My travel adventures

& some other stuff

Welcome to my Website!

Hello and welcome to my page 🙂

I’m Katrin and I used to travel a lot in my 30ies.
Currently (2026), I’m working on including all my old travel blogs to keep all these good memories alive.

I’m also adding some new things, e.g. DIY recipes and content about my current photography and sports activities.
So you’ll find a pretty colourful mixture here 🙂
And maybe there’s something interesting in there for you as well.

Enjoy!
And please let me know if you find any errors or inconsistencies in the contact form. Thanks!

Day 27: bye, bye Fort St.Louis and trip home

Wednesday, 18th July 2012

I woke up around 5 a.m., when we had already docked, and couldn’t get back to sleep. At 6 a.m., I got up, showered, and packed everything up. Of course, there was no sign of the others at breakfast. I grabbed a piece of baguette as a snack for the journey and was down at the dock at 7:30 a.m. sharp, where unfortunately there was no taxi waiting.

Day 26: Last day onboard

Tuesday, 17th July 2012

As always on board, I slept soundly until around 7 a.m., even though I was a little groggy. I had dreamed about a confusing Unicorns game with strange rules that went on forever. Additionally, I had to unclogg the toilets there. In the middle of my work, I went outside again to find that the game was finally over and the Unicorns had won 7-6.
Understandably, I was a little tired after that.

Day 25: Spectacular docking maneuver in Dunkirk

Monday, 16th July 2012

I feel strange today. I don’t know if that’s already the pretaste of saying goodbye soon or the fact that I seem to have only just realized why work life here is so hard.
Until now, I always thought this was my dream life, but somehow that dream burst yesterday. At least, that’s how it feels today.

Day 20: Dolphins, finally!!

Wednesday, 11th July 2012

After eight hours of sleep, I woke up in a great mood and full of energy. After breakfast, I went cycling for an hour. Then I took a shower and did some reading by the pool while Hamadou scrubbed my cabin.
After that, I took a trip to the forecastle. The water is even smoother than usual, and there is trash floating by that you don’t normally see between the waves.
On the other hand, there are hardly any flying fish to be seen.

Day 17: BBQ #2 – Roasting of a suckling pig!!!

Sunday, 8th July 2012

I let the day start slowly with a bit of journaling/blogging and a few Sudoku puzzles. After that, I went to the Salle des sports, which, to be honest, took a bit of effort because my energy level is currently almost non-existent, but once I sat on the bike for a while, it was fine. Although I never would have thought that I could really last 45 minutes.
After that, my room was cleaned and I was able to sit by the freshly cleaned pool for a bit before lunch.

Day 16: 1st day onboard again- unspectacular

Saturday, 7th July 2012

I woke up briefly at around 4:30 a.m. when we docked in Pointe-à-Pitre, but then went straight back to sleep. At breakfast, I chatted with the other passengers, but they were only going to Guadeloupe for the weekend and would be returning on Wednesday on the next ship.
