Africa 3 hours

Posted by on 15 Sep 2009 | Tagged as: At sea

Well that's it then, then, 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 new buildings on the beach but I watch something on NICH yes. And also 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 Teacher bin ') 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 accustomed to better persuasion by India, on the other, I need no creams or similar degree. Apart from gabs Not much experience 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 understandable, 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. 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 off just like 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 shown me and for all with nasal snoring.

Overnight

This is the magical event that I now had to wait a half weeks. Finally somewhere overnight and lie about going after work just like the boat and let 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 mirror-smooth water surface 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'm going to the killjoy article at Wikipedia adjust times.

When I get to it.

Finally, because yes to also experience a lot, even if you do not sit at the computer and explore the world outside. And when you have overnight. Lisbon, for example. Squeaking trams, Nobel cafes overlooking the city and alternative rock festival . And slices with things. And Ampelmännchen. And bands that almost nobody knows. nInfo and bar , for example, the latter even 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, juhuu. Still remains just figure out where the noisy scene hidden there like that, but is already. And before I'll be tomorrow for the first time in Africa, if only briefly. Today in Cadiz, we put the evening over to Tangier / Morocco, the country of course I can not let it escape.

Again. Almost unnoticed, I'm gone for three days at 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 phone line that connects them with me, decided to pick me up the ship at Warnemünde and then far on my support to the South goes, and then to circle at weekly intervals for the Canaries.

Two months summer vacation, a sauna on the beach, hiking in Slovenia, paddling in the lagoon, Rio Reiser in Fresenhagen, motorcycle riding 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 better, the year is over, because it naturally go where we continue to summer. But the life time of free time is over now, and somehow it is inconceivable that I was for example, only three days in Berlin. Was simply too short summer. But he was nice, yeah!

Nordsee

Cry now, nothing helps, I'm getting back on the board everyday and I'm looking about on the first North Sea storm farewell, the day we pass through on their way to Hamburg. Good waves for the steamer. It can no longer ignore, the swaying, it shows we are at sea. And for the first time in my seafaring career, I have come back to a famous ship, which also has what. Many of the familiar people, friendly colleagues, the work is fun again. If only the absoluteness of anBordseins would not be ... well, yeah.
