Great Journey Day 628

great journey day 628 that's what you get when you travel the country without a plan. somewhere i read wa

That's what happens when you dawdle haphazardly through the countryside. Somewhere I read something about the cosy coastal towns. Well then, let's go somewhere and see if we can sit comfortably on a promenade. Observe situations and maybe drink an espresso.

You should be careful when you wish for things. They might come true. What was wrong with "cosy seaside resort"?

We arrive in Clacton-on-Sea and instead of the (we expected) tranquil pier and the (we expected) cosy beach promenade we get into total experience-and-emotion chaos.

Gerd will later say that everything, really everything, that he likes here is only present in the opposite. Noise. Rubbish. Children in amusement arcades. Here, mothers are already pushing their children in prams into the so-called fun parks, where cuddly toy machines and those "one-armed bandits" stand side by side. Smoking? Sure, allowed!

There is shouting, excitement, anger. There is betting. And music and loudspeaker announcements try to counter all the noise. When a little hunger comes up in us, we don't really find anything besides chips that a human body should eat.

We quickly hurry back to Felix, give away the second hour on the parking meter, separate ourselves energetically from this place and only when green hedges appear on the road to the right and left do we calm down. We roll away, far away.

(I tried not to take any photos of the many children's souls).
