Belgium/Netherlands trip
The project was actually in Netherlands. But it was very expensive to stay and fly there. Luckily we have a friend Matthias who lives in Belgium and it turned out that he is quite close to the Netherlands border. Matthias also our Patreon and super kind and generous guy, so we stayed at his place. Sometimes that's the only option to film and volunteer is to stay at friends and save as much as we can. Because otherwise it won't be possible to participate in a projects so frequently. Kind of similar to the life of underground musician :)
Anyway, we rented a tiny car in Charleroi airport, because there was no other way to get to the different locations in Netherlands + during the night.
It was ok, but super tiny :)
And during day we were at Matthias and Belgium and in the evenings went to Netherlands.
Traditional Belgium fries :) That's the way they do it, you order large portion, they put a lot of fries, really a lot of them in the tiny box. It was o much fries, we took them with us, and still couldn't finish them in 2 days :)
Mara really wanted to see tulips and we were driving around Zeeland (an area in Netherlands) to search for them, and we found them
Anyway the project was about Glass eels, and it's very complex situation and topic. We were fishing them with a net, then inject color tags on them and later release them back. In short their population had declined in Northern see for 99% !!!!!! In the last 40 or so years.
So we were on a mission to save them. It was night work, dirty, cold and slippery, but it was worth it.
So now I will start making the video, and meanwhile we have another projects lined up.
