I am home again. I flew back on Wednesday morning and I arrived in Bonaire in the evening. Once inside the cabin, I threw my stuff on the sofa and ignored the mosquitoes and the little cockroaches still running around (I think I have never told about this…). Since the Cape Verde Islands I have been travelling in the company of stowaways – a small species of cockroaches. In the time, we have become chummy-chummy [good friends]. But we have fights from time to time, so I definitely want to break-up with them now. They are very resistant, but there are less and less of them… After sleeping for eleven hours, I have recovered a little. I am planning to set sail on next Tuesday, but it still depends on the weather and my mood. For the coming days I will be busy with preparations. However, I will occasionally find time to relax a little bit from the busy past week in the Netherlands (well, I hope)
