Exploring Helgoland after a rough ride to this island

Weather: sunny with occasional clouds – around 17/18 degrees Accommodation cost (only) €27 We set off to explore the island. The island known for its coloured wooden houses, birdwatching, its rocky village building and, of course, duty-free. We wait a while until high tide makes disembarking a little easier and then walk through the lower village. We score the long-cherished wind and waterproof blue jacket for Robin at the boat and clothing shop and a 20-metre thin line for our little Keesje. We buy some mouth caps anyway from a not too friendly shop lady as it is highly encouraged (freiwillige mundkapfverpflichtung…which means: voluntary mouthpiece obligation) and eventually find a ‘basic ball’ to use for our ‘Keesje’. (found out what it is yet?) We have lunch at a ’typical German’ restaurant (Wiener Schnitzels mit kartoffeln und salat) and then leisurely stroll back to the port. On the way, we end up in wonderfully enthusiastic German folklore music, which we listen to for a while over a proper cup of coffee. After all, we have no shore power (so we save on everything), so a real latte machiatto on land was magic to our mouths. Patty is still living on aspirins, but taking a walk and eating well helps. We chill out further on board, Robin ties ’the Keesje’, we watch Max’s qualifier, eat a burger, prepare for tomorrow’s trip (6.00 departure for the Elbe and then basically Brunsbuttel unless…..) and go to bed at 10.00pm. #birds #islandlife #harbour

🇧🇷 Me perguntam : Por que vim? Esse lugar é diferente do que imaginei, os problemas são outros, os prazeres também. Parti porque ficar não era o único caminho, parti porque o destino futuro dava sentido ao presente, parti porque foi possível, parti por isso e aquilo e por outros motivos que não sei dizer. Parti quando o barco ficou pronto o bastante e quando chegou a hora. Por que teria ficado? 🇫🇷 Ils me demandent : « Pourquoi suis-je venue ? » Cet endroit est différent de ce que j’avais imaginé, les problèmes sont différents et les plaisirs aussi. Je suis partie parce que rester n’était pas la seule solution, je suis partie parce que la destination future donnait un sens au présent, je suis partie parce que c’était possible, je suis partie pour ceci et cela et pour d’autres raisons que je ne peux pas expliquer. Je suis partie quand le bateau était suffisamment prêt et quand le moment est venu. Pourquoi serais-je restée ? 🇺🇸 They ask me: Why did I come? This place is different from what I imagined, the problems are different and so are the pleasures. I left because staying wasn’t the only way, I left because the future destination gave meaning to the present, I left because it was possible, I left for this and that and for other reasons I can’t tell you. I left when the boat was ready enough and when the time came. Why would I have stayed?
