I have one more train ride after this that will be with my Interrail pass. Right now we’re heading for Hannover in order to change to go to Berlin. This train is delayed 5 minutes and we’ll see if I manage to catch the other one. I stayed in Kassel one more night while it got late and I would not have been in Berlin until 12 or 01 in the night.
Yesterday I went up to the Hercules statue and looked at the tourists and the water. Then I got lost in the woods and the road seemd like it would never end. Some kids that I passed sang “Wenn komme wir zu ende”. I enjoyed the silence before I found my way back to the water. V from the hostel and me went to Buga See and went for a swim. The water was warmer then I’d thought and the swim became longer than I’d thought. V showed me the art around the city from the Documenta exhibitions and the Orangerie. We arrived at a small Biergarten and I think it was around that time I decided I’d stay in Kassel one more night. I could stay at Vs place.
There was a concert and the band was Irish, Glen Hansard & band. I didn’t recognize it at first, but V noticed early that this was music like The Frames. One of the last songs made me react more. What was that song… The movie “Once” an Irish movie. The actor and the musician Glen Hansard. The song is played in the movie. And I am adding a new song to my list for my travels. A song that is connected to Kassel.

Last train ride on my Interrail. One hour left to Berlin now and I managed to sleep some. Eat two pieces of Energy chocolate which I bought in Aachen (Same thing as I once got for free at the Spa Hotel I worked at, but now I know how it’s supposed to taste like. The once I got where old and was going to be thrown away. Even with that in my body I fell asleep.
In Bruges I had a coffee and to that I got a small package with something sweet, but I didn’t want it right then. Offered it to R but none of us wanted it and I just put it in my bag instead. It’s just in Sweden we don’t really have that. Everywhere else I go in the world you get a small package with something sweet with your coffee. Pretty much without any exception. Just now I opened it. A small waffle. Sweet and tasting a little bit like ginger and cinnamon. Flashbacks to Bruges.
I have been feeling a little bit lost, and I guess I still do. For some reason I have had the feeling I am leaving all the time. Instead of the feeling of gaining experiences and getting new friends I feel like I am losing them, I am leaving the places I’ve been to and I am leaving the people. Will I ever see these places and the people again? I don’t know. I feel at home everywhere, I see amazing things and I meet amazing people. Friendly, fun and adorable. Kindhearted, honest, open minded and with big hearts inviting you in. I don’t want to lose them, I want to keep them.
V kind of got me back on track. V saw my state of mind, I couldn’t really hide it. The fact that I need to see that I am not loosing anything, but that I am lucky to have met all of these people and seen all of these places. As my darling Á wrote to me: Your brother must really know you well”. And I really think he does. I needed this trip. And I still do, because it not to an end yet. Cliché; I am just starting my life and it will always be a journey and an adventure. I will never stop learning. Getting to know myself, humans, the world. This trip will never end. Amazing what one meeting can do to you. All the feelings, it feels like they’re going to knock you unconscious. I’ve met a lot of people that made my head spin and my heart skip a beat, maybe that is why I am also feeling overwhelmed. Almost all the time. I am happy I met you V and that I stayed in Kassel one more night. It meant a lot. Probably more than you can imagine. Maybe we’ll see each other soon again.
20 minutes before arriving in Berlin Hbf. Life. What a crazy thing.
