Ik ben David Vuylsteke
Ik ben een man en woon in Oostende - Bissegem (Kortrijk) (België) en mijn beroep is deskundige aquacultuur.
Ik ben geboren op 20/08/1985 en ben nu dus 39 jaar jong.
Mijn hobby's zijn: Duiken, aquaristiek, foto/film, rally, minivoetbal.
Since several people have been asking me if I stopped taking pictures, I thought it was time to put some more online. I have to say that during the last months I haven't been taking a lot of pictures. Too busy with other things is one reason... Probably when winter is gone, I'll try to put some more time in it. Enjoy and comment plz.
Despite having a good time in Athens, I wanted to visit an island. I finally decided to go to Koufonisia. It's a small island in the Cyclades with an area of 3.5 km² and 366 inhabitants. The ferry left from Piraeus towards Sifnos, Paros, Naxos, Iraklia, Schinoussa, Koufonisia and Amorgos. Only the ferry trip is already worth it's money. The sea was as flat as a pancake, beautifull sky with small clouds, nice view over different islands and I saw 5 dolphins! Arriving at 2.00 at night on the island, I headed east to find a good spot to set up my tent. I finally arrived in Pori bay witch looked, despite the darkness, very beautifull. Waking up and seeing it during daylight was amazing! During my stay, I discovered the whole island (as it is so small) and found many beautifull places.
Kea, one of the islands you pass by
Beautifull Gala beach, noth east of the island
Except those 2 fishermen, I spend the whole day alone on this beach without seeing nobody
Cave witch connects the small beach with the sea. The view underwater is undescribable, must see this!
Feeling that you are the only person on earth, great!
Incredible Pori bay. Shallow sandy bay, picture taken from the taverna witch serves low priced dishes. Spend my first night on this beach.
Piscina or swimming pool

Beside hanging out in the RC, the first week I also visited Athens (as I was staying there) and went out with Victoria, Vivi and their friends. Athens is such a busy, crazy city. Compared to some years ago, it looks like the population doubled. Every hour of the day, you see lots of traffic, crowded busses, metros and trams, people going out and hanging around on the streets. Despite the crisis, people still go out and spend money, as we would lock ourselves up and being afraid of spending money. I wonder how it will be next winter, as it looks like people don't care at the moment and just enjoy summertime. Although Athens is very busy, you don't see a lot of tourists. From what I've heard, there are about 2000 overnight stay cancellations a day and since tourism is very important for Greece... During my stay, there were no demonstrations but you can still see many banners in the streets.

After a good sleep, I decided to visit the Rescue Center again. After being fed up with that place 2 years ago, I was quite excited and looking forward to it. Once arrived, some volunteers including Pavlo (RC coordinator) were out to release 4 turtles (first ones this year). In general, the RC still looks, feels (and smells ) the same as before although some positive changes were done. As there were not many turtles (20) but a lot of volunteers (9), I didn't worked with the turtles this time. Though I spend a few days and nights here, hanging out with the volunteers from Sweden, Finland, Holland, Austria, England, Germany and Greece.
23 may, I went back to Greece to see some friends and to visit some new places. Once arrived in Athens, I met Victoria who guided me around and took me to Vivi's apartement where I would spend a few days. Both took care of me and treated me like a VIP, many thanks for that!
