I’m back from a week of business travel to Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. I think the Sydney Opera House is one of the most magnificent buildings I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stop looking at it; it’s so beautiful and well-designed architecturally.

Running for charity

Hi everyone, don’t feel obligated to do anything, but every little bit helps.
On September 20th, I’ll be running the Dam tot Dam run with 15 colleagues to help children growing up in insecurity and uncertainty. As a team, we’re trying to raise at least €4,000. With this money, the Forgotten Child Foundation will give these children hope, peace, and a chance to just be children.
Every little bit helps, so will you join us and support me?
Berlin – Day 3
Yesterday was my final day in Berlin with my son, but as we were traveling back home yesterday evening, I didn’t have the time yet to upload some pictures of what we did yesterday.
On our last morning we strolled along the city again and we visited the huge and beautiful Berlin Dom. We walked up the Dom tower to see Berlin from above (again). This experience was much more worth it than the one from Sunday evening when we went up to the famous TV tower.
In the afternoon went to the Tiergarten park and had lunch at Café am Neuen See. I recommend this place if you happen to be visiting Berlin during good spring or summer weather. It’s a nice and quiet place in a vast and vibrant city.
Berlin – Day 2
Today was yet another fun day in Berlin. My son and I spent the morning shopping in the Charlottenburg area and the afternoon walking through different neighborhoods in the city, including:
- Checkpoint Charlie
- A burger and a beer at Burgemeister
- RAW Berlin
- Topographie des Terrors
Here are a few pictures from the RAW Berlin area.

Our first afternoon in Berlin started with a ‘Warm Welcome.’ Apparently, public transport works a little differently here than in the Netherlands. As we forgot to stamp our train tickets, my son and I were fined 60 euros each. There is no exemption; “Rules are rules,” they said.
Anyhow, we took our loss and moved on. We had a great first afternoon in the city; we visited some prominent landmarks and drank along the river.
