3500km Travel - And it's Just Good to Be Back Home; Part I.a of a Travel Trilogy
We slept the last four days in four different countries; all in all we crossed 8 countries during 3500km. This all to spend 3 days in Greece, making our own olive oil. Plus another 4 days
sitting at the Greek seaside, impatiently watching our boredom grow and things getting stuck.
When we finally decided to hit the road a few days early things started rolling again.
And not just a little bit!
Everything felt like on a good acid trip as we kept slowly cruising on a long road to home.
Entering Bulgaria and crossing a mountain pass through deep red autumn forests kicked
in high & hard. Followed by a small down, passing through trash-villages all the way to the
Romanian border; and after crossing it, a sudden up: Everything is made with love and care;
colours, playfulness and a taste for living well.
Then on across Hungary, spoilt with food and friendlyness, even though it comes wrapped in a language from outer space...
Then, while starting to come down, we arrived home. It embraced us warmly with soft
autumn hues, our cat Sissi, plus three new kitties, our food and garden, our stash of
smokeables, our sofa, bed and internet.
We did realize that we are different than most of the people. As we don't work in the
sense of wage labour, we don't need holidays in the usual sense of the word.
We travel for different reasons! So we established a few guidelines for future trips:
For 'holidays' it's best to stay at home
For travel it's good to follow a project
It's not us sitting on the seaside in Greece doing fuck all
So in this post I'll start at the end; when we were so happy to arrive back home!
Our place immediately embraced us with warm autumn hues, our cat Sissi plus
three little ones, with our stash of smokables, working internet, sofa, bed and all.
A bench to enjoy the view of our slow fields.
This year's only apple!

So now that you've seen how great it can be to come home, watch out for the next posts
about making our own olive oil, the beauty of the trees, and some more pictures of trees ;)
