Goal of the evening: watch a movie together... yeah!
Tall man working /chatting behind his laptop
My attemps to get attention ended up in just writing notes
and sticking it on his back.....
result: none .... he just kept on working
final amount of notes: 8

I might be bored

Tall man back home
need for healthy colorful food
so flowers and leaves on bread ...Oost Indische kers is a plant that
is eatable..contains a lot of vitamin C and a natural antibiotic!
and the body does not make a immunity against it when you use too much of it!

The trip I made according to my phone

3000 kilometers in 2,5 days, 55 kilometer per hour. Traveling by taxi, boat, taxi, train, bus, train and bus to the hospital
-

-
Arrived in Hospital and placed in quarantine since we came from abroad
-

-
Lunch in Paris
-
-
In the early morning one of the coupe -colleagues offered us croissants..
I thanked him but refused
Later he offered us bottles of lemonade
When an hour later I visited the toilet I found in the hallway
boxes full with croissants and a lot of already empty ones
Someone broke open a door and plundered the kitchens´storage room
and provided the whole train section of fresh croissants an lemonade!
-

-
The couchette
Shared with a group of big dark men that made the bed for him
-
-
The hole in the lung let air through and lying down prevented that
so Quinn insisted on hanging up his hammock in the train station

Pictured from the wrong angle because if I would have taken it from
the side it would show that the small tower is leaning!

The towers of Bologna on an old picture
There used to be 180 of these towers build by rich families

Trip back to Holland with pneumathorax patient

-
Today me and the tall man leave the noisy hospital in Athens with a smile
Total hours on sea
15 hours...if something happens on the ship
we will be within 8 hours at the nearest harbour.

If not I will do the operation.
In Bologna we will meet Luke . Luke is a guy that worked a lot at Atlantisbooks inGreece (I think he lived there for two years) and is one of the founders of Kilometre Zero in Paris.
-
-
I really do not know what they want to hide on this toilet
-
-
The secret floor has been taped of
You can´t see the button...
So you can not get there...

In China many buildings do not have a 4
th floor
since the letter 4 in pronunciation
sounds the same as the word ´death´

Based on an internal review of records,
Dilip Rangnekar of
Otis Elevators estimates that
85% of the buildings with elevators
did not have a floor named the 13
th floor!


In this Greek hospital I am not sure which number they try to hide.

Walk on Thirassia
Island that is a bit like Oia dating 60 years back
No tourists and only recently the one main road got asphalted till half of the island
A school class with 7 teachers has 6 students and the goods like clothing's you buy from a car that visits the island for 4 hours
Old terasses where wine used to grow
Abandoned houses and decaying walls on abandoned places
Land gets plowed with one iron-plow and a donkey
And hunting small birds is a popular habit
It makes me smile
The hand sculpted island

we went looking for an abandoned village in one of the valleys of Thirassia
gossip was ´´A empty old village, covered with lemon-tree´s . and people haven´t been
there in years and years´´

we found the village...a few lemon tree´s indeed...lots of cacti blocking entrances of houses
some 20 houses empty.
Geraniums from the owners that left grow wildly

lunch on one of the roofs
-

-
Pumice-stone was mined on Thirassia and one of the use was in their architecture
used for making the roof because of the ability to be strong but not heavy, keeping out the heat and moist.
nowadays they just use concrete but this is a lovely example of the antique use of the pumice.

we were not aware that the thing existed on the island...but it does...and apparently they get even larger maybe 40 centimeters? They bite you at night when they got lost in your bed.

the snails have left to green plants to eat ....ow that is wrong!..
