I have break my own record once again to travel more than 150km in a day under heavy rain and wind as I have long missed my great family in Germany who take great care of me and the comfy bed with hot shower.
The rain never end, wet, wet, wet and hard for me to camp along the way too crossing from Netherlands to Germany heading back to my brother's place.
If there is a will, there will have the power 有愿就有力, no matter how tired, how wet, how cold and how I lost my way as entered many small routes in order to hide from the traffics of big motor ways and phone GPS is totally not working due to heavy downpour and the big raindrops keep hitting directly onto the screen, the screen keeps changing and shutdown automatically. But, I am determined, to arrive back home to reunion with my family in Germany earliest possible because I am heading back home to Sg very soon due to Schengen permit expiring in a few days time; also, rather I am fully wet and cold out in nowhere.
I have a few last days most enjoyable moments with my brother and family here, we drove out for sightseeing as a big family, running together to the park, going for a walk, etc. Most touching is, my brother hunt high and low for a big carton box when I am away to Netherlands (without me worried about this) in order to store my big bicycle and he himself dismantle together with me when I am back with my bicycle. Because I have to get my bicycle back to service and parts change with SK before my next journey out to South America. And after such a long time, this is the 1st time my bicycle come back home after 6 years staying out in other part of the world with locals whenever I am back for a winter break.
Sadly, good moments always past very quickly, time to bid farewell with my Turkish family in Germany. My lovely sister Fatma stay that night in order to make me fresh foods to bring along my way home. She feel pain for me as I have to transfer at Athens and took about 35 to 40 hrs including waited to board for my next flight to Sg.
Frankly, damn tired because Athens is the worst and totally non facilitated airport, but luckily my heart filled with warmth loves from brother Cengiz and family, moreover with lots (few kg of foods), also he himself and Melike drove me to Frankfurt airport all the way and make sure I have board safely.
I can't express my gratitude and thankfulness to those kindness and loves from them; no matter through any kind of words honesly, including those who I have met all over the world and became family and till today we are still in touch; in SEA, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Turkey, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Norway, Germany, etc. But, for sure, the loves and great feeling are always in my heart and memories forever, I will not forget anyone of you, even though we do not need to keep writing to each other, you will be always in my heart.
Thank you to all my family members and friends who are out there in every part of the world, salute and loves💞💞💞😘
