I just woke up on Sunday morning with pain in my back… unpleasant. It’s time we get rid of that mattress and get a decent bed, I say. We already went and had a look how much we have to invest into a new sleeping device and it seems that IKEA (as usual) has the best offers on latex-mattresses around.
One day our complete house will be furnished by IKEA.. waitaminute.. it already is :P

anyway. This night I dreamt a _lot_ , I mean, it was so much that I woke up from it.
First one was crazy, it featured me in the USA. Very strange. Some Hotel/Motel with a gas-station and a SUV were involved, completely not my style :) Somehow we always circulated around the lobby of that hotel, where scenes like in a soap-opera were coming and going and cheesy dialogues were taking place, then the same happened at the gas station, where the story went on.. I was in a suit. Driving one of these _huge_ SUVs and doing smalltalk with the other participants. Just the thought makes me smile. :)

If I think about it, it must be related to what I thought about last night.. a very old dream of mine, going around the globe once, clockwise. It started with a globe that I had in my room when I was young.
The trip will (I hope that much) take place in 5~10 years and go for 3-6 months, I’ll have to make a kind of a sabbatical from it, I think. Wanna join? Drop me a line and I sign you up :)

It should go somehow like that:
Berlin > St. Petersburg > Moscow (All with railway)
Moscow > Novosibirsk > Vladivostok (with the trans-siberian railway)
(Alternatively there is also the “Silk-Road” via Kazachstan to Beijing – but that’s plan B)
As we arrive at the Pacific, we have to decide, either on the ship immediately, crossing the pacific, towards California (with a small stop in Hawaii) before we reach San Francisco,
or we do the longer version, taking another train to the south, reaching Asia/China, passing Shanghai, HongKong, then towards the USA.
Both will miss Nepal/Tibet somehow but that will be another adventure. On the way is Japan, by the way, easily reachable by boat both from Beijing and Vladivostok.
Then, of course, the big tour-de-USA will start, ending in New York. From there, we can actually take an aircraft, taking us to Paris, where the trip will end.

I wonder how much we have to save for such a trip.. I mean, that’s some miles..
Use Google Earth or something similar to plot this route once, it’s exciting, if you ask me.

Then all of a sudden I was back in Amsterdam, leaving a costume party, dressed as “bob the builder” or something.. I decided to stroll the streets some more, then I had the “idea” to buy myself a dildo in one of the pr0n-shops and mount it on the big power drill that I carried (remember, dressed as bob the builder).
So there I was walking through Amsterdam, helmet on my head, blue work clothes, wearing a giant power drill with an artificial penis mounted on top.. crazy shit.
At one moment there I woke up with the mentioned pain in my back. :(
