🎼 ..... The Grand Piano ..... 🎼

It‘s been a few years. However, I remember the experience as if it was only yesterday. It was
the time when I started to-just-travel-around-the-world. Wherever I liked, I stopped for a few
days to dive in the sea, to listen to the existing rhythm of the region or even to get to know a
person. It was the time, when I began to discover myself. I did uncover areas that until then
had been waiting under a heavy blanket of fear. I lived those days 'wild' -- like an adventurer.

Although I preferred to go far away with my GT -- the interior was then my safe place and
refuge -- from time to time, I felt also drawn to destinations that one only could reach by
ship or plane. My first flight was a long-haul flight to the Philippines. After I had survived
that endeavour, the big planes became my friends ... not least because I loved to catch
the attention of the flight attendants.

One of my middle long-distance destinations was in the south of Turkey, a small place called
Kaş. In ancient times, we named it Antiphellos … we still find traces of this time. The area
displays this past with an unashamed grace and among the inhabitants; it is never quite clear
whether Greek or Turkish blood predominates. I love this place! The fact that the nearest
airports are in Antalia and Dalaman makes this place unattractive for package holidaymakers,
who are reluctant to make the long transfer. Thus, a paradise for a special kind of people
has developed there and, as in every hot country, the 'real' life in Kaş only begins when the
sun has already sunk into the deep blue of the sea for a few hours.

This is Part II of the Story

There is a large square in the centre of Kaş. It is bordered on the south side by the harbour
and the open sea. Traditionally, this is where the restaurants and cafes are to-be-found, and
once a bank holiday has indicated, it becomes the People's Festival Square. In the side streets,
almost all of which lead to the sea, there are a few music cafes. In these, live performances
can be heard again-and-again, and as a rule, they are performed between door and door.
Therefore, the visitors sit both, inside and outside the café. Kaş loves blues and light rock,
the music of the 70s. A paradise for those who started their future in the Love & Peace Era.
It also makes the H.E.A.D. (high-end audio device) superfluous … completly. Kaş vibrates at
night and even women with blonde hair can frequent this place alone without the risk of
being 'stupidly' hit on. I spent many terrific hours there and got to meet some special people.

In the streets at night hangs the heavy scent of jasmine and the beguiling fragrance of angel
trumpets. After a few days, you simply forget your everyday life. For me, 'dreaming-while-
awake' begins in such moments and I like to follow it. It is what we preferred to do as children
and too often forget to do as adults. Floating around in the sea during the day and listening
to live music at night, bathing in oriental scents ... it is paradise, pure and simple.
