Boxing in Chennai – Tamil Nadu Boxing

28 januari, 2024

So today was a funny day. I always end up in strange situations. I will come to the one today.

This morning I went on a long walk and tried to photograph, do some street.

When it got too hot I was going towards the hotel, but popped in to a sandwich place and met a couple of nice photographers from Chennai. So we talked for a long time… but eventually I went back to my hotel and had a nap.

Later I went out for a walk again and ended up at a boxing tournament for boys up to 18. When I was about to leave the manager of the whole thing dragged me in and had me officiate one bout and then have a seat at the officials table to hand out the prices.

Hahaha. –

Well I will see you out there.

Arrived to Chennai

28 januari, 2024

Morning everyone. I have arrived at my final destination, checked in, had a shower and now I’m downstairs for some hot water(for my coffee)

The night I actually spent at a really strange and shitty hotel, to put it mildly. The entrance was a garage … you get the drift. I just slept my 6 hours and got here.

So, let’s see what the day will bring.

Did I really have a cat with me???

Coconut after bike ride

24 januari, 2024

Having a coconut after a bike ride (bicycle) to the stone chariot of Hampi.

Damn these mosquiutos

22 januari, 2024

Good morning or good night – it’s in the middle of the night here, and I just realized that I have made a big mistake.

– I didn’t bring any mosquito repellent nor did I bring any after bite.

I woke up to me rubbing my feet and legs together as if I wanted to make fire.

The first thing in the morning is to find some remedy to this.

For f?%#s sake I can’t be standing in a bucket of water all night, even if it helps.

Arriving to Hampi

21 januari, 2024

A crazy day so far and it’s only 9am.

I started my journey last night in Goa and came with a sleeper bus to Hampi, well nearest city to Hampi, is Hospet.

So I took a rikcha together with an Israeli guy, he hadn’t booked anything so he said: I’ll come with you.

The driver said he knows a place where Israelis go, “there’s many”.

45 minutes later we arrived to small restaurant with 10-15 tents surrounding the place. NO tourists, I got a bit mad and He, the Israeli guy, felt completely fooled. F$#^k

So we had to go back to Hampi, another 30-35 minutes or so in the opposite direction.

Got here. I payed for the fair and found a room. He was pissed so continued his journey finding his countrymen. Really nice guy so I hope he will find them.

See you out there … more to come

Update from Goa

20 januari, 2024

For those of you wondering what’s going on. Not much is the short answer. Got a ac cold on my hands and been resting today. Runny nose is embarrassing. Everybody is looking.

Well. It’s onwords and towards new possibilities, this too will pass.

This morning I had porridge for those of wondering. And omelette, pancakes and tea mind you.

See you out there…

Good Morning from Goa

19 januari, 2024

Good morning from Goa.

It’s been a long night, with dogs barking every 5 minutes and howling continuously.

Woke up at 4. Waited for the light and worked out on the porch, and got really surprised when someone licked my face in the middle of my push-ups. That was my little friend the puppy. I had my earbuds in so it really startled me.

After that I went for a walk on the beach.

Now breakfast.

It’s so quit here. I’m the only tourist in this restaurant.

One more night here and then I’m off to Hampi.

The quest for tomorrow… find a restaurant that opens before 8am. Need my coffee after my workout

See you all out there.
