Was all of this really worth it? That is the question I am asking myself today again and again. Rather expensive trip that was supposed to bring me freedom of movement on the European continent turned out to be not that great success. Or am I wrong?

It might be just my present mood, feeling trapped yet again. Will this ever end...

If you have been following my posts for last week or so, you might be aware of a video series I have put out, documenting my journey from Batumi to Budapest, which is the first place I can legally stay without any restrictions. Which is Great, but still somewhat limiting as new horizons have appeared and I strive for more again.

But half of my skeptical mind is telling me boy, how lucky you are, without even realizing it. Having crossed Black sea and numerous borders in the times of Cervezabug. Now you have a chance to stay in half empty Budapest, enjoy, this is you holiday for the year 2020.

And so I am reflecting on my journey and scrolling though the photos I have taken. Sadly not too many, but who would care that much about photos when filming nonstop.

But still I feel like sharing a bunch here

First morning we woke up to amazing set of clouds that were following us for the rest of the day.

One could just stare into them and read their stories unfolding. Having no internet the whole duration of our trip that become our favorite past time.

Deck 8 - 40 square meters of freedom.

To top up the fact this was already my longest cruise in my life. The Captain decided our cruise would be one day longer due to stopover somewhere around the Russian coast to top up the fuel.

Personally i couldn't care less but few people's schedule was broken apart.

Nonetheless we have had a blast on the deck 8. From exercising to beer drinking or sleeping, the freshest air in the middle of the sea was providing us with a little clarity in between of all this madness.

If you have missed my video reports, here is a reminder.
