Sri Lanka II


A journey in train

Pretty packed on the platforms


 



inside the train it's not allowed to smork wahatever that means




sitting in the doors doesn't seem to be it because that's very common




Therfore I did it aswell so the remaining lice will be blown from my head. Had to squint my eyes for the head wind pretty heavily





How to... get rid of lice

Was visiting the girls in the children's home and as a welcome gift they handed me some lice. Fortunately durnig my work in conservation I learned how to give a hard time to an animal species: destroy their habitat and catch and kill the remaining persistant individuals. Therfore I now got a new, a bit more radical haircut...

Hehehe


Galle

After one week of waves it went flat so I had time for city-sightseeing. Apart from the fact that thousands of other tourists seemed to have had the same idea, Galle is a beautiful little city
















Those ones are seen frequently here. Would be a nice souvenir aswell




For sunset I went to the wall of the fort...



...in exchange I was nearly on my own over there.

Big Update II

Fter Zarautz I was craving for a more agressive board. Therfore the enhanced version of Totti's Turtle with a different sea creature on it was created. Here after the newest glazing experiment:



and the final result (pics: Flo):



























that thing had to be tested for sure. So off we went to Vendee (pics: yellowfoot)




 There is also the possibility to make scenic pictures in front of old french houses










Big Update

Longtime it's been. And everybody's asking himself: What was the guy up to the whole time? Therfore the resume of the supersummer and summerwinter when I didn't have time left for the blog. Was working now and then aswell.
It all started with the Schnapsidee (german for an idea of a drunkard filled with Schnaps) to drive a motorcycle to Sri Lanka (which by now would be even more of a Schnapsidee). Therefore I bought the legendary XT600 Ténéré from 1983 with its humongous tank. To check it I took it all apart:


I removed the ugly 80ies plasticstuff, sold it and put stuff that pleased my eyes better. While checking the engine I had to realise it's complete crap so I put a 'new' one. Here's when I was trying to sort the wiring:


After a long forward and backward it's close to being rideable now but not tested yet. But the route to Sri Lanka by now is impossible.
Here some pics from the close-to-final-state:



Hidden object

As no one found out by themselves. How many mammals are in the picture?
