get the wor (l) d

Not only ... back home, uh, in Bangalore, but finally had the long-awaited problems with the bike. Yes, because we have been waiting on it. Not what would be really innovative new broke. But how could it, with my old bike ...
So, the path through the mountains of Kasagarod was wonderful, wonderful. Green forests, red flowers, alternating with steppes, well, ugly and some piles of rubbish too. But we become blind after a while.

First there was a problem with the gear shift, sensitive as I am I've noticed after only two days to go in the hallways not know, because nearly dropping the transmission cover. And so the clutch does nothing around what they want, disengagement, for example.

Well, three screws hard contractions later the problem was solved, okok, I would also like Potter can nachfülln oil.

But then, about a hundred yards from the border gate of Karnataka (there are some uniforms to the gate to open, nothing else) pulls the Gasbaudenzug. Wow, the gabs schonmal , oh yeah, I was nostalgic. So a hundred meters down the tongs with ner Bowden, crossed the magic threshold and improvise from the only mechanic in town 50Seelen-NEN can spare.

Going back fine, after all, to operate it with handle, not only of themselves, idling for all cases.

Just right to go to the blocked highway continues. I had no Gasgriffrueckzug (or whatever it is called) and the highway had no covering, or did not stop there, or something.

Anyway, I'm now back in Bangalore, after calming night at Hassan (unique combination of city and country) NEN evening with beer, movies, and nice friends spent. Finally, back at home until next week. And, still no broadband. Hmmmm ...

Yes, if you think I'll hang on the beach is still around, but there you have misled you. I, too, I'm two days ago set out to drive to Varkala Kerala coast in the north. What I have just made it too, but has somehow can not find more beach. Well, if I had really looked right.

For yesterday I've got an excuse, because I've moved me that is. So not much, after several hours encouraging bike does not just sit still hurt mightily, but also setting the body, from which direction the sun. Or must come, if you're right. So I was right, but just Nich on the beach, but somehow the way inland to the north. I think so, have moved the highway that looked suspiciously like highway anyway. What one should still make you wonder

Well, today I am a bit further. Dangers. About 200km, which can easily remember because exactly one tank of fuel (one for 500 rupees, please!) Corresponds. Yeah, the box swallows too much fuel, I advanced. But that also means 200km degree, no matter how I am in Kerala, Kasagarod or something like that is the town next door.

Problem is, this is the city. Next door. And why get updated very often ne Lodge (Lodge is here in the hotel only gibs food, no bed) here. Near the beach area is a no lodges, is not a tourist border. And Indian women are not so often at the beach, movie theaters and temples prefer - and gibs are no tourists. It has been shown in the flashing eyes of the master's lodge, as he has rented me a room.

Well, I got a room. And I can rest a little. Tomorrow we're namely through the mountains towards Bangalore. Two days I let it, maybe I can use the time and still roam through the woods a bit, here is beautiful nature. Palm, tea, mountain times ... hope that I'm having a really cross me again landfill, unfortunately, sometimes you feel here, but I've picked out already NEN exciting way.

And then meet in Bangalore, Dinesh, Lalu and Vidhy again. It's time ...

I sit on the beach, Varkala again yeah. Everything Indian, and it belongs to me I'm the pre-monsoon chosen for my holidays. Season, still touristy, but relaxing.

Highlights so far: rain immediately after the start in Trivandrum, forced break. Then, yesterday for breakfast I have my croissant Clown of ner crow. The whole outrageous! During the day and swim program, and in the evening again in NEM beach cafe, beer, tea pots. Due to lack of license.

Ne night in the hotel Chinese surveillance drone asked. NEN was about inches long and has been ne green LED installed that has always flashed when running. So ne status, all probably ok. After an extensive video documentation, which is published exclusively here at a given bandwidth, I have the high-tech drone looted and set the orientation to ne wrong track!

Why Chinese? Well, ne flashing status LED, which says it all. I let myself get Nich any case small, and hold you to go running ...

Holiday. At last. Beach and chill in between rain and sultry heat, sunburn gabs again, wonderful. After several weeks now I've tried here at the IT Department to reform what actually needs a revolution (and then of course, was not too lazy to foment the revolution), it was really time to get air again.

If only tourist-air, only when NEM trip to Kovalam , TouriBeach number one here and then in a few days in Varkala , TouriBeach number 2 but not to be despised. Beach1 was actually only NEN day visit value, since I've been there several times and is just very unique. In particular, the Hotel Leela asks, is not it like I'm dorhin come. Nix with one-eyed purple haired alien , financed only tourists there. But if you are here as foreigners randomly mitm taxi - the official car of the Institute, an old Ambassador - pulls up, you get just anywhere, even in fancy hotels.

Well let just for NEN afternoon, then last Sunday after starting Varkala Beach and there diligently, computers and pubs alternate with one another. Could actually be quite nice there, but just somehow outside India. Only tourists everywhere, and prices accordingly. However, there are also things like rolling tobacco buy what led to that after several months Nichrauchdasein now turn back time. Otherwise, I'm always where the rain has sent me back inside programmed diligently, and now my software project even NEN editor, you must test it.

As one can ever make Nich vacation, I am the last Wednesday had to be returned to Trivandrum to the institute and there still hacked Debian on Sun machines. Still on NER Linux Install Party have been what it is not everything here so spontaneous! Taking advantage of the opportunity here to take farewell of all that I've learned the last few weeks in the Institute - hopefully we'll meet again soon.

And then also made plans for the India-labor-end holidays, we go to France in early May, mid May to Germany last week of May and I'm finally back in my beloved Rostock. So ever heated water to the Baltic Sea! Are still few weeks time, and I'll look at me again India. Tomorrow we return to Varkala, and then, slowly but surely, back to Bangalore. So you may get updated very often again more news, but certainly less photos. We shall see!

Everything fluctuates. One more thing, but nothing around so doll like last week. Friday. I hardly leave the house early in the morning came, and still wanted to believe that it was only the hum of the day before the head of beer.

Dinesh has sent me home before I was really gone, and my body I did the next three days, much to so that he can have a real virus attack only in peace what.

There were: fever, headache and Überkeit, eye pain and inability to concentrate, tablet, oatmeal and comics (no computers!), After three days of intensive therapy, then everything was better again. Impressive. And boring. How to be sick just so. Anyway, I HERE now to start thinking of better and I can - and probably should - once again hack into my blog what.

Before I had given up the long boring days of revolutions, and have listened to the fans, of course, incredible things have happened, unfortunately, are just a few of them remained in my memory. But as the morning, at which hook'ten up all the ants in the vicinity of my power adapter. In order to proceed in the noise of the electrons to end their lives. Confusing.

Furthermore, it was a memorable evening on the beach with Dinesh. Under palm trees, and Toddy . Of homemade palm wine, it was lovely. Well, there are rumors that my upset of the last days on this experiment with drugs attributed to local property. I myself see it that way, I need no reasons and anyone besides me just to visit once ne toddy bar. I'm now already.

And my other bike was at the doctor. It was indeed time again. Was just beginning to find a little difficult, but at some point somebody is on the website of the Bike Nomads stumbled, wow, finally a Communty Wiki with information. In India.

The mechanic has put everything super tinkering, and because I was so proud of that and wanted to do anyway always time NEN film (Hr.Schmidt!), So gibs EasyPeasyRider08 ([ HQ 319MByte ], [ LQ 153MByte ]), the latest film from I. And yes, I recognize the enormous demands of my artistically educated public, quite the Dogme style (apart from the film format). And if you do not have the bandwidth, no problem. I can assure you, it's not worth it!
