''No hugs please and don't bring me your babies - I'm not Jesus.'' It's a bizarre but necessary disclaimer from Lucy Lawless as she faces 300 of her biggest…

She was pure naturel this time wearing very casual cloths, not much make-up, just the way we love Lucy. Her sexy concert rocked. And I got 3 private minutes with her in which she blessed me and my wife with our xena marriage. I showed her my weddingring and she was thrilled as we were. Love that Kiwi woman!

3 months of hard seachingm, digging and unfortunately paying.   The second my domain name came free again a wholesaler took it away.  So I had to go to an auction to try win back my property.   It is unlogic but that is the way it goes on the internet.

Finally, all is back mine.   I have made a small link on Lotolux.com towards my Loyaltoxena.com

When I have the time again I will transfer everything back onto Lotolux.com but for now I..m just happy it is mine again.

The girl who helped the deaf fan was me. Nor I or Lucy..s aide were not aware of the deaf language which made Lucy and the audian

Month of discussion and searching work to find that hoster back with no result at all.

For 2 years I was with Edward Salatas of Freesitehosting.co.uk.  All went ok.  In 2007 I extended my account until 2010.  What happened in January 2008?   Suddenly my website if off the net.   I tried to contact Edward Salatas on different phone number.  Everywere a mailbox but never any reaction from him.

So I went to the official and legal institution to help me out.  Seems Mr Salatas is not a very trusty person at all.    Instead of having registered my domain name on my name as it should have been legally.  He registered it on his name.  If he did this at the renewal or from the beginning is hard to find out but a fact is certain that he did not act according the legal internet rules.   I paid for my domain name and his just registered it under his name.

I paid until 2010 and in jan 2008 he did take of my website and he is no longer reachable.

Through Tucows I was informed that the new contact for my domain name is Heartinternet.co.uk   I already contacted them before in order to get in contact with Mr Salatas.   They were not very cooperative.    They say they had contact with him on the base coordinates but those are not working!!!!!!   Further they even called me and were not friendely at all and this is even a gentle statement. So on advise of Tucows I had to contact them again.  Their answer was that they will no longer reply to me and consider my requests as spam.  General opinion is that here is something really not correct going on.

I've been framed that is for sure.   I even found out that Mr Salatas has a lot of jobs or had.  Photographer where he also made some other phtotographer angry by copying pictures and considering it as his own, he is a private investigater, a reseller as hoster.   And on all those phonenumber he is not reachable.

My advise if you want to start with a domain name or hosting : Don't do it with him.

I advise servage.net

I finally finished the website with the Xena film locations.  It took me 3 months to have it all done inclusive the videos.

It was hard looking for the right pictures versus the screengrabs.   I now know when I get back there in 2009 where I have to go to take some more perfect pictures.

But it was already amazing to see how many pictures we took that shows the exactly the same spot as during the filming.  That really gives a kick.

So go to XENA FILM LOCATIONS AND MUCH MORE

For where we stayed go to BETHELLS BEACH COTTAGES
Have fun!

Love and happiness for ever

Martine

After weeks of sorting out 2200 pictures and sorting out the screengrabs all 132 Xena episodes, today I finished my website with putting them all online with comments.

Hi my dearest friends,

I wanted to wait until everything was done with the pictures and the website but I couldn't wait to share these few moments with you.  I can keep telling and writing cause there is no end to what we experienced.

One advise - get to NZ.

I really do not know where to begin.   It was just a
dream come true.
The wedding started great and all went as planned.
With a copy of the outfits of Xena and Gabrielle
(Soulpossesion and Back in the Bottle) people where
estonished of the beauty of it.  So the woman who
created and copied the outfits of Xena/Garielle did a
perfect job.  People still are talking about it as
everybody still says that those outfits where very
very beautiful.
We felt just like celebrities cause the cameras kept
going click click while we moved along.  Just feeling
very very VIPPIE important we just went along and
enjoyed every moment of it.  We were amazed of the
crowd that was all over and everywhere.  All
neighbours waiting in front of the house, all came to
town hall, they just followed us everywhere.
Super!!!!
I skip the things during the day.
The opening dance on Lucy's song Let it whip with a
super choreography by a belgian celebrity and
professional dancer just went super!  We started
perfect and made the whole dance perfect without
thinking.   Just went on the rythm and the voice of
Lucy.   At time of the wedding cake I had a suprise
cause I did found a very sexy warrior outfit. So there
the cameras went again.

The honeymoon at Auckland NZ .............aaaah
PARADISE and a Xena world.
People are so friendly, life is so healthy, relaxed,
cheap and no-rushy.  We still cannot adapt ourselves
to our own life.   It is so selfish overhere.
We were logged at Bethells Beach and you know
.........the owners (the Bethel family) of all that
property of a couple of 1000 acres, well, on there
property 90% has been filmed.  So we had acces to
every scene you can think about.  We had a view on the
black Bethels beach where Caesar crucified Xena, where
Xena said hello to Caesar in Destiny, where you got
the Shooting Gallery with the gods of Motherhood,
where we could stand on the rocks of Miss Amphipolis
and of Little problems, where we had acces to
Calisto's cave and where the chariot race on the beach
took place and where also Ulysses was filmed.  A
little bit further down the beach you had O'Neil beach
where The return of the Valkerie took place.

Then Lake Wainamu, we have had a swim in it.  The lake
of Fins Femmes and Gemms.  Yep the acces where Xena
took a dive in the water.   The same acces to the lake
for Mortal Beloved, the same spot where Gabrielle
talked to Sarafine in Sacrifice, the same spot where
Gabrielle waited for Xena in Mortal Beloved.   Those
enormous black sand dunes where Xena drove her horse
in In the Sin Trade.   Below the sand dunes the walks
and river where Calisto killed Perdicus, also where
Chariots of War was filmed.   The sand Dunes of To
Helicon and back.  We went there all.
We even visited an amazone village, well what remains
of it.   We saw a place in the wood where enormous
scenes have been filmed.

And to get you as jalouse as I was .........
John and Trudy Bethels have had Hercules in one of
there cottage but ............... and now get jalouse,
John has been the private chauffeur of Lucy for 2-3
years.  YIIIIIIIII!  He told us a lot of beautiful
stories of Lucy being such a very nice lady.

We have 610 pictures of the honeymoon and bout 2hrs of
video.  And over 1000 pictures of the wedding.

Honeymoon pictures and video are already been put on a
montage line and I have to complete them with some
titles.   Then split them up into different albums and
then have my website done.  I need to make different
pages with the roadmap, info how to get there, picture
of the show versa the actual picture and then link to
the album.  So it will take a while to have it all
done.

Oh yes, Do Something Scarry, the payoff is awsome!!!
And it really is.  We went into the footsteps of Lucy
and went for tum tum toobing and 100m abseiling in the
lost world + 30m ladder climbing in the waitomo caves.
Those caves with glowworms are soooooo beautiful and
the adventure was kicking.

And we went to Mission Bay, the residence where Lucy
is living.   And got myself a haircut at the local and
international winner.  It is such a nice place there.
I could live there!

Went to Mount Albert to look for the birthhome of
Lucy.  We saw it but couldn't take a picture as the
house is standing behind others.   It is quite a
difference with the houses at Mission Bay.

Aahhhhhh, we are going back within 2-3 years that's fore sure.

Hey all,

Go to 360.yahoo.com/martinexena and go for the Auckland Album.

enjoy the paradise of Xena.

Slow internet connection so a very small topic

Bye
