Text of the page (random words):
ordinary things strange stuff ordinary things strange stuff home about 100 and out january 23 2010 edit this is what my last post at blogger looked like folks this is my 100th post here and that is as good a time as any to make it the very last one ok i am not saying goodbye to blogging but i am saying goodbye to blogger this blog ends here and now and moves to it s new home at oceankid wordpress com freefoto com this blog started as a travel blog when i traveled to the remotest parts of the sahara to view a spectacular solar eclipse i am still quite fond of those early posts those days in the desert left some unforgettable memories and led to several subsequent posts related to africa total eclipse at waw an namus march 29 2006 another memorable moment of this blog was the tandem story experiment which resulted in two rather morbid stories speaking of stories another favourite post was when i was had to set the record straight after a long absence from blogging and for some strange reason this little tag from soraya reamains vivid in my mind if you wonder why i am moving from blogger to wordpress i must say that in comparison wordpress is sooo much nicer to use i will be happy to elaborate if anybody asks me at my new blog and that s it adieu blogger 2 comments goodbye blogger internet permalink posted by oceankid 99 january 23 2010 really close now leave a comment uncategorized permalink posted by oceankid 98 january 23 2010 warmer leave a comment uncategorized permalink posted by oceankid 97 january 23 2010 getting warm leave a comment uncategorized permalink posted by oceankid a full circle january 16 2010 all good things must come to an end and that i am afraid applies to my little trip too my last three days on tenerife were great but blogging well i just did not find the time and energy now it feels a bit strange to write this closing post from home anyway the island of tenerife has slightly less than one million inhabitants you can drive a full circle around the island in less than four hours yet as i see it this little island contains two entirely different planets the south has places like las americas and los gigantes which i blogged about recently it is quite warm and the beaches are fantastic it is dominated by mass tourism and a lot of people really like it but the first time i crossed the mountains to the north was true joy the north is considerably cooler the beaches are less spectacular of course there are loads of tourists but the vulgarity of mass tourism does not exist here the coastal landscape is also imho a lot more interesting and there is not a house on every coastal square metre the main town of puerto de la cruz is quite pleasant for walking driving in it is quite a b tch but worth the effort it is a nice day to spend a lazy day puerto de la cruz through the eyes of palestrina55 creative commons license and the small village of taganaga in the remote north east is really pretty and the drive to it takes you through rain forests as well as fantastic serpentine roads if i ever return to tenerife taganaga will definitely be a must see again taganaga as seen by meteomara creative commons license and that s all folks the time has come to close my last chapter on tenerife my next post is due soon it will contain another major closing looney tunes warner brothers leave a comment the good stuff travel permalink posted by oceankid photo time january 12 2010 there is so much stuff i haven t mentioned at all and just to mention a few my grand day out when i drove around the island in order to mount the peak of teide the famous volcano rising some 3718 metres above sea level teide from below but unfortunately the teleferico skytrain was closed that day due to strong winds so this is as far as i got the end of the line but that was not so bad as my road trip gave me some fantastic views of tenerife s volcanic landscapes the long way home la orotava is a nice little town on the north coast with pretty houses and a meticulously kept garden with exotic flowers or is it yet another proof of alien life forms and in the charming mountain village of masca i bought some fresh oranges from this farmer the major town of la laguna offered many nice walks the old town of la laguna but i would like to finish of with a few pictures of garachico i arrived here some 9 days ago and the place was so pleasant and relaxing that all my half plans to keep island hopping simply evaporated arriving into town along the coast small town life church bells marking every half hour surprisingly nice and the shady town square peaceful without being dull and maybe just maybe if you turn that last photo upside down you will see where i shot that space ship a few days ago leave a comment the good stuff travel permalink posted by oceankid another trip another time january 11 2010 still in tenerife for a few more days but i needed a little break from my holiday great feeling by the way and tom q is a great photographer and lost and found fellow blogger in more than one way some time ago he proposed this flickr meme it works like this if you use flickr go to the sixth page of your photostream and pick the sixth picture there then post it to your blog olive oil candied peanuts and a dustpan what else can you need on the road in the sahara i took this photo at a market during my trip to libya in march april 2006 not sure exactly where but i think somewhere on the road east of ubari garagara or maybe murzuq is my best guess view larger map my flickr posting is not nearly as prolific as tom s but i do have loads of pictures tucked away on old hard disks half forgottern cf cards and who knows where else perhaps i should pull myself together and post my best photos to flickr leave a comment coincidence fun the good stuff travel permalink posted by oceankid strange fellows january 8 2010 i haven t told you about my fellow passengers have i most of you are familiar with the first one i had him neatly chopped in 12 slices and shrink wrapped into 4 dvds dexter is imho the best tv series ever made at least the only one which has maintained superb screen writing great characters clever dialogue and and nail biting plot lines for four consecutive seasons i thought i might need some distraction on slow days so i decided to bring season 1 with me now if you have missed out completely dexter is a forensics expert with the miami police department his professional specialty is blood his main hobby is killing people he is mass murderer with a twist he only kills really bad guys who have managed to escape justice he is clearly a deeply disturbed person due to a childhood trauma but he follows a very strict morale or code as he calls it himself so if you haven t yet i warmly recommend you to check dexter out buy it borrow it download it steal it whatever and then the other guy in my bags is böddi now who the hell is böddi you might ask well i had him evenly spread out over 427 hilarious pages stormland swedish details and an english translation of another novel is a highly entertaining book by hallgrímur helgason just like dexter böddi has failed or refused to adapt to the norms of society he lives in a tiny town in the outbacks of northern iceland and i can tell you he is one angry dude he does things his own way and loses every job he gets on his blog he spews his sarcasms over everything he detests about iceland and the people in his hometown he then experiences an unbelievable string of unfortunate events and slowly he starts to lose his grip on reality but his anger remains unbroken it then escalates to a gargantuan confrontation with society he decides to take them all on single handedly from a horse back epic stuff the book was written in 2005 well before the global economic crisis and the total collapse of iceland s financial system so it can be seen as a quite strong and prophetic story on the dark side of the heedless greed that was prevailing in iceland actually not only iceland and actually not only was before the crash if you have a soft spot for dark humour i recommend it warmly it has struck me that we have a few things in common dexter böddi and me dexter loves the atlantic ocean and often goes out to sea böddi often stares at the ocean and contemplates and the atlantic is just what made me come here even though i do not particularly mind traveling on my own here i am constantly surrounded by happy couples which reminds me of my status and makes me feel a tiny bit like dex or böddi and then all three of us are travelers of different kinds dexter along with what he calls his dark passenger böddi with his horse and me with my little rented fiat punto 3 comments coincidence death film literature the bizzare stuff the good stuff travel permalink posted by oceankid close encounters of the weird kind january 7 2010 at least a few true movie buffs will understand that title in any case i can tell you the aliens are here not my photo but note the size of the earthlings at the stern this spaceship like sea vessel is owned by the russian oligarch andrey melnichenko gossip here i had to fix some paperwork and go to santa cruz capital of tenerife this mega yacht was anchored there if you have 200 million sterling to spare you can have one of your own but that is not all i have further proof that the aliens are here here is what i saw next to my hotel the other night alien life forms arriving in garachico tenerife january 2010 1 comment the strange stuff permalink posted by oceankid el bonbon january 6 2010 my favourite drink here well one of them is bonbon el bonbon bonbon is an espresso with condensed milk if you have discovered the joys of vietnamese coffee then you are familiar with condensed milk here you see the milk at the bottom of the cup as you see it is extremely thick it does not mix at all until you start using the spoon also it is very sweet so there is absolutely no reason to add any sugar maybe not your cup of tea but i warmly recommend you to give it a try when you get a chance 1 comment the good stuff travel permalink posted by oceankid previous entries
