Iced Coffee from Kuwait...
17. Jun 2026 · Blue Gate Camp, Bulgarien · 8 min read
Yes, the coffee is precisely weighed ...on everything
And otherwise this thing here is completely ....somehow with 2,500 watt lithium-ion battery and before you know it
You can here everything, everything the fresh water and such that's a pretty crazy story...
Fahid though he's also a really cool guy... I like him, he's really funny for sure
That's why I also find his car quite funny now, because he loves Frankie and that's naturally fantastic...

Of course, the cart also has ice on board, and it's all still ground by hand, naturally. It's divided up, how many beans go in and on for each one by weight, somehow.
I wondered why this spray bottle is along. It's used to spray the filter. He's got a ritual there, which I find really cool again, of course, to ritualize it in this way. And now he's naturally making a beautiful iced coffee here for me, for him, with in the sun. Because he wants to keep going. He still wants to get to Budapest today, I think, if I understood that correctly. Annyhausen is a cool guy. I like him. And he's also making some phone calls and videos in parallel. Oh right, yeah, he's photographed the dog, he's photographed Stuart, who is a girl, or is making a video call, whatever. Exactly, update!

Okay, the day is, yes, thank you very much, just as different as all the other days have been different.
I had an idea about today yesterday, and I don't know, some of you probably can't stand hearing it anymore, but living in the moment means facing the respective demands of the moment and deciding what to do out of free will.
And since Fahid was so incredibly nice today, really a cool guy, I also talked on the phone with his friend, funny the argument on his part was that he speaks better English than him, whereupon I said in German, well, that's probably because I speak even worse, which means if someone comes along now who tops us both, it'll get really funny, and it did.
Well, Fahid first told me, yeah, here, he's just sitting here smoking a joint, he somehow had the weed with him and is driving across the border and stuff... So I put that into perspective and said, that was just a tiny crumb, that was the last joint I was able to roll and it wasn't particularly anything either, I already talked about that yesterday, whereupon they both got into a funny and relaxed argument about how many years you actually go to jail for that in Kuwait, so it started at 4, ended at 10, only if you use it.
Yeah, exactly, so short little detours there, what else did I want to tell about Fahid, oh no, I of course also asked about, sporty here, he has like a, I have a shortened version, I need to slow down, I did a shortened version of my training today, why, because Fahid absolutely wanted to invite me for his iced coffee.
I already sent you the procedure and there's already some information about it. And during the phone call with his best friend, I unfortunately forgot his name, I'm just glad I remembered Fahid, this whole sports thing comes up somehow. And I notice he took photos in between or even video, I have no idea. I asked him to please send me everything he has of me somehow. He will, he said, I'm curious, I trust him of course, obviously.
And after it's clear that I'm not going to the gym now and I'm not doing anything else on the road either, but doing my funny stretching and supplementary exercises here, he says, dude, my friend goes to the gym every day for, I have no idea, I think it'll definitely be more than 10 minutes, and shows me a picture. And as it goes, they make their faces unrecognizable. Pretty funny picture, like what he put up there on his head, well above it. But the body, that's, hey, chiseled, completely, totally insane. It looks like a Greek statue of an elephant, no, nonsense, stupid, Adonis was his name, I know that.
Exactly, and we had really relaxed little moments that also involved chocolate. It was about what's happening out there in the world. He of course also showed me that in Saudi Arabia, in Kuwait, in Qatar, so everywhere on the Arabian Peninsula, these motorhomes that are screwed onto SUVs, piggyback, that they totally work there. And then showed me stuff like inside and I just said to him, yeah, that's all right and nice and probably functional too and will probably work better than with Frankie and me. But that's without soul. That's plastic, those are plastic bombers. And he's standing with me in Frankie and is totally thrilled and says, this is old school. And I'm like, yeah, that's totally old school, that was a moment like that for example.
And by the way, the cows haven't come back to the pasture yet.
And he tells me, because of course he wanted to know what I do and he told me that. I said, I do digital here, remote, I'm like a sales type and a few details, like project-based, just a brief outline of my professional existence. And he sits in front of me and says, oh shit, I'm only in public service. I'm employed by Kuwait. So he's a civil servant, so to speak. What I find really cool though, he only talked about it briefly. He arrived here last night, rolled out his prayer mat here in the morning, prayed briefly, made coffee with me, talked, so an hour. And then he was gone. And on the back of his trunk it says, @ whatever, at the end, obviously. But what I could gather from it was, or is, from Qatar through Europe. And he told me all about it too. So, I mean, he's got Budapest on his radar somehow. And he wants to go to Croatia and he wants to go to Bosnia too. And he's also got Austria somehow. And he'll still be in Interlaken. And he'll visit Germany. And then he wants to go to Italy. And I have no idea, dude, what he's doing. I think it's two, three months, if I understood correctly.
Where just him and his converted mega Nissan SUV V8 with all kinds of stuff in it, will be on the road. Crazy. Anyway.
I think he'll also go to a hotel now and then...LAUGH.... Because he somehow came here from his dog round, well from paying, and then somehow played with the dogs. And his white Nike was somehow a bit grubby because the dogs jumped on him. And he said he fought with it, with a big, fat grin. So he's a funny guy. And he had to change the Nike. He also explained to me at length why. Found that very interesting.
When I think about how long I sometimes wear my clothes here. Like they have to be noticeable to me, that they smell, for me to change them.
I like my smell. That's okay. Exactly.
Because of this, my day has completely, not really moved away from the original idea yet, just adjusted in its structure.
I haven't even had breakfast yet. It's already, I don't know, quarter to eleven or eleven or something. That means, if this works out now, I'll talk on the phone with my friend Manol. And Remo had already been in touch. I've now given him another ping in case he still has time, I'd talk to him too. Then I'd have breakfast, because then it's already lunchtime.
And after that I'll put on my hiking boots. Chop myself to the hair and hit the road. And then you're gone. Then you're gone.

My dear ones, I'm not reaching out now on my own behalf, but because Manol told me the story of his mama.
I think this concerns all of you.
If you see any possibility of coming around the corner with alternative medical suggestions, then that would be super wonderful.
Of course I'm thinking primarily of Rieke and Katharina and I believe Tine is also still on board. Who else is there among you who are active in those areas? I think Daniela is also still on board. So please have a look, if something comes to mind for you. The diagnosis of his ma, who is suffering from very severe pain, is a chronic pelvic kidney inflammation with accompanying partial urinary tract infections.
And I would be happy if one or another, in relation to this request for help, is able to have a supportive effect with good ideas. It would be cool to somehow help the old woman, parallel to this madness of the antibiotic thing, with pain-relieving teas, to, I have no idea, alternating baths, ..... So some kind of natural applications, to reduce the existing suffering and perhaps even contribute to a general recovery.
Thank you. 🙏
Big hugs.😊
