Bridgetown in Barbados

That was the final port of my cruise on Dec 3. Actually a very pleasant cruise, where you during your lazy and sunny days had time and imagination to enjoy with some glasses of inspirations or reflections into your former life, with the most important persons of your past, especially of women.
I have known many women in my life, in whom, I most honestly think, I was in love with. However I cannot say, who was the most important for me, to routes of coming roads. But many of them changed my way.. Who did mostly effect in my life? She was definitely not my late wife, because I then, when I met her, I already was 39.
We were marrid for 25 years, and I honestly miss her very much, even what happened during our last years due her sickness.
But I also did have several excellent bosses during my young years , who at their time could turn my way or ideas about my future to happy direccions.I really was lucky to work under such exprienced peronalities, who teached me how to care and handle things in difficult circumstancies.
I have had good friends too, and still have, but I cannot think that anybody of them did effect directly in my life's turns during the years someway.
I grew without a father, the years after the war were difficult to everybody, and we children did only understand or sense something, if anything.
As a very young boy I started to plan my life myself, turning my back to my mother, who in my opinion never took care of me, except food and clothes. The love was missing, or I needed to much.
So as young as possible I started to travel. To find the world, which I sensed very romantic. I was 11 years, when I went to Stockholm alone,living with my aunts family, but walking on the streets of big city for days alone. With 16 I studied the night life of Copenhagen,and a couple of years later at Reeperbahn in Hamburg.
And almost noboby knew Casablanca, when I was there 1965.
I could continue with a long list, maybe one day.
Now with 70, I am going to live further an adventurous life, because just a few weeks ago in Bridgetown, a young lady of Indian origin from Trinidad promissed to me 30 more years to live. She told me, that it is in their family a long tradition to see the future. I then asked, if I could buy a drink to her for those good news.
Instead, she was so happy for me, that she started to buy drinks to me, saying that, if she would be free, and her boy friend not next to her, she would marry me, or make love to me on the beach immediately, because I shall find a new love very soon.
So, that was the speciality of Bridgetown, much bigger and interesting city than those on the other islands. I had been there nine years ago, and found myself in the same marina bars as then, with two new T-shirts including some rum punches, and preparing to return to total winter back North. Most of the last 6 days I spent on the southern part of Bridgetown, called Hastings, just walking around the beaches or relaxing at funny Kevin's Mobile Bar at the beach, where I also met this lucky lady of mine. Kevin was a Jamaican born, British nationality, very nice, very good looking gentleman, who really could take care of customers, everybody in his bar had a good time . I didn't count, but he absolutely had at least 50 different kind of rum punches each to be served for USD 6.
I stayed in a cosy hostel "Pirate's Inn" nearby the beach or Kevin*s. Very friendly, clean and economy with nice swimming pool. There I also met a very friendly Hungarian couple Robert and Tamara. It is a pity, we did not have more time together. But we might meet us again in Budapest or Helsinki.
Again back Dec.11 in snowy Helsinki !
Next from CUBA!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
