Cycling around the world concerning about ecological issues

Red remembering


The time flew by in Auroville and I considered changing my plans to stay here for months instead of days. So many great people would be worth meeting again and I hope this wish comes true once in a while. I will definitely try to visit them in some of these great places they told me about. It was hard to leave but the friend from Argentina was awaiting me in Bangkok. I just managed the first night to sleep 10 km outside of Auroville in a red soiled canyon where it was one of very few places in India where nobody passed at all. I found out during the night why this was the case. It was raining like on purpose, it was the first sign of the northwest monsoon that returns from the big mountains up there. Mud took over the place I stayed and luckily some new ponds stopped just in front of my tent. I had to cross this and some more after freeing my somehow dirty tent from the red cover. My bike and me came out with the special new touch; when I did 140 km more to Chennai I felt a little like an alien. There I could stay at a couchsurfer’s place and got my things organized before leaving at night. Due to a wrong time written on my ticket I could afterwards sleep at the airport, stay there one more day and leave the other night. A German girl with two children missed her flight and I could watch for them for many hours, now I have one more place to stay when I come back through Europe.

Na du Lieber, ich habe mit einigen guten Freunden über Auroville gesprochen, die dort einige Monate verbrachten. Klingt interessant- aber es gibt geteilte Meinungen. H.W. hat die Begründerin vor Jahren in der Schweiz getroffen.Es gibt hier einige spannende Neuigkeiten- i werd dir berichten.
Ria ist grad bei mir in der Arbeit, sie sagt: Iglu auf Haus, mit Rutsche, wie besprochen. Dann möchte sie mit dir Blumen und Kerzen sammeln- es dunkel machen und aus dem Häuschen rausleuchten lassen. Sie möchte auch Sessel haben und einen Hund mit Schweinchennase und ein Schwein mit Hundenase einladen.
Tja, also sag mir noch ob du auf die Andemaren willst am Weg nach Thailand damit ich Simbron Bescheid geben kann.Bussi, Nina*Ria
