So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!!!

Joy is sometimes a blessing, but is often a conquest. Our magic moment helps us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times and we will experience many disappointments but all this is transitory; it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride at the journey we have taken. Paulo Coelho (By the river piedra I sat down and wept)

This quote of Paulo came to me not long after my things got stolen in Nicaragua, which was a difficult time for me, this text helped me to believe in the purpose of my journey, why I did all of this. I thought it was a nice text for what might be my last message on my blog.

It seems like yesterday I left The Netherlands after saying goodbye to all of you. And now I cannot believe that tomorrow I will be sitting in the plane back to my homecountry. But I am going back full with memories and so much more friends from all over the world. Yes you are reading it right I am coming home a little bit earlier because of the influenza that it roaming around the country of Mexico. It wouldn't be wise to go to the capital right now, so i changed my flight and tomorrow I am flying to arrive saturdaymorning.

Saying goodbye in Costa Rica was very hard, especially cause everybody thinks I will be back in a couple of months. Who knows..si Dios quiere! Semana Santa I spend on the beach and at Rio Celeste, a blue river, so incredibly beautifull. My last week in Monteverde was really nice, I got to ride the most beautifull horse of my life, Santenario, and also got to ride during Montverdes horseshow, on Marvin's horse. It was saying goodbye in a very official way. Than my dear Edgar and Erlin took me to Alajuela, and there was everybody waiting to have a nice saying goodbye lunch. In the evening we said goodbye, and the tears were flowing heavily. Well it is better to show emotions than to keep everything inside no? Well two days in alajuela and than my plane to Cancun. On the airport were Rolph and Renata waiting for me. I came out of the airplane with 40 men from Agentinia, crazy linka. Playa del Carmen was just crazy. A Rugbygame of the Argentinians, followed by a crazy crazy party. Then I got attacked by a pitbull who was running on a leash but just out to get people on bicycles. And than some quiet days on the beach, to end it today with a nice fall of my bike in the streets of Playa del Carmen. My legs just recovered from the mosquitobites from Monteverde, but now I got a nice bloodyscar, and a dogbite to remember me a couple of weeks more of my stay in Playa del Carmen. Fortunately the people here are so nice and helped me out. But I went to the bikeplace and in my Spanish I told them I was very disatified with their bikes. The bike just fell apart. Well thusfar my experiences in Latin America. I hope you enjoyed reading them, and I think I will write more when I have arrived in The Netherlands. But one thing I loved the most about being here was getting to meet so many warm people, who might have nothing to share, but still will shar the world with you. We so called modern civilized people can take a great lesson from that.

Peoples, I am looking forward to see you guys, and mayby we will have a party on the fifth, i guess if i am going to be in the country with the fireworks at 23.00 why not go there. Please remember that I have lost my cellphone so dont have your numbers anymore, so call me, my number is still the same!

Big big big kiss from Linka in influenzacountry. Oink Oink!
