Day No. 94 - Discover the world

Today we are not awakened by the sun, but by a few Spaniards who have arrived overnight and parked right next to us. We are still a little tired, because we have sat also yesterday still long at our campfire, on the beach.

I decide to go for a swim first. The water is wonderfully refreshing. I have to realize once again that I am the only one who dares to go into the water here. So far I have never seen a swimmer here. Yes, it's really not warm, but it's wonderfully refreshing. And the outdoor shower also feels a little warmer afterwards.

Strengthened by coffee and breakfast, I devote the rest of the morning to our landlord. - Not that there is much to be happy about, but we have been discussing an unrepaired water damage since April. - In the meantime, our landlord has gotten into the habit of responding only on Friday afternoons. The motto is, maybe someone will respond over the weekend. Sometimes it's hard to leave out all the emotions and respond purely factually.

Torgit made a more meaningful start to the day. Suddenly she disappeared with her yoga mat in the direction of the beach. When she returns, she is beaming. She found a wooden platform right on the beach, which seemed to offer ideal conditions. But only when she describes that this would have been the most beautiful yoga place, perhaps with the exception of a yoga class in Sri Lanka, I realize that I would have been better off pulling out a camera instead of getting angry with my landlord. Because, when Torgit talks about Sri Lanka, she always goes into raptures. So this must have been a very special spot.

But not only Torgit is enthusiastic. The combination of sun, sea, long sandy beach, not too hot and not too cold, has something.

The configuration for our project Spector, Hector's successor is complete. However, we will certainly still be adding little things here. Because this project will take on an even higher significance for us. Because we have made another decision. We will give up our apartment next year, throw off some more ballast, that is, sell some furniture and store the rest. Spector will become our new home. So the adventure continues.

But in the afternoon we first go to the hammock. We read a book and chat with our new neighbor. Etienne is only 23 and drives an old Land Rover Discovery. - It would be totally great, especially because it could practically never get stuck.

I have to smile a little, because it is the right of youth to believe such things. I was also once 23 years young, I also drove a Land Rover Discovery and I also thought, you could not actually drive this firmly. But as it is with the word actually so, my brother Dirk has taught me better, one (s) can ,-).

With this maneuver we triggered a kind of chain reaction, as a result of which a Peugeot flatbed truck, an old Magirus-Deutz dump truck and finally a Mercedes Arctos got stuck. If it hadn't been for a salvage company we were friends with, we would have been digging for a long time. - Nevertheless, I am more reassured since Etienne is standing next to us, he will be able to pull us out safely in case of doubt.

So we still talk a little gasoline. Since I have driven a Defender in addition to two Discovery, I can contribute a little to the topic.

In the evening we sit around the campfire again. Today with a wine merchant who specializes in wines from the Middle Rhine and Ahr region. An exciting conclusion from the day, because Benjamin has now strongly oriented his trade in the direction of online. - Exciting to hear how his chance in life took place.
