches and Cascais!

Some quick self portrait (If you can call it like that :))

Really nice rocks :). We found them on the way to Guincho.

The Firetower that was hangin' with the cool rocks.

The place to be! Guincho! With alot of kites! Also in the background there is the mountain (I don't know how it is called) with some really big clouds coming over them.

Some weird bridge next to a little house on some rocks for no reason at all.

To proof that I don't always go to some beach or another here are some pictures of my faculty! Yar!

This is the 'balcony' to which all the rooms are connected to. Try to imagine the breaks :)

Faculdade De Arquitectura! my faculty!

From far!

Okay this was it for now! Expect more soon!
peace out bro's!
