Vupti- who should terminate this Odyssey?

*Dansk version findes længere nede i teksten

I don’t see it myself able to do so! Right now, it’s turmoil in my head. However, there was also quite a lot of water, from Varbjerg Beach, where I almost every summer evening bicycled out to swim, to all the beaches of the world and rivers and seas, by which I/we have lived near and sailed on. Largest has been my dearest, the PACIFIC OCEAN.

Just as every journey starts with the first step, here towards Thailand, my/our other Homeland, I must give a bid, at the last step back home through the arrival of Kastrup Airport?

Here comes my bid. I will like to send as a loving thought to all of you who have been there for me. My family, friends in jobs or in leisure (Fuu, Nhuan, Pattarin, Peter, nurses in Kufa and at Bangkok International, and many others I have crossed roads with).

Friends from this trip (Mach in BKK, Scott and Jennifer and her family, Jason, who stopped his truck and picked me up in Australia’s harsh interior, Rico and his father Raul in Santiago, our family in Brazil Anette, Andrea and Thomas).

Some are directly related to bringing me Home (Karen, Louise and her crew, my brother Aksel, who is always there for me, Gitte H. as a role model). Aksel’s speech to my 80 anniversary holds everything.

At the end Klaus Dohm, in today’s article in the Jutland Post, made fine use some of what I look back on. By “the ground level to stick” is a good idea. With Gitte H., I would like to start a new explorers club: -The Walkers! Rucksack gives access to so much valuable time with young people out exploring, which as well can be at Sea Level, as high up in mountains.

Life has no expiration date, but here must be connected. Perhaps I could write more in a book that would then be called: -an Eye in the Sky! For me, the greatest of all is love. I shall not hide that I am believer. Therefore, I also started the journey by having a Christianity blessing:Go with PEACE!

Thanks to everyone!

From Svend Aage

Vupti – Hvem skal så slutte denne Odyssé?

Jeg selv ser det ikke. Lige nu er det turmoil oven i hovedet. Der var dog også ganske meget vand, fra Varbjerg strand, hvor jeg næsten hver sommeraften cyklede ud at svømme, til al Verdens strande og have floder og have, ved hvilke, jeg/vi har boet og sejlet. Størst har dog været STILLEHAVET.

Lige som enhver rejse starter med det første skridt, her vendt mod Thailand, mit/vort andet Fædreland, må jeg dog give et bud, på det sidste skridt hjemme igen ud gennem ankomst Kastrup.

Her kommer så mit bud. Det vil jeg gerne, som en kærlig tanke til alle de, der har været der. Mine i slægt og familie, venner i job eller i fritid (Fuu, Nhuan, Pattarin, Peter, sygeplejersker i Kufa og på Bangkok International, og mange andre, jeg har krydset veje med).

Venner fra denne rejse (Mach i BKK, Jennifer og hendes slægt, Jason, der stoppede sin lastbil og samlede mig op i Australiens barske indre, Scott, Rico og far Raul i Santiago, vores slægt i Brazil Anette, Andrea og Thomas).

Nogle har direkte relation til at bringe mig hjem (Karen, Louise og hendes crew, min bror Aksel, som er der altid er der for mig, Gitte H. som rollemodel). Hans tale til min 80 årsdag rummer alt.

På det sidste har Klaus Dohm i en rummelig artikel i Jyllands Posten gjort fint brug noget af det, jeg ser tilbage på. Ved Jorden at blive er en god ide’. Med Gitte H. vil jeg gerne starte en ny eksplorer klub: -the walkers! Ryksæk giver adgang til så meget dejligt liv med unge mennesker på opdagelse.

Livet har ingen udløbsdato, men her skal der sluttes. Måske kunne jeg skrive mere i en bog, som så skulle hedde: Et Øje i det Høje! For mig, er de t største af alt Kærligheden! og jeg skal ikke skjule, at jeg er troende!

Tak til alle!

Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Pet farm

*Dansk version findes længere nede i teksten.

It is a gloriously sunny Friday from early morning and then coming home on a Saturday.

After a pizza party around the large stone oven, a photo ride through our host’s (my family) Pet Zoo is to be completed today. Then the long two parted flight via Lisbon to Europe up across the equator. The around the Earth ring. with its eight stays must be tied!

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? Yes, THE World is bigger than so, and good powers are bubbling in many places, so the Future will be OK, although the nearest part might be a bit tough?

H. Kahn (Hudson Institute) believed that man can be strange, but that he will always retract right before self-destruction! He also thought, that we should preferably be many on our Globe, so that market mechanism can bring together capital for rapid model development? (Nokia was an example with new mobile phone models all the time).

The South America continent has been great to visit, now with Karen, and not just as an exclusive loner, the last bit home, only saw three of its points (Chile, Peru and Brazil). Endless experiences are freely available for travel, hiking, climbing or cycling experiences west of the Andes, up on plateaus and so here at east. The continent is so enormous. In Santiago, there will be some 3,000 km to the south to Patagonia and correspondingly up against the Middle-America. South America, incidentally, is not at right below North America, but a little to the right.

My journey has, what readiness for knowledge revealed, that there cannot be enough to address if you are to be good at people, time zones, distances, nature, climates, etc. Most breathtaking is still the PACIFIC OCEAN, which I once lived two years in the middle of. At all places, its waves rolls up to 2 km of stripes quietly against its beaches.

In order to look at computerization, unfortunately or fortunately, we must first know that it exists. Postcards are unfortunately not available anymore, and with them disappeared philately. Bangkok, which under Rama 9, (king “Rubber Ball”) had the most beautiful stamps in constant new releases, now has electronic post offices. Ah Yes! Where is it going to end? Are the zombies coming? I don’t believe SO.

Museums, have not been visited much. Instead, each stop has given live experiences. Caps with first names in the forehead, spread like steppe fire. Handshake with “high Five”, amigo greetings and visibility in the street image get smiles everywhere. Now you have to go down Østerbrogade (even boring in most seasons and so here in November a month before mid-winter), but fun has it been and mountains of good pictures will, from each of the stays, show this. A nice JOURNEY is finding its good ending. The dull days?, in a completely different climate than here, calls.

Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil. Pet farmen

Det er en herlig, solrig fredag fra tidlig morgen, og så hjemme på en lørdag. Efter en pizzafest rundt om den store stenovn skal der i dag sluttes med en fototur gennem vore værters (min familie) Pet Zoo. Så den lange to-delte tur via Lissabon til Europa op over Ækvator. Jorden Rundt-ringen med dens otte ophold skal sluttes.

What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? Jo, VERDEN er større end som så, og gode kræfter bobler mange steder, så det skal nok gå, om end den nære tid kan blive hård.

H. Kahn (Hudson Institute) mente, at menneskene godt kan være sære, men at de altid vil trække sig tilbage lige før afgrunden! Han mente også, at vi helst skal være mange på vores Jord, for at markedsmekanismer kan samle kapital til hurtig modeludvikling? (Nokia var et eksempel med nye mobil tlf. modeller hele tiden).

Syd-amerika kontinentet har været dejligt at besøge, selvom jeg, nu med Karen og ikke blot alenerejsende, kun har snuset til tre af dets punkter (Chile, Peru og Brazil). Der ligger uendelige oplevelser frit tilgængeligt for rejse-, vandre-, klatre- eller cykeloplevelser vest for Andesbjergene, oppe på plateauer og så her ovre øst på. Kontinentet er så langt. I Santiago, vil der være 3.000 km mod syd til Patagonien og tilsvarende op imod Mellem-amerika. Syd-amerika ligger forøvrigt slet ikke lige under Nord-amerika, men lidt ude til højre.

Min rejse har hvad paratviden angår afsløret, at der er nok at tage fat på, hvis man skal være god til folk, tidszoner, afstande, natur, klima osv. Mest betagende er stadigvæk STILLEHAVET (45 % af vor Jords overflade, som jeg engang boede to år midt i). At stå 100 m. oppe og skue langt er en lise for sjælen. Skønheden så stor, at det kalder tårer frem. Lad os behandle fisk, hvaler osv. skånsomt. Alle steder ruller dets bølger i op til 2 km lange striber roligt ind imod dets strande.

For at slå noget op på edb, skal man jo desværre eller heldigvis først vide, at det eksisterer. Postkort er desværre nu ikke at få mere, og dermed forsvandt filateli. Bangkok, der under Rama 9, (kong ”gummibold”), havde de flotteste frimærker i konstante nye udgivelser, har nu elektroniske posthuse. Ak ja! Hvor skal det ende? Kommer Zombierne? DET tror jeg ikke på. Det er nu alligevel sådan, at vi lige nu blot er at finde bag skærme? Lad os da besøge hinanden og røre ved hinanden.

Museer, er det ikke blevet meget til. Hvert stop har i stedet givet levende oplevelser.

Kasketter med fornavne i panden, fænger som steppebrand. Håndtryk med ”high five”, amigo hilsener og synlighed i gadebilledet får smil frem overalt. Nu skal der geares ned (Østerbrogade er jo jævnt kedelig på de fleste årstider og så her en måned før mid-vinter), men sjovt har det været, og bjerge af gode billeder vil i hvert af opholdene vise dette.

En dejlig REJSE er ved at finde sin gode afslutning. Hverdagene, i et helt andet klima end her, kalder.

3.rd family visit from DK 17 – 22-Nov. 2019

The journey has reached its last station. Traveling down from Lima, Peru to Andrea and Thomas in Sau Paulo is almost like making the tour’s final step, which is home to DK in a week’s time. Due to Lima theft of hardback with passport, camera etc., I had to postphone departure from there (visit to DK consulate for temp. passport needed to enter next country), and Karen and I then came on the same night flight two days later.

Grand cousin Thomas was at GRU Airport, when we landed. First the most beautiful airport after the Olympics a few years ago, so great road outside the ring road, which otherwise makes driving into Sau Paulo from outside difficult, the more than 50 km for this “farm”. We were warmly welcomed by our nice family, who keep families bonds together.

After breakfast a walk the Pet Zoo around to see all the animals and new things. Mondays have no guests, but otherwise comes school classes and at weekend parents with children. Now it’s a little bit after hard days. Then the BLOC must be finely polished before named FINAL. One of us (Svend and Karen) sleeps at a horse hotel 1/2 km away, as Andrea’s father Elias, 87, sleeps here too. Being in need of care.

The “farm” is a colorful place everywhere and after breakfast and now lunch, we have used the time to stroll through the areas of animals of all kinds and enjoying painted wall surfaces with animal motifs. Everything creative, idyllic and genius. This is written in the private part of their entreprises. Andrea operates Accounts and Cafeteria, Thomas the Zoo itself (see www.ciadosbochos.com.br). Both with 15 employees each.

The five remaining days of the project; “An eighty years old last Round the World Voyage“, in addition to getting to know the SP (Saopaulo) in principle, will be used to prepare a final interview with Louise, DR life-style expert. There is a great deal of choices for me to make, but Louise and her Camera colleagues have shown strong positions, and I have tried from Bangkok over Queensland to Santiago to live up to Louise’s strict demands for authenticity, as good as I can. The fine experience eg with friends, at Backpacker hostel etc, and through the tireless efforts of camera colleagues, I can only be happy. No one has yet perished from hard, professional work, as I recall.

A picture draws, that we find ourselves in a lax period of quality, where nations all need to see themselves in the mirror and get their finger out. Many a taste can be explained, only not the most relaxed . Let us raise the bars, all of them?

Sao Paulo, Brazil

Pet farmen – http://www.ciadosbichos.com.br/

Tiden løber. Fem dage tilbage af 55. En strækning ud af otte! Herlige at være på vej tilbage til Hjemmet? Ja, men endnu bedre at skrive om en dejlig REJSE, og at sidde her ved morgenkaffe hos Andrea & Thomas i deres børne Zoo i Sao Paulos udkant med skoleklasser ude i gang med at lære om dyr.

Nu kan jeg med glæde overse, HVAD det var, jeg gjorde. I dag skal vi med Thomas og søster Annette ind at opleve Byen, i morgen kommer familiens gode ven Marcello til at hygge om os. Os er Karen, min vidunderlige rejsekammerat, som i nat har sovet på et fint og flot rideskolehotel ude i skoven vel en km væk. Jeg her hos familien. En dejlig fordeling. Vi kan familiekramme og Karen hvile.

På den måde generes de kræfter igen, som var ved at være næsten væk. Batteriet var vist fladt?

For sammen at kunne slutte med en flot BLOC, itsmesvend, kom Karen ud fra København til Santiago, Chile for at følges ad de sidste tre stræk hjem. I Santiago var også Louise og Egon fra TV (tidligere Bangkok og Queensland). Selvom de arbejde i døgndrift, tror jeg vi alle fire ”labbede” et ekstraordinært fredfyldt gammelt backpacker Hostel ”Happy Hostel Hotel” i os, samt nød Chiles store og flotte (imposante) hovedstad med Andes bjergene bag sig. En åben by, men med folkevrede og oprør lige om hjørnet?

Karen er ikke direkte med inde i TV’s ”Firs årig går Jorden rundt” , men det støtter, når vi sammen oplever og kan tale om, at Vorherre nu og da redder en igennem situationer (er sket 5-6 gange).. Desuden er jeg slet ikke endnu med i, at raffinere BLOC’en, blot at skrive oplæg, men jeg må se at komme med i færdiggørelse. Nu da er mit fotoapparat også stjålet er Karens mobil så ved at sprænges, idet hun tager tonsvis af billeder.

Tilbage til emnet. Efter, at have været ked af det eller tom indvendig nogle dage, er jeg klar til at leve videre. Karen og, Andrea begge alle gode gamle fædre, som jeg så er i samme båd med. Morgenmaden står på bordet, og en ny dag er forude!

Skal man rejse Jorden rundt gennem otte lande? Nej, kun hvis man ikke kan lade være. (husk forsikringer). Det er Yesterday, today and tomorrow! Hårdt som ”alene i Vildmarken”, kun klimaet kan være mildere. Resten er “same, same“. Hård kamp med hygiejne, tøjvask, slæb. Jeg har engang prøvet ø-kuller!

-fortsat 20. Frokost med venner i Andrea’s cafeteria, serveret af kokkene. Haven fuld af familier med børn. Vi skulle ellers i gang med ”kontordrift”, med facebook, BLOC og e-mails. Heldigvis er Karen som professionel lynhurtig på tasterne/programmerne. En hård ting er at søge i tonsvis af billeder efter de bedste til at understøtte emner og tekster. Embu, kendt kunstnersted fra sidste gang, er en af SP regionens første byer og værd at gå rundt i. Thomas vil stille chauffør i udsigt.

Fredag 17:45 er der afgang mod Europa for mig. Karen med British Airways mandag, 2 dage senere.

PS: Sidste station her i store, dejlige, fredelige omgivelser (50 etagers SP City som baggrund) er en lise for sjælen på vej mod Kastrup. Rejsen sættes i et roligt perspektiv, selvom rygsækken skal på nakken endnu en gang. Vi gjorde den sidste tur over op over ækvator med 5 timers mellemlanding i Lissabon for blot 2 ½ år siden.

Lima – Peru

13. – 17. November 2019

*Dansk version findes længere nede i teksten.

It had been optimistic to travel between Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru by bus in a few days, so we decided by plane to arrive a day earlier to Lima i.e. a total of three nights there. The first day was on a cliff-top BP (Back Pack’er place) Alpes in Miraflores by the Sea. Again nice. Went to eat pancakes high above the Pacific Ocean. Then two nights at La Quinta le Amas just by a bridge over to the city center.

Unfortunately, I got stolen my shoulder bag during lunch. The place could find the thief on their surveillance camera. We went to the police and in a patrol car on to the tourist police (passport, camera etc. “gone” with the bag). Took three hours. Agreement with the Danish consulate on an emergency passport the next morning before my Sao Paulo flight at 13:00. Well arrived at the airport, the plane to Thomas in Sao Paulo had gone. I had forgotten to take note of a change. They gave me, even if “no show up” status, place on a night connection two days later on “Karen’s plane with ETA 06:35, where Thomas will stand to pick us up

Back in Miraflores at BP Che lagarte, work can then continue work on BLOC etc.

Have today taken an open sightseeing bus tour around the city. Karen photographed settlements far up the mountain behind the city. Also walked in catacombs. Lima is a large city with many colors. The Rest of the Sunday afternoon to 19:00, where we take the airport for the night flight, is again at the PCs

Karen has made significant improvements to the Bloc itsmesvend, the rest to follow when in Brazil. New menu point is PRESS as the bloc spreads to the Newspaper mentionings, now in Australia. Wonderful!

In the city, there was a party parade and party dancing in great style. Lima with colorful buildings is OK, poverty here and there plus theft despite.

Lima – Peru

13. – 17. november 2019

Det havde været optimistisk, at rejse mellem Santiago, Chile og Lima, Peru med bus på få dage, så vi besluttede med fly at ankomme en dag tidligere til Lima dvs i alt tre nætter der. Første dag var på et mondænt BP (back packer sted), Alpes herude i Miraflores ved Havet. Igen dejligt. Gik til pandekager højt over STILLEHAVET. så to nætter på La Quinta le Amas lige ved en bro over til City Desværre fik jeg stjålet min skuldertaske under frokost. Stedet kunne finde tyv på deres film. Vi gik til Politi og i patruljevogn til Tourist Police (Pas, Camera etc. ”gone”´med tasken). Tog tre timer. Aftale med Dansk Konsulat om midlertidig pas inden fly kl. 13 næste dag.

Vel ankommet lufthavn, var flyet til Thomas i Sao Paulo gået. Jeg havde tid tilbage glemt at notere mig ændring. Man skaffede mig, selv om ”no show up” status, plads på Karens natfly med ETA 06:35 to dage senere, hvor Thomas vil stå at samle os op. Tilbage i Miraflores på BP Che Lagarte vil der nu arbejdes videre på BLOC mm.

Har i dag taget en open sightseeing Bustur City rundt. Karen fotograferede bebyggelser langt op af bjerget bag Byen. Også i katakomber. Lima er en stor by med mange farver. Resten af søndag eftermiddagen til kl. 19, hvor vi tager i lufthavn for natfly, er igen ved PC’erne.

Karen har lavet væsentlige forbedringer af BLOCen itsmesvend, resten følger når i Brasilien. Et nyt menupunkt er ”PRESS” idet BLOC’en spreder sig til omtale i nu aviser i Australien. Herligt!

I City var der festparade og festdans i stor stil. Lima med farverige bygninger er OK, fattigdom her og der plus tyveri til trods.

REVOLUTION, Santiago, Chile

*Dansk findes version længere nede i teksten.

It hurts, to see a country with police and even soldiers everywhere. Think to stand guard AGAINST one’s own. (13 civilians had been shot!). All of South America will stand in flames one day soon until the last criminal ruler is gone, and leaders sent out of their countries. Pensions are stolen from “the elders” by their small parts of the cake falling and falling. They do not have the means for food and clothing and stay at home in their apartments, I believe? The money ends up instead in the foreign country of Switzerland or elsewhere. Shame be upon these criminal leaders. Shame, to shoot their own! And having blood on their hands.

Denmark’s Constitution § 44? says: Censorship is illegal by law and can never be reintroduced again

Someone in Copenhagen still took the flag from Tibetans when the Chinese visited Copenhagen? Why?

REVOLUTION, Santiago, Chile

Det gør ondt, at se et land med politi og vel soldater alle vegne. Tænk at skulle stå vagt MOD sine egne. Hele Sydamerika vil stå i flammer en dag indtil sidste kriminelle styrer er fjernet, og leder sendt ud af deres lande. Pensioner stjæles fra ”de gamle” ved at deres små dele af kagen falder og falder. De gamle har så ikke midler til mad og klæder og bliver hjemme i deres lejligheder, tro jeg?

Pengene ender i stedet i Schweiz eller andet steds udenlands. Shame be upon those criminal leaders!, Tænk sig, at skyde sine egne!

Danmarks Grundlov § 44? lyder: Censur er ulovligt og kan ingensinde igen genindføres!

Nogen tog alligevel flaget fra tibetanere, da kineserne besøgte københavn. Hvorfor?

CHILE, SANTIAGO lovely days in South America

*Dansk version længere nede i teksten.Chile was a nice big and beautiful country. Santiago well among the World’s most beautiful capital and that for several reasons. Located up against the surrounding mountains. 120 KM in from the PACIFIC OCEAN, there is the port city of Valparaiso, which is reached through three stages plateaus and tunnels bringing one down to the large, Pacific Ocean. The city is open with wide roads and in the middle large square with elegance and large landscaped.

We: me, Karen Kyed and Louise and Egon (DR2 TV team) arrived from various directions to a city with 13 victims of demonstrations a few weeks before. There had been a curfew and the citizens were and are furious. Against us smiling and friendly, but South America is in for being put on fire everywhere?

Each of us found the backpacker Hotel HAPPY HOSTEL which then with all its good sides, became our home for 6 days. A large, old patrician’s house had everything. Tranquility and peace with outdoor space on the front house floors, garden rooms and at the bottom end of a big, tranquil garden bar, 1st-floor rooms and Pool. Louise reached, after three/four days of struggle for THAT everything should be authentic, 1/2 an hour pool and sun, before a long flight home. Three amazing recording sequences with Australia footage the hardest were plugged.

Now we all will see the results in mid-December? We, 40 guests did not take up much room at the time, and then got to know each other quickly. Permanent staff was nice and backpackers, with five hours service five days of the week, very participating after “working time”. Lots of BBQ with or without potatoes and. Argentinian beef marinated smelted on the tongue. Nice extreme cheap Chilewine, better than we get it in DK. Many empty bottles the morning thereafter but only slightly hangover.

Kindness Received:Camijo (Friend of Antonio at home) came and helped us to skip the bus ride along the Pacific Ocean to Lima (3,400 km) and then fly one day earlier for a total of three days in Lima. Nicko, so dynamics were there day and night. We united his and father’s disagreement about “revolution”, and RAUL drove us around and again to the airport. Nice and safe with having your own driver when missing the language (here Spanish). Klaus on bicycle South America along was nice to meet. We were three on six man’s living room with him (girls and boys). After hard days for me in the upper bunk,among others during TV recordings, it was nice to get the under the bunk. Karen was our third party having up to then dealtwith two German men. It’s usually nice togetherness in a hostel.

With TV team III I visited the port city, a much poorer population, but only a single one was complaining about our photography, and great pictures were taken in the surf from an ALWAYS lovely Pacific Ocean.

CHILE, SANTIAGO – Dejlige dage i sydamerika

Chile var og er et dejligt stort og smukt land. Santiago vel blandt Verdens smukkeste og det af flere grund. Beliggende op imod omkransende bjerge. 120 km inde fra SILLEHAVET. Der er havnebyen Valparaiso, som nås gennem tre etaper store daler og tunneller der bringer en ned til det store, STILLEHAV. Byen er åben med brede veje og i midten stor plads med elegance og stort anlagt.

Vi ankom allevegne fra til en by med 13 ofre for demonstrationer et par uger før. Der havde været udgangsforbud og borgerne var og er rasende. Mod os smilende og venlige, men Sydamerika er vist ved at blive sat i brand overalt?

Vi fandt backpackerhotellet HAPPY HOSTEL, som så med alle sine gode sider blev vores hjem i 6 dage. Et stort, gammelt patricierhus havde alt. Ro og fred med uderum på forhusets etager, haverum og nederst i en stor stille have bar, 1.sal rum og Pool. Louise, nåede efter tre /fire dages kamp for, at ALT skal være autentisk ½ times pool og sol, inden en lang flyvetur hjem. Tre fantastiske optegnelses sekvenser, med Australien optagelser som vel hårdeste, var sluttet. Nu ser vi alle resultaterne midt i december?

Vi 40 skifte nsegæster fyldte ikke meget og mange lærte hinanden at kende hurtigt. Faste stab var søde og backpacker med fem timers tjeneste fem dage i ugen, meget deltagende efter ”arbejdstid”. Masser af grill med eller uden kartofler. Argentinsk oksekød marineret og smeltende på tungen. Dejlig Chile rødvin, bedre end vi får den i DK. Mange tomme flasker morgenen efter men kun let tømmermænd.

Venlighed modtaget: Camijo” (ven af Antonio hjemme) kom og hjalp os med, at springe bustur langs STILLEHAV til Lima (3.400 km) over og så fly en dag før til i alt tre dage i Lima. Nicko’s dynamik var der dag og nat. Vi forenede hans og faderens uenighed om ”revolution”, og RAUL kørte os rundt og i lufthavn. Dejligt og trygt med egen chauffør, når man mangler sproget (her spansk).. Klaus på cykel Sydamerika på langs var rar at møde. Vi var tre på seksmandsstue med ham.

Efter hårde dage for mig i overkøje bl.a. under TV-optagelser, var det rart at få underkøje. Karen var tredjemand og havde indtil da boet med to tyske men. Man har det oftest dejligt sammen på et hostel.

Med TV hold besøgte jeg havnebyen, En meget fattigere befolkning, men kun en enkelt brokkede sig over vor fotografering, og der blev taget fantastiske billeder i brændingen fra et altid dejligt STILLEHAV.

Far Away part óf CHILE – Isla de Pascau, Easter Island

Rapa Nui and Honga Roa*Dansk version findes længere nede i teksten.

This small Lava Island is located entirely for itself, and without sand bays, almost. (one on the north side), and there is only one sailboat anchored far out. Here, distances are calculated in 4 aircraft hours at a time, 4 hours to the mainChile, do. to Tahiti, 2 x 4hrsT. to NZ, 3 x 4 hrs. to Australia, 4 x 4 hrs. to Bali etc.

The airport has a 5.5 km long runway, built by America for the possible space ferries emergency landing on the southern Earth hemisphere.

I was well after a restless night in NZ, and suddenly five hours are lost between Tahiti and here. Villa Tiki’s owner was in the Airport with a name board and a Bougainville flower neckless (LEI). We got a cup of coffee in her tropical garden that surrounds her house. Large room. Spacious, primitive but delightfully quiet. Except for the gallant cocks.

Have this evening eaten Calmers down at the North end of Port. Fine Sunset after a rainy day. A nice environment, but maybe deserted parts of the year? Everything is lava. Tomorrow, rucksack must be emptied for the first time in five weeks.

-continued 06 Nov. .

Have seen in a single day what I came for as well as the atmosphere of the people. Everyone is smiling and helpful. Especially colorful is the large cemetery. The Pacific Ocean is so nice out there on the Horizon. It’s a bit of a thing that all things have come and come from 4,000 km away and transhipped from out there in barges!

Compounds are generally large, and my hostess has, for example, more than 100 chickens and cocks. Bees too. Very Nice. The gents go to all her descendants. She has seven rooms here plus the private to a son and her. She tells that the weather on the island is either sun or rain, quiet or windy.

Fell inside with woodcarving Luis Thomas Pate Riroroco, who carves absolutely wonderful with exhibition e.g. at Bishop’s Museum, Honolulu, walked to Museum was long and hard. Post Office and then Barber, who removed the beard from Australia,s “Outback”.

After the two, each in a certain violent country (Aus & NZ), I have now come to a silent realization of Existentialism. That was what I was looking for, so now the rest of the travel/project is once again clean tourism, and I will look forward to sharing the rest of my life with my family in a fine, quiet harmony. (-being MORTAL). I have EXPERIENCED so much in my eighty years. From poverty to “the waxed floors!”

The day I get home, Sarah’s mother and father will celebrate her 18^th.-year day down in K. A. S. Sailing Club. The first grandson, the frontrunner, has left Childhood. She got her driver’s license, and will now roam the streets.

PS: my host was successful, she lifted AN EXTRA 5$ out of my pocket. Her car was suddenly to be used by the son, and the 100 m to the airport did not cost 3 as to the city, but suddenly 5$. Now it was an important trip. Alas, yes. Tourists are like cattle. Here are lots of “retired” couples out on the “venture”. Definitely 60 +.

UDKANT CHILE – Isla de Pascau, Påskeøen

Rapa Nui og Honga Roa Denne lille Lava ø ligger helt for sig selv, og uden sandbugter, næsten. (en på nordsiden), og der ligger så kun én sejlbåd ankret langt ude. Her regnes afstande i 4 stk. flytimer ad gangen, 4 timer til hovedlandet Chile, do. til Tahiti, 2 x 2 t. til NZ, 3 X 4 t. til Australien, 4 x 4 t. til Bali osv. Lufthavnen har en 5,5 km lang landingsbane, bygget af Amerika for evt. at kunne nødlande Rumfærger på den Sydlige Jordkugle.

Jeg var godt træt efter urolig nat i NZ, og pludselig er fem timer tabt mellem Tahiti og her. Villa Tiki’s ejer var i lufthavnen med et navneskilt og en blomsterkrans (lei). Vi fik en kop kaffe i den tropehave, der omgiver hendes hus. Stort værelse. Rummeligt, primitivt men dejligt stille. Bortset fra galende haner.

Har her til aften spist Calmares nede for nordende af havn. Fin solnedgang efter regndag. Et dejligt miljø, men nok øde dele af året? Alt er lava. I morgen skal bagage endevendes for første gang i fem uger.

-fortsat 06 nov.. Har på en enkelt dag set, hvad jeg kom for samt indsnuset folkestemning. Alle er smilende og hjælpsomme. Specielt farverig er den store kirkegård. Stillehavet er så flot derude i horisonten. Det er lidt mærkeligt, at alle ting er kommet og kommer fra 4.000 km væk og omlades derude på reden i pramme!.

Parceller er generelt store, og min værtinde har f. eks mere end 100 høns og haner. Bier også. Hyggeligt. æggene går til alle hendes efterkommere. Hun har syv værelser her plus privaten til en søn og hende. Hun fortæller, at vejret er enten sol eller regn, stille eller blæsende.

Faldt indenfor hos træskærer Luis Thomas Pate Riroroco,, der skærer helt vidunderlig med udstilling f.eks Bishop’s Museum, Honolulu, Gåtur til Museum var lang og hård. Posthus og så barber, der fjernede skægget fra Australien,s ”Outback”.

Efter de to på hver sin vis voldsomme lande, er jeg nu nået til en stille erkendelse af Existentialisme.

Det var det, jeg søgte, så nu er resten af rejse/ PROJEKTET igen ren turisme, og jeg vil glæde mig til at dele RESTEN af mit liv med familien i fin harmoni. (-being MORTAL). Jeg har oplevet SÅ meget i mine firs år.

Fra fattigdom til ”de bonede gulve”!

The Skies are Blue! Alenedom achieved

*Dansk version findes længere nede i teksten.

After three years of drought, it is now raining in Queensland. Hurra!

My trip from Roma to Emerald was so surreal but breathtaking that I am only now realising that its happy end has probably guided me INTO ALENEDOM applying from now on and forward. Not bad! I was total without control over my own situation, which could have ended fatally! Jason, the butcher from Emerald (Tracy and 4 + 3 children) is now family for life. The rest of my project’s sites are now pure tourism.

I haven’t done anything here in the capital of New Zealand. It also became Saturday, Sunday and now Monday morning. The city is great, the shops great, no statues, breath holes etc. No bikes either. But lots of young people of all nations, who as pedestrians fill up the streets. China is sending young people to school here. They have their A… Full of money. 12,000 kr. for a pair of high fashion shoes. The backpacker site X-base has a lot of jobless, who drives around on without aim. Others go to sleep along the streets early in the evenings. Elderly peoples are not seen much.

.. Met two days ago with my e-mail friend Pernille for a nice chat over a beer. Pernille came here backpacking five years ago and is still here. I would be delighted to stretch the legs a little at Tahiti, if possible. Later to enjoy Easter Island, ask for Santiago there, possibly find Info.

Will work on getting two more days in Lima, that then goes from the stay at Annette, Andrea and Thomas in Sao Paulo.

The Skies are Blue! ALENEDOM opnået

Efter tre års tørke regner det nu igen i Queensland. Hurra!

Min tur fra Roma til Emerald (Queensland) var så surrealistisk, men mavepustende, at jeg først nu er ved at se i øjnene, at dens lykkelige udgang nok har ført mig ind i ALENEDOM gældende fra nu af og fremad. Ikke dårligt!

Jeg var totalt uden kontrol over egen situation, som kunne have endt fatalt! Jason, slagteren fra Emerald (Tracy og 4+3 børn) er nu familie for livstid. Resten af mit projekts steder er nu ren turisme.

Jeg har ikke lavet noget her i New Zealands hovedstad. Det blev også lørdag, søndag og nu mandag morgen. Byen er stor, butikkerne store, ingen statuer, åndehuller osv. Heller ingen cykler. Men masser af unge af alle nationer, som fylder gaderne op. Kina sender unge i skole her. De har r…. fuld af penge. 12.000 kr. for et par modesko. Backpackerstedet X-base har mange jobløse, der driver rundt på må og få.

.. Mødtes i forgårs endeligt med min Auckland e-mail veninde Pernille, og vi havde en dejlig time sammen over en øl. Pernille forlod DK for fem år siden som backpacker og er nu groet fast her. Jeg vil glæde mig til at strække benene lidt på Tahiti om muligt. Senere at nyde Påskeøen, spørge til Santiago der, evt finde Info.

Vil arbejde på, at få to dage mere i Lima, der så går fra opholdet hos Thomas i Sao Paulo.

Migratory birds/Migration – Trækfugle

*Dansk version findes længere nede i teksten.

Do backpackers live in a symbiosis with NATURE? Yes, enormously. They leave upbringing to follow routes. Settle down and forage. Holds together without a chieftain. Constitutes one breed. Live together in harmony with every goal in mind for the journey itself. You’re out on the living. Finally, away from mom and dad.

Many a backpacker needs to have a lot of things between childhood and own choice of profession put at place. Travel often two and two, to have one to plan with, take care of one, enjoy experiences with etc. Now, mobile can not be dispensed with, but it probably goes over? The Teddy bears have gone some time ago!

Migratory birds are, for example, storks flying over the mountains of the Himalayan, “stære” who in January moves in millions up through the Date palms along the Eufratis and the Tigris rivers on their way to Northern Europe.

Migration – Trækfugle

Levet backpacker i en symbiose med NATURE? Ja, enormt meget. De forlader opvækst for at følge ruter. Slår sig ned og fouragerer. Holder sammen uden en Høvding. Udgør en race. Lever sammen i harmoni med hver et mål for øje udenfor selve REJSEN. Man er ude på opleveren. Endelig væk fra mor og far.

Mangen en backpacker skal lige have hold på en del ting mellem barndom og et eventuelt studie. Rejser gerne to og to, for at have en at planlægge med, passe på en, nyde oplevelser med etc. Lige nu kan Mobil slet ikke undværes, men det går nok over?

Trækfugle er f.eks storke, der flyver over Himalaya’s bjerge, stære, der i januar flytter i millionsvis op gennem dadelpalmer langs Eufratis og Tigrisfloderne på deres vej til Nord-europa.

Brisbane 31.st of October 04:00 in the MORNING

*Dansk version findes længere nede i teksten

Then it’s on. Auckland kAge! Two nights of a day in between have been eventful here at the YHA-backpacker site in a river swing amid the city’s violent buildings. YHA has roof terraces with view to it all. The stay has been a success.

Here we “one World”. YHA Creates the background of a seemingly free life, in “a paradise without snakes”. Right now 04:20 arrived a 77-year-old married couple with night train from Sydney. YHA opens at 07, but everyone helps as far as possible (they got room)

Without sense has management here have foot on everything. “-strict consequence”! Still, the glass doors to one of the city’s major traffic crosses are open all day. Young people come and go all the time from all around the world. Management gets the framework. We at all ages fill them in a beautiful way.

30-year-old kindergarten leader, a lovely girl, looking for meaning with life. James and Sarah, 60-year-old IT married couple from a villa in the mountains behind Sydney relaxing in the sun. They spend every summer (ours) cycling France thinly, most recently on electric bikes.

Lots of 18-26-year-old boys and girls, alone or two and two, are on the way from/to. My two or three boys in a four-man room sleep with the “mobile” in the hand and turned it on now and then all night. I wonder if they their teddy bears, or their mothers.

What I see here is probably a step towards the ”disruption” that will roll over the world?

Feudal time and agrarian society demanded lots of children. 22-23 certain places in Denmark. Here in Australia up to 12. Maybe there was nothing else to do after sunset?

The continued socialization of Denmark mass produces stress and sickness absence against not before seen heights. In the past, you absent when you had to give birth, even though it is not a disease. The news media are now mentioning municipalities with increases from 8-9 days against 15-16? Something YHA Brisbane ‘s “strict consequence” could be applied. Brøndby and FCK problems could be handled the same way!

Some rooms here in YHA are for both sexes. It certainly provides flexibility in accommodation. One of my “victims” here (S…) is Islam. He enjoys life on the rooftop terrace with a lovely girl (M….) from Costa Rica. Minibus comes about a neighborhood, so I’d better bring rucksack in order. Drag the cover on it. At 05:00 The trip to the airport was so excitingly (complicated) that it was good, we did not see it when we 21st. in the night darkness drove through the city up to Toowoomba. There are not many MC groups here. It’s too hot.

Brisbane 31. Oktober kl 04:00 om morgenen

Så er det videre. Auckland kalder! To nætter med en dag imellem har været oplevelsesrig her på YHA-backpackerstedet i et flodsving midt imellem Byens voldsomme Citybygninger. YHA har 1½ dejlige tagterrasser med view til det hele.

Opholdet har været en succes.

Her er man ”one World”. YHA kreerer baggrunden for et tilsyneladende frit liv, i ”et Paradis uden slanger”. Lige nu 04:20 ankom et 77-årigt vel fattigt, ægtepar med nattog fra Sydney. YHA åbner kl. 7, men alle hjælper så vidt muligt (de fik værelse)

Uden at fornemme det har Management her ”fod på alt”. Total consequense! Alligevel står glasdørene ud til et af Byens større trafikkryds åbne hele dagen. Unge kommer og går hele tiden fra Alverdens lande. Ledelsen skaffer rammerne. Vi i alle aldre fylder dem ud på en smuk måde.

30-årige børnehave leder, en dejlige pige, leder efter mening med Livet. James og Sarah, 60-årigt IT-ægtepar fra en villa oppe i bjergene bag Sydney slapper af i solen. De tilbringer hver sommer (vores) med at cykle Frankrig tyndt, senest på el-cykler.

Masser af 18-26-årige drenge og piger, alene eller to og to, er på vej fra/til. Mine to-tre drenge i et fire-mandsværelse sover med ”mobilen” i hånden og tænder den så nu og da hele natten. Mon de savner deres bamser, eller deres mor?

Det, jeg ser her, er nok et spirende tiltag til den”disruption”, der vil rulle hen over Verden?

Feudaltiden og agrarsamfundet krævede masser af børn. 22-23 visse steder i Danmark. Her i Australien op til 12. Der var måske heller ikke andet at lave efter solnedgang?

Den fortsatte socialisering af Danmark masseproducerer stress og sygefravær mod ikke før sete højder. Tidligere var man væk, når man skulle føde, selvom det jo ikke er en sygdom.

Nyhedsmidlerne opererer nu med omtale af kommuner med stigninger fra 8-9 dage mod 15-16?

Noget YHA Brisbane ’s ”strict consequence” kunne forbedre på. Brøndby og FCK problemer kunne fordufte samme vej!

Nogle rum her i YHA er fællesrum. Det giver sikkert en fleksibilitet i indkvartering. Et af mine ”ofre” her (S…) er islamist. Han hyggede sig på tagterrasse med en dejlig pige (M….) fra Costa Rica.

Minibus kommer om et kvarter, så jeg må hellere bring rygsæk mm. i orden. Evt. trække flybetræk om den.

Kl. 05:00 turen til lufthavnen var så ophidsende (kompliceret), at det var godt, vi ikke så det, da vidDen 21.i nattemørke kørte gennem Byen op til Toowoomba.

Der er ikke mange MC-grupper her. Det er for varmt.
