Banff Film Festival
I wish I’d planned my trip better. I have to return home tomorrow and the majority of the films will be screened during the second part of the week. I’ll just have to catch it when it comes to Belgium
Banff National Park
Came up to the top of Sulphur Mountain to clear skies, loads of Asian tourists and beautiful views all around. Banff National Park is breathtakingly beautiful. I’m actually here to see the screening of Chris Eyre-Walker’s film ‘Dreamwalkers-The Faroes Project’ at the Banff Mountain Film Festival screening for the first time this evening. Really excited to see what the sold out, almost 1000 seat, cinema will bring as reaction.

The view from the Banff Centre. So chuffed to be here to see all these awesome films, just finding it difficult to adjust to the 7 hours time difference
A bit of bird watching
This weekend we are up in Antwerp to visit Ria’s father and friends. What better reason to spend the night at Biesbosch Nature Reserve and see some of the migratory birds on their way to better weather for the winter

Another test
Wow just keep trying
Hiking weekend
We had the entire group from Ria‘s Peru trip come over to East Belgium for some hiking this weekend.
Yesterday they went into Germany around Bleialf, today we went into the Fenn. It snowed all day but the nature was still so beautiful and where we hiked was virgin snow. Fantastic to break through fresh snow that sometimes comes up to your knees,but pretty hard work especially as the ground underneath was nor frozen but boggy. Still it was a great weekend and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
New hobby
Having damaged my Achilles heel running for a plane I didn’t catch, thanks to AA [no, neither Alcoholics Anonymous nor the Automobile Association but American Airlines] I was looking for another sport to replace cycling and hiking while my heel mends. Cut a long story short: skateboarding!
And here it is: my ‘born again’ sports machine all the way from Hawaii. Superbly crafted and ready to take on the not so smooth Belgian tarmac. I already feel 10 years younger
Night lights
We had a beautiful night sky tonight, nearly full moon and thin scattered clouds turned the sky into something out of a sci-fi movie.
