Yes! Starting today we’ll be riding our motorcycles officially Obviously I already drove some short trials in the neighborhood and to work, but enjoying riding started today. The MCN started her season and everyone was welcome to drive along. I liked having a former co-worker join in on his silver Strom!

Finally! Today the start of the season tour took place. The MotorClubNieuwegein into full swing again. A friend joined in from The Hague to drive along and we had a wonderful day. As pictures say more than words, just look at the movie

The last one of this series of  assignment-photography of this location a picture that I also shared with the photographer behind ‘IkHouVanDenBosch‘, skippers sailing reverse through the channel! 

Today finally time for the 10-wheeler … 2×5 obviously. Next to the regular 4-wheeler and various 2-wheelers in the barn this was a delightful change of wheels. A bit heavy to get going again, but not overdoing it in any way, let’s repeat this!

Finally … time to get into the snow and ice This time in our ‘home base’ again, being Altenmarkt. We even went rodeling twice this time (with all participants)! (Picture shows me with cam for the movie )

We were invited by a friend for a new restaurant in Utrecht, not too far from her place (as in, just tumble once) and were amazed every step of the way, it was perfect! If you are in Utrecht (near the Rembrandt) or in Rotterdam!

From co-workers I already heard about this ‘all-you-can-eat’ concept, but it has a Japanese twist to it. As common with these kind of restaurants you’ll get 2 hours to harvest but they improved on it. When you go to a ‘Wok’ you’ll most likely never see your table-mates (as one has to go and get the food and wait for the preparation of it), at Sushi Cube you can just remain at your table. They are also located in Rotterdam (or also in Utrecht if you look at their site).

The stories on review sites is definitely not ours, the food is really good indeed but the service isn’t pushing customers at all.

Back to the important part, the food … it is very good and tasty! Not compared to all-you-can-eat concept/standards but just good and rest food, nothing you would expect otherwise from Japanese cooks. Compared to eating at a teppan of a ‘regular’ Japanese restaurant it was different but that mostly comes down to the way the food is presented. Eating at the teppan is an experience in itself, here you can just enjoy the food and every single person can have his own taste delivered to the table.

Nice touch of the Japanese way of ‘scooping/overasking to much’ is that you’ll pay a ‘penalty’ when you don’t clean out your plate Very nice approach to prevent food from being thrown away!
