11/24 Grateful for almost eight hours of sleep, even though my watch says they were not particularly good ones. I had planned to try the gym and the rooftop pool in the hotel, complemented with a breakfast brought to my room, before I would start packing the remaining things, return the car and check in for my flight. I ended up only sitting at my window with a self-brewed cup of instant coffee, watching the sky light up slowly in the east, behind the tarmac, lights flickering in the cold. Very rarely a flight coming in from the east, landing lights bright. This was the best decision I could have made this morning, a calmness that seems to reach back to my child days and indefinitely into the future.
