The first stage, when you do a summary of the lessons from the previous year: Listen to your feet, do not rush, it’s the road that is the goal, it is not a job to do … It will be better tomorrow. Quite boring stage. Only asphalt, except 1 km. And… Continue reading
The sun is shining! Started the day with a good breakfast. Would have been even better without German dance music. Windy, but just enough. I went on nice roads and took it easy. Tried to go barefoot in my sandals, but it was not a good idea, I got a… Continue reading
What a day! I thought it would be easy. Not so far and that it would not rain before evening. But it began to rain at 12 and then I went four hours without taking a break. I was tired when I came to the hotel. My back was stunned…. Continue reading
I had forgotten how hard it is to walk off road. The last part of this stage was upside down and it took time. Thought about the woman I met yesterday, it must have been hard for her if she went this way with her cycle. Came at half past… Continue reading
Sun, wind, plenty of shade. Excellent. I’m not as tired as yesterday. Maybe not gone so far either. Expected to eat in Vorden but it is a holiday and everything was closed. The bread I bought last Monday saved me again. Took a shortcut to the campsite. Otherwise I’d have… Continue reading
Pretty easy stage today. A little up and down. Found a place where I thought I could get a sandwich. And I did. Surely a pound of smoked ham on three pieces of bread. € 10! Geez. But I needed it. The hostel is located far from the center and… Continue reading
Hard day. It was longer than I thought. Arrived at 7. Looked most at the asphalt. It took a long time to get out of Osnabrück. Got lost twice in the morning and at lunch I realized that it would be long. I got the entire hike’s best cup of… Continue reading
Up at 6:30 and away at 7. Tried to eat a piece of bread for lunch. It was practically impossible, stucking in the mouth. Terrible. When I came to the canal, I saw that I could follow it almost to Münster. I was as tired as yesterday and went slowly,… Continue reading
Last year, a farmer I met complained that nothing grew because it was too cold. The farmer I met today says nothing is growing because it’s too hot. Tough to be a farmer. Woke up at 8. Needed to sleep, apparently. Arrived at 5:30 pm. Less tired than yesterday. Pics… Continue reading
It was a thunderstorm last night. No rain, something the farmer I met yesterday wanted. Slept more than 10 hours last night too. Felt a bit hungry when I got up at 7. Packed, ate an apple and left. Ate bread and drank a coffee in Werne, it tasted good…. Continue reading
