Starting on my Way Home

.

COP27 officially is over, but I don’t know the result yet. It seems, there were no progress. In the contrary, there were a lot of CO2 and Methan emissions. Why don’t they meet digital? It would save the environment and reduce the costs enormously. Actually I am very disappointed, because my action – to cycle all the way from Sweden to Egypt, and the attention it has got by the press and TV-channels, including adressing the leaders of the Global North, didn’t make any difference.

.

Anyway, I need some vaccation now. Even I didn’t go by bicycle more than 30km a day during the climate conference, I was very occupied by interviews. I hadn’t a lot of time to listen to talks. What I heared was about, what different companies can do, but it seems implementation is far away.

.

Egypt isn’t a country for cyclist! Though I bought a bus ticket for Cairo – with Miss Piggy in the lagguage compartment, because I was told, the cities are too far away from each other and the traffic becomes more and more dangerous the closer I come to Cairo. This way I avoid to be told by the police, that I have to take a taxi.

.

Nevertheless, I don’t know, if I can get a boat from Alexandria, Haifa or have to take the same route I came. I actually would like to avoid Turkiye this time. Crossing the Mediterranean will not be cheap, I think. Depending on, how often I can find locals, who hosts me, even the ride home can be expensive. I already stretched my account, therefore I started a funding page and will be very happy about even the lowest amount donated. (Friends, who already earlier donated, please ignore this.) Thank you in advance!
