As always, the Verbeekli experience brings one to lands of wonder and unforgettable experiences.

Finally Alison’s dream comes true: a real uni-corn of her own!

But things are not always as magical. Many a time it’s just being subject to a casual space armada strolling into your core galactic sectors.

Which gives rise to scheming
And ruthless assassinations when least expected. Oh sweet revenge.

Luckily we have time to cool down from our galactic adventures, best spent a little away from the city in the semi-fresh air, under the searing death-rays of the sun.

Devil’s Peak climb and the ‘real’ Fortress Hill hike
No more Japanese here right?
Look, I promise, this place is not cursed at all.

Hiking is an excellent moment to reflect on life, work, and the choices you have made, so that when the work week commences you can go back to your desk without distractions.

“What if I had to choose between eternal global war in which all the soldiers would receive infinite high-quality chocolate rations everyday, or world peace but we had to give up chocolate forever…”

The difficult thoughts of our daily ponderings require an outlet, and it’s always nice to know we can share them with each other. Also, in a relationship you help each other deal with your emotional baggage. If you have too much baggage that you haven’t dealt with, that could pose trouble for the relationship.

Both Alison and Me have so much emotional baggage that we can never take the underground trains, we always have to take the tram or a taxi.

With long and careful attention to each other’s needs, your partner and your friends can help you overcome any obstacle, as your bundled powers of friendship and support get you through difficult times.

Such as evil Wizard attacks!
Power of Friendship: ACTIVATE!!!

At the end of the day, after all the assassinations, galactic conquests, kung fu battles, curse lifting, unicorn selfies, baggage measuring, and mountain climbing, we never forget to find time to annoy the shit out of each other.

Taking turns to be the romantic annoyer
And annoyee

Tuesday we leave for Beijing for Chinese New year with Alison’s family. I look forward to what new adventures this will bring!
