Greece - Farewell to Koroni

Saying goodbye to Koroni is difficult this time. Harder than usual. And it actually begins with our arrival. Four weeks. Only three more weeks. Only three more weeks. Two more Sunday markets. Now only one more week.

We would love to extend our time here, go into town every day, meet people, enjoy the sun on the terrace and above all: do a lot of nothing.

Almost every morning I write a little piece for our book. Will this book ever see the light of day in the publishing world? Who knows? I have enough writing crises. But I read that almost everyone who writes has one at some point. Is what I write even enough for a book?

Gerd watches a lot of ominous videos while I sit in the sun and bang away at the keys. Comes running out sadly in between: "They didn't start today!" Or cheerfully, "Now they've taken off!" In another life, he would have liked to be an aerospace engineer. Or an astronaut. And if not, then a mixture of Indiana Jones and Erich von Däniken.
I offer him our angel and tarot cards. And he says: "You know the difference between astronomy and astrology, don't you?

So, while briefly emerging from my own stories from Georgia, Turkey, Tunisia and Scotland, I learn about the undiscovered secrets of this world. Gerd now knows all about the formation of the pyramids, about special plants in the Amazon and about aliens who landed on Earth in the 70s, so much so that he wants to share his knowledge with me. Yay! I learn so many exciting things about secret physicists and their research, about exciting space systems and astrophysics.

And I briefly think about my book project. We drive along the roads in the camper and meet people here and there. Oh yes, that's great!

Nevertheless: I keep writing, dreaming myself into the past. And reflect on what we have learned from all the great encounters on our journey.

I make myself another pot of coffee "pot only outside!", let my gaze wander over the beach and the sea, stroke Mohrle and know: only two or three more days. Then it's off again. The ferry is booked. This time home is calling. A round birthday, a celebration and a reunion with our children, with the whole family and so many friends.

And, yes, that too: a break from travelling. We will be in Switzerland for two, three, maybe four months. Gerd has to-want to-work a little more for a short time. He is needed on the ground for this short time. I will see how the book is going, prepare our first travel lecture and start the training as a common good advisor in September. Because this trip has already shown one thing so far: something meaningful should come again in my life.

So we'll take it a bit easier here, just write something now and then, because we won't experience much in foreign countries. Of course, we will be on the road, meet people, hopefully have a lot of fun and live in our Felix all the time. And yet: maybe we will report a little less regularly for a few weeks or months.

You will remain loyal to us when we leave again in (late) summer, won't you?

PS: We still have our eyes on Koroni, we have already looked for houses again. So far we haven't found anything, but who knows? At some point there might be something like a home base there. It's a good thing our mamas aren't reading this. We think they still think we'll come home one day.

Merci for "travelling with us

We are thinking about taking another break from travelling in the summer and visiting our families in Germany and Switzerland. One of the ideas is to organise a Lecture about our long journey to the Persian Gulf to prepare. If you would like to, what would interest you the most? We will also tell stories here that don't find a place here on the blog. We're thinking of the Bern and Berlin area - simply because we have family there. But other places are also conceivable. Feel free to write to us.
