Marcel returns to the Wadden Sea, plays an exit game, and goes swimming with Anna in the evening.

Being back at the sea did something to me. The sounds, the sights, I love it all. Every summer of my childhood, I spent all six weeks of the holidays by the sea. No internet, barely any infrastructure, just me, my boredom, crabs, seagulls, and the ever-changing tides. Come to think of it, it might be my favourite childhood memory.

Marcel and his friends eat breakfast, visit Tower Bridge in the heat, and have dinner together in London.

Visiting Tower Bridge while melting wasn’t exactly a highlight of this trip, but I’m glad I saw it.

Marcel visits Edinburgh with Anna, sees the castle and Bobby’s grave, meets Raphael for coffee, and has dinner with Raphael and Marion.

I expected to like Edinburgh more than I did. The people were great, but the city just didn’t have the right vibe for me.
