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

Fascists (Nazi) protest for their human rights in Alicante spain outside the hostel located in florida I was staying in. The building was Francisco Franco Bahamondes home then it became a juvenile detention center then a hostel and beacon for fascist remembrance day or whatever this is. Like how these things go it involves random confused moron's supporting a cause that they don't even understand or see how retarded it is. Plus the Spanish like everyone on this planet are mongrels anyway meaning mixed bred or as the royals would say impure as they are all inbred but that's another story. History lesson coming...... Get ready to be blown away! Francisco Franco Bahamonde (4 December 1892 – 20 November 1975) was a Spanish military general who led the Nationalist forces in overthrowing the Second Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War and thereafter ruled over Spain from 1939 to 1975 as a dictator, assuming the title Caudillo. This period in Spanish history, from the Nationalist victory to Franco's death, is commonly known as Francoist Spain or as the Francoist dictatorship. Which as you can imagine was a barrel of laughs for the people (Sarcasm). Franco was best buddies with Adolf Hitler despite what the so called historians say as, he sent 50,000 volunteers to fight alongside the Germans on the Soviet front during WW2. Franco also had a beautiful picture of Adolf Hitler on his desk whilst modelling his Hugo boss swagger.
