Return of the iKriz Gallery

Yes its back, after a long time of sitting far far away in a backup on a distant harddrive it has returned. Now even better and with alot more impact when viewing the images, this is mainly because the images are so old and remind us(mainly me) of embarrassing moments

Well I hope you enjoy the images, I hope it doesn’t get too big so I dont have to remove it again otherwise it may be handy to move it somewhere else in the future but I’ll do that when I get there.. for now its staying put. Checkout the photos from our world trip. If there are any requests or comments feel free have fun !

Ascending on Ascension day

As you may very well be able to see I’m hanging from a rope up in the left top corner, the guy below on the ground is my brother making sure I dont go splat… Today on ascension day we had the day off and decided to go ascending (a.k.a. Climbing), lucky for me I have tomorrow off as well to recover from the muscle aches…

We took the car into The Hague to go to the Uithof. It’s basically a big recreation center where you can go ice skating, go karting, snowboarding and climbing. We got there and had to wait a little for the first time introduction course which was a simple introduction as to how to secure the climber and such. The material was a little different to that in Australia but all in all it was good fun. We both climbed to the top a few times, while my sister did the photography. Around dinner time we headed back home to have dinner of course (duh), so with our worn muscles I drove us back home and now we wait for tomorrow to see if any pain strikes…
Ascending on ascension day resulted in us getting to the top and just going back down again, I guess the rule what goes up must come down still applies here

Sunny Australia, really?

We have now been in australia for a couple of weeks and have travelled from Brisbane to Sydney, and will soon be travelling to Melbourne. Brisbane was rather wet and rainy we we’re going to go to Fraser Island but because of all the bad weather, even Surfers Paradise was stormy, we decided to head down to sydney where it is sunny.  We have been all over sydney already seeing places like Bondi Beach, The Opera House and the Power House Museum. In The Powerhouse Museum we saw a Star Wars Exhibition which was interesting. We had one fine day in Surfers Paradise so we walked along the beach and went into the center of town, I went up the Q1 building to the 77th floor within 40 seconds which is certainly a difference in pressure. Got alot of photos of a very nice view. Now currently in Sydney we are having a good time seeing the place and on wednsday we will be going to Melbourne. in another 10 days we will be back in holland… thats strange to say but its good to know its getting sunny at home
