Well that's it then that is, three hours I was in Africa. Specifically, Tangier, Morocco. And was kind of interesting, but somehow not entirely unusual excitement. Tangier has mittlealterliche have a real town. And of course, ne series buildings on the beach but something I look at me so Nich. And still more people who want to show a permanent town, with no obligation. Then you try to carpet stores get to tell you what the horse (I here teachers have ') and then, if you have them finally made it clear that one is really buying anything, again you try to turn a handful of shoe polish.

Nich me. For one, I'm used to better persuasion by India, on the other, I need no creams or similar degree. Apart from gabs Nich many experiences in the three hours, a few guns were already the Armed Forces School highlight of the trip. And Arabic characters, which are not to be understood. What causes that only German inscriptions on monuments or drawings were saying, I'm just focused on me. And other little things along the way. For example, incredibly widespread signs of laughing cow , something you can not open a store here. And so one of the famous (?) Historic old town radiates into the smallest streets in the even more famous image of the cow with cheese on the ear. Is probably just as obligatory as the KAGO signs on East German garden fences - but heck, the cow is happy. And I also threw ...

Goes from yes as always with you over there, there probably were the forces of concept demo really convinced Nich. Maybe but then again sometimes make others afraid ? Greetings to all who have demonstrated to me and all snoring noses.

This is the magical event that I now had to wait a half weeks. Finally somewhere overnight and therefore are going after work just like the boat and leave it all behind me once, fine. However once it was ordered to advance a long way to run, once the busy Atlantic coast of Europe long. To see La Havre, La Coruna and Santander gabs, from the ship, of course.

After the strong storm in the German Bight we were ready for anything, as it should now go through the Bay of Biscay. "This sea area is for bad weather, strong winds and extreme sea conditions known." says Wikipedia. For me, this sea area for its glassy surface of the water and dolphins that swim their dorsal fin out of the water stretching fun through the water (although in our opposite direction) is known. Maybe I will the alarmists articles on Wikipedia adjust times.

When I come to it.

After all, even to get updated very often also experience a lot, if you take not at a computer and explore the world outside. And if you overnight. Lisbon, for example. Squeaking trams, Nobel cafes overlooking the city and alternative rock festival . And slices with things. And Ampelmännchen. And almost no one knows the band. Ninfo and bar , for example, the latter actually quite acceptable. A beautiful evening in the real world.

And stuff come soon again. Then, in Funchal, Madeira. There we lie every week from Sunday to Monday in the port, woot. Still remains just find out where the noisy scene hidden there like that, but is already. And before that I will be tomorrow for the first time in Africa, albeit briefly. Today in Cadiz, we put the evening over to Tangier / Morocco, the shore I can not let it escape.

Already. Almost unnoticed, I'm three days ago, went back to sea to sea again now to fahren.War almost predictable that my ship (!) Can not cope without me for so long coming. Ultimately, the supreme mission control after several high waves on the telephone line that connects them with me, decided to pick me up the ship in Rostock and then far on my support to the South goes, and then to circle at weekly intervals to the Canary Islands.

Two months summer vacation, a sauna on the beach, hiking in Slovenia, paddling in the lagoon, Rio Reiser in Fresenhagen, riding a motorcycle on the Baltic coast. Two months with my loved ones. And some of you so I could make in two months. And now that summer is over. Or rather, the year is over, because it go where we of course continue to summer. But the time of a free life is over again, and somehow it is unbelievable that I was, for example, only for three days in Berlin. The summer was too short. But he was nice, yeah!

Cry now, nothing helps, I'm getting back on the board everyday and am looking forward so first on the North Sea storm farewell, we pass through on their way to Hamburg today. Good waves for the steamer. It can no longer ignore the sway it shows we are at sea. And for the first time in my seafaring career, I have come back to a known vessel that has something too. Many of the familiar people, nice people, so that the work is fun again. If only the absoluteness of anBordseins would not be ... well, yeah.
