Note from 17.09.2026

Well, what can I say? I'm in civilization. Not that I'd really left it until now, but I'm now in Kalamata, right down at the harbor at a charming little hotel. Don't worry, I'm not going to check in. I'm standing in front of it with Franky, because today there's a wonderful experience for me that comes with an ancient Greek tradition. I've been invited and have found my way here and will also spend the night here in Kalamata at the harbor. And the reveal of what it will be, I think, will come tomorrow. Because I believe it starts in half an hour. I'm now enjoying a classic Greek coffee here. I had a job interview this morning that was very interesting and exciting. And also finished my documents and already sent them off. I completed another training session with Dirk this morning. I went to the Laini spring again and supplied myself with atheistic spring water, well, not just myself, but of course also completely refilled my fresh water supply. Because from now on it's heading towards Athens. There might be one thing or another about that I can tell you. That will be decided in the next few days. Then the destination is already Crete. Everything here somehow feels pretty strange. So cars and mopeds are continuously driving past and there are quite a lot of people around here who have of course already spoken to me, which I find very amusing, because I'm not the only one on the street and yet I'm being approached. It must be because of my hat. It's pretty crazy. And what civilization means here, I'll also send you as a picture in a moment. Thanks by the way Katharina for this wonderful feedback, which I'm very happy to accept and I'm glad that this, even though we don't see each other and I feel like, I'm now in Baerbock mode, I'm hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, it still works this way. I've had very intensive conversations in the last few days with the most diverse people. I had an incredibly fantastic farewell from Agios Andreas yesterday evening, which wasn't necessarily directed at me, but which I was allowed to be part of. And I'm also waiting for pictures of that, because of course I didn't take any. Or did I? I think I took one from the terrace upstairs. Exactly, so it's about a lot, a lot of things. It's about many ideas. It's about quite a lot of social projects, whether that's humane economics, whether that's Terraplena or the ideas that Dirk still has for his journey or Katharina too. Of course it's also about me and about Frenkie. I have to see when I get around to preparing all of this for you in a way that's comprehensible. It also depends a bit on whether there will be another appointment with André at some point. There's a bit of hassle with the transfer from Telegram to the website and the website itself too. I'll hopefully clarify that with him soon. And then we'll get back into the flow and then there'll be a few things on Insta again too. I hope. And until then I wish you a beautiful smile, a fine moment in which you can pause and consciously be part of my journey. Thank you very much. Have a good time, a wonderful afternoon, peaceful and joyful moments. Until then.
