Brussels is the political capital of EU in many aspects. It sports many fine sights among which are Grand place surrounded by grand buildings of centuries past. Above you find Moonhouse #2.42 – The answer on a landfall in Grand Place. It did pass Manneken Pis but found mooring hard in the crowd.

In the absense of the little boy eternally relieveing himself you find #2.42 attempting to find its karma with the orange Buddha below.

Congratulations Emil on your successful expedition. We wish you fair winds on your coming adventures.

On May 22, 2015 Moonhouse #2.42 made landfall near the dome och Cologne lending some of its colour to the aged beauty of the grey building dating back to the middle ages. Or actually, the foundations for the dome were laid in 1248 and the building was completed in 1860. Construction spanning over more than 600 years warrants respect.

Congratualations on your successful expedition Emil, we wish you fair winds for your coming expeditions.

The House on the Moon is art as is reflected clearly in the first article of the manifesto. Another artform is music and among famed composers Carl-Michael Bellman shares age and geographial roots with the red houses. Maybe it would even be fair to bring an Epistle to the Moon when the house gets there.

On February 1, 2014, three days before the composers 249th birthday, the Moonhouse #2.42 and Emil Vintehav explored the poetry of the songs and epistles of Carl-Michael Bellman when Bacchi Lada met up to honour the composer, in song and circumstance at Den Gyldene Freden, an establishment that the composer himself frequented in his lifetime. The participants at Bacchi Lada treated each other to singing to the accompaniment of variety of instruments including electric balaljka, melodica and the traditional perisan tar all played an sung at an incredibly high standard.

Congratulations Emil to your successful expedition and fair winds on your coming adventures.
