Karel’s letters written during travelling

Letters written when working while travelling, part 13.

Staying at a pension

Karel Kosman photo So I calculated that I don’t have enough cash to make it reliably to Sicily, so I thought it would be a better idea to hang around this village next to the projects, cause I know some people there and know where I can get free internet without feeling obliged to order food or drinks all day.

Found a nice parking spot by the river, the cafe opens at 6:30 in the morning, so my plan was to sit out the cold mostly in the cafe and read books with my head buried in the sleeping bag during the cold nights. Not the greatest prospect, but after getting to the town and talking to the local English speaking alcoholic who I often hang out with, somehow the conversation got to his aunt who owns a sort of pension.

Basically just the top floor of where she lives and which she rents out to tourists during the summer, as do many people here. Anyway, now I feel like a king for 5 Euro a day, with my own room, wooden fire stove, and I get to use the next big room for cooking and inviting guests if I like. Smack in the centre of town and about 5 minutes from the internet cafe. This is better cause the cafe often gets filled up with kids, who turn up the music tv station and its often hard to concentrate. I can translate now in peace and go to the internet when needed.

I may stay here for about a month, after which the options are as follows: (1) I’ve saved up enough gas cash and barrel down to the warmth in southern Italy; (2) I work out a deal with a friend in eastern Bulgaria, using his address I get high speed and cheap internet through my mobile, stay in his house over the winter once he leaves after Christmas, perhaps help him with a bit of reconstruction in exchange for some exercise, food and a bit of cash, and then during the summer I have the option to take my highspeed internet and cruise up the Black Sea coast. Of course, based on how things have been fluctuating recently, an intriguing (3) is certainly also possible!

Happy living like a king, and keeping it crisp, heh heh.
