mid-April Carina me and Brigitte to Limon, that is brought to the port of Moin. This was no ordinary trip, but a farewell for a long time. The banana freighter HORNCLIFF the Hamburg Horn line was ready to take me on board. 16 days until I'm on the top with Del Monte bananas and pineapple-laden cargo ship spend, on the way across the Atlantic between Cuba and Haiti through to Dover, Antwerp and Hamburg. I was amazed how much luxury
such a freighter can offer its guests. Swimming pool, fitness room, table tennis room, library, TV room with an appealing video collection, 3 meals a day plus a Snacktime. I lived in a 32 m2 cabin with shower and toilet, really well decorated and comfortable.
The only Russian crew was extremely friendly and accommodating. Each time we were allowed to linger on the bridge. Everything was explained to us and we were able to visit the engine room. The
all the way across the Atlantic we were mostly great weather, and accordingly enjoy a quiet lake. Rarely the waves were higher than 6 meters. In Dover the stay filed to visit the city Canterbury and in Antwerp, we could spend an entire day to learn something about the beautiful city. As our ship in Hamburg was signed up for the dry dock, we had to anchor an entire day off Helgoland. Then the place was free, and we were allowed to enter the same high in the port of Hamburg. It was very impressive down to stand on a boat lying on dry dock and watch the whole 10 floors high. (Four floors below the water line and 6 above)
After leaving the Horn Cliff at half past eleven, I took a taxi to the Hamburg train station from which I have short Time was later able to board a direct ICE train to Zurich.
The purpose of this trip was not the pure pleasure, but the money was running out. It was agreed that I will work from May to October and again in the VBL can do and hopefully in the coming years.
In the meantime, of course, Carina was not idle. She led and still leads today a relentless battle against the weeds on our land. You are in big trouble a garden to the cabins to create and sometimes with considerable success. Although from time to time the horses trample the Hague because Karin has fine-tasting plants are so attractive in the garden.
end of May is the great Cabina finished. Now it's time for our carpenter Beno to work! The whole interior has to be completed yet, so in the winter then feel the registered guests and well.
In Costa - Rica can support us on a new small Nebenerwebsquelle. In addition to the click of the Italian Tecnimed we can now also import and distribute the company Istor Swiss Sharpener Frauenfelder for Costa - take Rica and Nicaragua.
