The return of the Dodo

About 420 years after the last Dutch left the island of Mauritius and about 450 years after the last Dutch did NOT eat the last dodo (http://beagle.vpro.nl/#/blog/item/3424/ - yes it's in Dutch, go learn, please?) these two Dutchies gave a warm welcome to a very exotic German offshoot of this species. In other words, Dorothee arrived in Buenos Aires!

As for ourselves, we arrived in our massive hostel (Florida Suites) safe and sound, be it minus one mochila and nearly minus one bank card. (Note to self, do not allow yourself to get distracted while taking out cash - even if it is by your own travel companion).

With the mochila back and Dodo in the house our 'fellowship of the wannabe-panflute lovers and like-minded' is complete. Let the journey begin!

6 a.m. at Schiphol airport


And for those of you who are not ready to go dodo, here's a little night cap:

  4. I don't buy this revisionist clap-trap! I bet as you were typing this you were comfortably sitting on your dodo down-filled pillows, sipping a cool glass of dodo tears. The first step you Dutch bird haters can take towards national healing is admitting to the dodo genocide.

    Keep up the blog and have a great time!
