Greetings from Berlin,
I”m in this studio apartment in some trendy neighborhood. I know that as people don fedoras and go out of their way to look weird which sadly, makes them look normal around here. I’m a little weird to begin with so I feel right at home here. I’m here for three nights aka two more before I’m off to Africa and I’m doing as little as possible besides lying around and cooking up the odd stir-fry filled with organic vegetables.
April was absolutely mental and I’m drained; I have more energy than 99.324% of the population but my batteries are low. If you’re thinking of doing some travel, I seriously urge you to look into apartment rentals as they are the future just like wind power. Hotels are like old refineries; filthy and a blast from the past.
If I never traveled again and only ever did this one month trip; it would be enough to talk about for years. In summary it all started in the Caribbean on Little Corn Island before going to the colonial city of Granada. I saved my friend’s life there and hope he’s still alive. He’s an insane 70 year old dude so who knows how many get out of jail free cards he has left but I did my part. From there it was off to Managua before catching a flight to Miami. From Miami I made my way to London and painted the town red like a renegade throwing buckets off the sides of double-decker buses.
Following that it was off to Malta which was very cool. I’ll go back sometime and will recommend it to all of you. If you like castles, forts and the like there is probably nowhere in the world more interesting than Valletta; seriously. From there it was off to Frankfurt before catching a train to Leipzig for a conference. In 2010 I breezed through Germany but I’m loving it more and more the longer I spend in its borders. From there it was off to Berlin before a short day trip to Potsdam, backtrack to Berlin for Easter and a long old bus to Krakow, Poland.
Now I’m back in Berlin and tired; it’s time to go into full hermit mode like the cancerous crab that I am for a few days which will be hard for me but 100% necessary. I’ll be in South Africa for ~3 weeks before heading back to Little Corn Island to check on my permit status and plant some hedges as it’s rainy season. Then it’s back to Europe again as I have unfinished business in the Balkans and seriously, from June 15th – September 15th; nowhere cooler than Europe.
