My beloved Sabine has landed in Amsterdam, after traveling the globe for seven weeks. Among other things, we get to talk about A Good Place To Die. She's interested in my take on La Gomera, and somewhat surprised I talk about the island with enthusiasm. I like the island, its nature, the people, their food and the climate. From this blog however, she had concluded that I didn't like it too much as a possible place to live & semi-retire.
Sabine's conclusion is only partly correct. Sure, I don't think the island offers enough inspiration if I would live there by myself, as a recluse. Sharing a house with friends and/or lovers would be another matter. Together, we look at ads for houses for sale. Some of them look very nice. But the nice ones also tend to be expensive - maybe too expensive.
So it might be a good idea to combine the two: share the costs and the joys of living with more people. Interesting proposition.
In other words, La Gomera may merit a second visit, with more focus on looking for property. And maybe get around on a motorbike. So La Gomera is to be revisited...
But first, we're off to Berlin now. Keep you posted.
