rich man meets refugee

when in bad reichenhall, do not forget to visit the beuatiful lake königssee (close to berchtesgaden, southeast bavaria). for me it was a very special reencounter after 26 years :-)

then: poor refugee with no money, no legal status to stay in the country (germany), no clue what the future brings especially if the german authorities will send me back into socialistic czechoslovakia (that would mean jail or worse back in 1988)
today: quite well situated man with the best of all wives, two nice almost self-reliant daughters and most of the stuff people usually dream about ...

the old refugee camp is still there, now empty
never been inside even if it is only some 30 meters from my old refugee home

a crazy refugee ~ going to swim in a 14.2 degrees celsius cold alp lake in the middle of october. it was not the summit of my crazyness. just two years later i swum in lake königssee in early december by outside temperature of minus 1 degree celsius and water temperature of +3⁰C ⛄
