Are we coming home soon, or are we leaving our home behind?
Am I looking forward to arriving in Amsterdam, or would I rather stay here?
These are questions we’ve been asking ourselves a lot over the past few days. We’ve also talked about them quite often, because I don’t think any of us knows exactly what we’re supposed to feel.
Some people are eager to arrive and can hardly wait to see their families again. Others would prefer to turn around and start all over. And then there are those who feel a mixture of emotions and aren’t quite sure how to sort them out.
There’s so much to look forward to at home: family, friends, food, your own bed, and returning to a familiar routine. But at the same time, we’re leaving behind something incredibly valuable—something we won’t simply get back. Seeing each other every day, the conversations, the daily cuddles, the jokes, the togetherness, and the strong community we’ve built over the past six months.
At the same time, we’re also leaving behind the challenges: the long night watches, the seasickness, and the difficult moments.
To give you a small snapshot of the current mood on board, I conducted a short survey:
“Do you feel more like you’re coming home or leaving home when our voyage ends?”
Linn: I feel like I’m leaving home and coming home at the same time.
Mona: I feel like I’m leaving my new home to return to my old one.
Anton: I’m excited to see my family, but I know I’ll miss everyone soon after.
Louisa: I’m really sad that the voyage is almost over, which is why I’m appreciating these final moments so much. The Roald has truly become my second home, where I’ve made so many memories. But I’m also excited to see everyone at home.
Maxim: I feel like I’m coming home because of my friends and family.
Neele: I feel like I’m coming home, but also leaving my second home.
Olivia: As long as we’re on the ship, I feel like I’m leaving home—but when we arrive, I think I’ll feel both.
Mila: I feel like I’m coming home, but leaving my second family.
Julian: I feel like I’m leaving my home.
Milena: I’m very happy to see my family again, but leaving my second home makes me sad.
Nik: Even though this new home and these amazing people have grown on me, I’m very excited to be home again.
Anmerkungen:
Mila: Hallo an alle Zuhause, jetzt sind es nur noch 5 Tage und gestern habe ich angefangen mit packen. Irgendwie ist es schon sehr bitter, da jetzt langsam das Ende des halben Jahres wirklich richtig echt erscheint. Ich vermisse euch alle sehr- hab euch gaaaaaaanz doll lieb❤️
Bis Amsterdam
Matilda: Hallo an alle! Gerade kann man schon die Küste der Niederlanden sehen und die Ankunft in Amsterdam rückt immer näher, wodurch wir alle etwas traurig sind. Ich freue mich aber trotzdem schon sehr, euch wiederzusehen! Wir können Dinge wie Crew Klamotten und so hier als Andenken kaufen – könntet ihr dafür vielleicht Bargeld mitbringen? Das wäre supiiiii
Hab euch lieb!
Karl: Hallo Papa und alle anderen, gestern sind wir an der Normandie und am Omaha Beach vorbei gefahren. Ich freue mich euch alle in 5 Tagen wieder zu sehen.
Anton: Hallo an alle Zuhause, freue mich schon ganz doll euch in Amsterdam und München wieder zu sehen. Könnt ihr Bargeld für Crew Klamotten etc mitbringen? Bis in 5 Tagen, freu mich schon auf den Döner, bis dann
Joshua: bringt bitte Döner mit (Kalb ohne Zwiebeln mit Cocktail Soße)
