Should I be happy? I'm in the middle of the extension
Immediately upon arrival micht welcomes the indication 'flight delayed due operational reasons to' delayed. 4.5 hours. Operational Reasons, nice soothing explanation.
And beaten so ne Night on the Delhi airport around the ears. At five we went off, the connecting flight from Moscow to Berlin, was rebooked in tandem, instead of 10.30 is now 16.55Uhr back to D-land. And so I see the old home now right on the darkest day of the year in the dark. Well, to do nothing.
Especially I sit in Moscow Scheremetevo, we were just before the departure of the original flight because, as we have by rule that was it too late. And if that was worked out with the luggage then, who knows. So six hours transit zone, are minus 13 degrees outside, too bad I can not get out of that.
found shortly after noon that the good-morning flight to Berlin was still there - departure time 12.20. We were no longer on board, because the food was already on board and would not reach, so far as to absurd justifications. Übrigns flew the machine is still, nevertheless, because in Berlin too glaring weather. What is going on there?
Will I at least use the Internet, 25euro for 2 hours. The spin here completely. So off with live-blogging.
know when to sit around and Elke Tyll. First is a mathematician / physicist at the Technical University of Berlin and the Max Planck Institute Leipzig, one focus will be working quantum computer. Elke is a teacher in Brandenburg, alo much gelabert the afternoon and yet rumbekommen quite well. But now I am completely tired, hopefully to sleep on the plane again for a while and then celebrate in the evening to six in Berlin, holidays end. It's that's it then. And now is a little less hectic blogged ![]()

should get paid after arrival in Delhi a prepaid taxi, 160rp, and the information that we take out a black and yellow cabs. Take! If it were that simple times. They wanted all of us do not, do not know how to take a 'Taxi'. After calming chaotic re-in-Delhi-phase and then somehow get an allocated and fine up to come to Akhai and Soso.
Beautiful, a little bit to be at home in Delhi. Soso, and Akhai live just outside in the middle of Delhi, but not in the chaos of the Main Bazaar.
The last day to take things quietly been shopping a bit at noon and stress absorbed the last impressions of Delhi. Soso had now ditched her job, has Akhai was his first vacation day, enjoyed pre-Christmas mood not only in Soso & Akhai at home, even Delhi is winter colder, around 20 degrees, and now and christmas Geblinke. Ne slow tuning.
In the evening, Hugo then 'Age of Empire' installed on the local network, and Hugo were then Akhai understandably busy
I've got a Punjabi-Video DVD looked, parting from the too rarely heard music.
A few beers and a tasty dinner later we went off to the airport. Of course, the money for the taxi has not natural enough. I had 255rp, taximeter earnings were about 370rp. Fortunately all know Akhai the cameraman just pays his name Gutner ![]()
And from the airport, India, byebye!

What a farewell party. Nothing to write the place again Pine Cafe, the Beach Shack (as the beach restaurants are called here) where we were before the whole day already. Creatures of habit. Fred, Daniel, Hugh, Buzz (that's the name of the British), his girlfriend, three Estonie, two elderly people, ohoh. Have eaten, drunk, smoked, chatted and laughed.
For the first time the folks from Pine Cafe surpassed that have previously been tired. And increased my bill in the Pine Cafe at 1000rp/20eur thought, not that it will work here. But Goa is not just India.
yesterday celebrated a long day, get up early, saw the light of day shortly after ninth And no headaches or anything, everything is perfect. We went to all other super is probably training thing. In any event, the last half a day spent at the beach, bathed again in the Arabian Sea and taken leave. Well, certainly not forever, but in any case for almost a year.
With NEM to taxi to the airport, then make IndiGo, our choice, the airline worse. 'The call-center has canceled your booking. " Because occurred lately fraud with credit cards. And to be sure, wanted to see now the credit card, what a nonsense. It was lucky I had booked my own, what to do when the cash in the money and then not cough up the ticket because someone else has paid ... Well, everything for our safety.
After a few more security features - the latest hit here is the no-liquids-on-board rule - now I'm sitting in the plane to Delhi. The return journey begins. The track I've been associated with Hugo in NEM months beeen at a bike behind me, now two and a half hours back.
This evening against nine in Delhi, then to Akhai and Soso and then again tomorrow NEN Abschiedstag Delhi in chaos.

The evening was then decided that was canceled in typical Indian style (or rather Goa-style?) Is the mini-conference in Mapusa collage. So off with mesh-declare on the last day, is a shame, but somehow not too bad, I can spend the day at the beach. To set the mood again yesterday just delicious eaten on the beach, KingPrawns, leckerlecker.
Contrary to the Indian case of intentional dynamics I have kept me on my day and most of the day on the beach and read. Clearly also swam, watched what makes it so you just at the beach (except Sport).
Afternoon, a sad moment, I have brought my motorcycle to Jojo's, mechanic NEN enfiled will be unprotected now, the following 10 months of my motorcycle. The first farewell, this time from my biker life. But also a nice feeling, something to be here and at next time so that even a little bit more to be here at home. In the meantime, but still a lot of water flow through the Ganges can be gained we see.

Last night after the night market or with Hugo and NEM British, Bila or so, durchgequatscht the night and pretty much nibbled by the local beer.
After calming rather short night, completely flat this morning, mornings, then, was first beach recreation. Read swam, not many such days here. And once again learned that alcohol, the enemy of relaxation is the following day.
Shiv from Trivandrum has now arrived here, had a birthday yesterday and fortunately was similarly flat as we did.
In the afternoon I suddenly saw from the balcony from NEN kiters. I believe it not, finally! Then the kite was gone, so off to the beach found and searched.
Something talked with the guy a local, he says there ne kitesurfing school here, but the boss makes grad holiday. In Arambol (or so north) gives more courses. Cost about 8000rp/160eur scarce for a week, so not so much Cheap as in D-land. And the season is here in January / February, then wind is right. Good to know, I'll do well next year in Rostock NEN course.
# The taxi driver, Annan said today that he will go early to church. Not with the motorcycle but with the car, is now in the early cold winter. Well, only 30 degrees or so, interesting perspective. #

Last night there with Hugo Firefly looked pretty cozy and end can. Today early again started with a swim in the Arabian Sea, then searched the Enfield-Pro, which I will assume my bike.
Some reciprocating, he was no degree there, but a little later came around and no problem, 150rp/3eur month. sure the box is beautifully parked and packed in the monsoon, so that next autumn I like new again get my bike.
Then to the shop to Mapusa and the beach, or further activities was too warm for, bathed, read, talk, chilling quite cozy. It somehow also found that it does not go to Delhi until Wednesday, but already Tuesday again one day less and the departure is approaching slowly.
Today evening it goes to the Night Market, a local tourist-shopping event, but probably quite nice, we'll see.

Of course, one must also look at the times around here. Drum arranged thing in the morning with Daniel on the beach for breakfast. Actually, Hugo was also, but he was still too flat from the Porte wine of the evening. Been swimming up and down to the last bike tour, but look again NEN temple. But the way was the goal, and was immediately blocked the beginning: (
Had my bike before NEM hotel here parked next door, was probably not so smart. Two broken tires are not just well, more to it. First of repair to Schlauchflickwallah and mature, during nice breakfast and begin the day but so slowly.
Lunch we went really going on, what a romantic memory of South repairing breaks in the Biketrip direction. First of Malaya for Lake View (or something similar), then a pause and then said to the temple. The Lake View Restaurant eating, super beautiful area. Immediately after I had parked my bike and straight times 50 yards away, a confused street dachshund the part with NEM tree and piss on my helmet (Well, welcome to Goa.
Nevertheless, the region enjoyed, so even a walk around the lake afterwards. At some point, we were three quarters around, went further away under the water we want to risk not natural. The only way out was an overgrown jungle instead of back just above long. Brave as I was ahead, but abandoned gelich again, the plants looked too prickly, to hold badly. Once out of the brushwood, and everything itches. Really, it itches, itches, itches, damn incredible arms, legs, and the whole body itches like crazy. Evening, then I learn from the locals, that there are trees whose pollen is toxic, because what the crap? Incredibly, after this lousy attack of nature was nothing more to do with myself. Everything has just itched, to search for the temple, we then postponed times and are still beautiful ne ne island tour over back.
This has the itch is given to luck for a good shower, but the cases also had to be washed and even my backpack is now Juckquelle ne ... What a day.

The beach. Internettag. Nich done much else, must indeed go without times
A nice book started, 'River of Gods' by Ian McDonald. Science-fiction of the plays in the India of the future. Did not really read much, but I like the idea of times already.
Hugo afternoon came after he had learned to Goa is not a city, so there is no bus station Goa, he has found the way here, well
His plans are going to Trivandrum history already, in January it works after Bangalore. The loading of Hugo Danesh fits better, Bangalore is probably more likely to be pavement. A little moody the whole, but he must know.
Towards evening, the cozy little beer drinking part herausgezögert, since I have with my Enfield NEM bin fFor the look wanted. Fred knew because what we had arranged to meet in the evening. But was ne Indian appointment, I was not quite clear. Na, was to get drunk not too late and that I then made strong. ![]()
# With Cletha (or so), the Kneipierstochter gelabert. Nice woman. Learn that Monday is a protest in the capital, because any development plan provides for the cutting down of trees here. I am still not entirely clear how, where and why, but the locals do NEN protest against it, but I'm here #

As might be expected today ignores the morning and sees only in the Frühmittagshitze the light of day. Yesterday, too long even in the restaurant from Fred had enjoyed some athmosphere c-base. For a few weeks is the Goa-Mesh, so finally available here Internet. While not on the beach, but the beach is visible from here, but is also what. On the beach at least not in mechanical our favorite cafe, next to already. ![]()
So first looked at the area, sometimes running to Calangute and myself missed NEN sunburn. Is funny here, with NEM 500rp bill can pay you anywhere, but can write anywhere. So one last appearance for a while
![]()
running back on the beach, of course, not again been so stupid to let me talk into taking ne massage and provides twenty times confirmed that the ladies massage well I sure can but have no need. Sure!
Afternoon in the apartment and spent lamps for Fred's Restaurant handicrafts. The apartment is great, just behind the dunes, balcony with sea view (I sleep on the balcony, the sound of the sea in the ear) and even ne kitchen with refrigerator. Allrdings must first learn to go shopping yet, the fridge is still empty.
Beautiful evening sitting on the beach, cozy here. Not the backpacker / party-Goa, but a very comfortable home to be here. Hugo morning comes, I hope you like it here too.

The time trial has now worked. In the evening back to Karnataka, did not want to wait longer and I prefer a hotel in Karwal taken.
had early on purely Goa, not even NEN breakfast of coffee and pulled over just yet by NEM at the border post was bull. Has looked at my papers, driving licenses, registration of the bike, and would then have 500rp contract because the contract was not completed and that my bike was not so real. (As if the role of ne) Na I've not discussed at large and ne receipt requested, when we were already 200rp - it can also regulate the so - but I was still stupid. So about change, something tells me and then passed to the scrounge elsewhere.
Fred met in Goa, Candolim and Calangute who lives between. Daniel von Freifunk / Berlin was still there, had built up here, the mesh with. I live in the apartment next to Fred, balcony with sea view, beautiful and luxurious. And even the Internet if the server has electricity.
In the afternoon at the beach - in the heat are few alternatives. There, I've saved me the Goa-admission can To coax again. Anita, ne beautiful Indian woman, has missed me ne massage. 300rp. Toenails cut 350rp sounded more like I do more for 50rp clean feet. Clever Anita came naturally to 650rp, but when I took that 100rp good customer discount. Well, the rip-off Goa had thus found their victim.
