I'm on the way to Denmark from Holland and it's been a while since I made a blog post. I left the squat in Utrecht after staying there a week and resting a lot. We had torrential rain for one day and half of the squat was flooded out, the huge building collected huge amounts of water on its roof and the guttering wasn't maintained so there was lots of flooding.

It was so relieving to hang around with people not wearing fucking masks, and to not see traumaticised people everywhere - especially the Fascist policeman fining people for not wearing a muzzle in the streets.

The best Guest Room ever

I woke up one day with backache and then the next day with like some flu thing that took hold of me after I rested a day or two. it was only 2 days ago that I woke up feeling healthy and feeding my old self again since a long time. The stress must have started to leave my body and after having a guest room to use, I had the chance to relax and recover.


The photos I took of the place..

A couple of the many Art instillations:

Just to get the idea of the spaces inside..

Inside the front of the building used to be with a fish pond and must have looked quite pimping.

It was such a freak show inside the place that in one section someone had made a full scale house inside the factory, which I thought was really cool but shame I didn't take more photos.

The shower room was also quite posh! But sadly the gas was finished and so the water was cold 😭

I've teamed up with a woman who wanted to go on a road trip and so she is driving up to North Denmark. She does have a wagon Above and Below but it's easier and cheaper to take the car which is big enough to sleep in anyway.

After the huge squat, she showed me her bus and where she lives which is in a town called Eda where her and some other people are occupying a derelict Garden Center.

It was also a really nice place really chilled-out and spacious compared to the previous place at Bikewars. Bikewars was the name of this huge squat and confusingly it is the name of an event of which people make their own custom bicycles and then have a war to destroy them by crashing into each other,

there are maybe still videos on YouTube of Bikewars if you want to see what I'm talking about. - it's quite fun!


Up to date!

Today we will enter Denmark. On Thursday we should be at the camp I visited in February right at the very North of Denmark. We will go up the west side of Denmark camping along the way and its good to catch up to blog again 😉

This is the setup for the travel.
