Okay, here's the final one.
I suffered from a severe writersblock. I was more than happy that Henk de Ridder came up with the script of this story.
The writersblock never healed, so I decided to quit writing.
By the way, it's Jan Schets on this picture.

There were two more pictures in the book. Due to my writersblock I didn't write a story for these. But to be complete I will post the picture nevertheless.

This is "Spakenburger" or "Spakie" for friends. The only thing I know is that he came from.....guess where.....

This guy turned out to be a very succesfull writer.

On the USS Saipan, 1986, which was harboured in Rotterdam. Dimitri and myself.

Somewhere in Belarus, 1995, Dimitri and myself with the Opel Record which was specifically bought for this trip. Always good those hammers and sickles :-)

Same trip in Belarus, Dimitri with some WW2-monument.

hoi Gerard,

Als jij het was geweest had ik het wel geweten, het was een andere Gerard ergens uit zuid holland. Zal het eens aan Chris vragen.

Groet uit 3818 ( werk ;-))

Think this Gerard indeed was from Zoetermeer, can't remember his last name though.

@ Hans vdV
This is the only one I could find about the ''talking'' sea urchins at Frejus. I must have one slide with the complete word but can not find it. Can't imagine I did some self cencoring..

It took some time to form the word, because the sea urchins were contantly ''walking'' back to sea.
