Rain rain rain, and so much beauty
April 14, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
What a crazy day today! This morning those wonderful encounters, and this afternoon pouring rain. And as "cherry on the cake" I got totally lost in the middle of nowhere climbing through thorny Macchia up a steep slope with loose wet shingles slipping away.
That was not a good idea, and I frequently thought "this is stupid", if I fall it will take a long time to find me. Because this coast is really wild and incredibly beautiful. Sheer paradise.Read more
TravelerReminds me a bit of South Africa😍

Wow! What a lucky day today!
April 14, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
I just met this couple that has walked all the way from Zurich to Santiago, then from Santiago to here, and will then walk back home again. That is about 6000 kms!
Isn't that amazing.
I can only bow in modesty in front of these wonderful humans.Read more

They do still exist, Cowherds!
April 14, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
And the crazy thing is that this one speaks perfect cultivated English while he stands out there in the rain wearing his felt cloak, like the shepherds of centuries gone by. What an encounter!

Maybe all our politicians and bankers should become cowherds. They would gain new values and spiritual insight about what is really important in life.Read more
Travelerhahahah why is every post of yours about politicians?😂😂

I need to reduce Kilos!
April 14, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Here I am at the post office sending about 1 KG of weight back to Germany. But it is not going to help much because half of my 15 KG is food and water. So the only way is to make my body fitter.
It will come :-)Read more

Pain everywhere!
April 13, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
What a day today!
Beautiful flowers, wonderful cliffs, but incredible pain everywhere, in my shoulders, back and knees . My body is definitely not yet up to speed ready to carry this weight. But it is comforting to know that in a few days things will be different and the walking flow will set in.
While everyone in Germany seems to be going crazy because of covid and the government has decided to totally get rid of democracy, people here are totally relaxed. What a good feeling to sense this.Read more
TravelerWarum pain?😄 ist doch wunderschön!

Farol do Cabo de sao Vincente
April 13, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
So here I am at the lighthouse of the Cabo de sao vicente, the Start of the Rota Vicente and the Real start of my Camino.
Buon Camino I wish myself, without injuries, and lots of deep moments.
TravelerWunderschön. Gehen wir morgen früh zusammen am Strand joggen, ja. 7:30 hinter dem Leuchtturm. Herzlich ahoi und frohes pilgern mit Herz und Seele. Fabian

Sagres at last
April 12, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Just reached Sagres, the most western point of Europe and the corner of Portugal. Here the Rota Vincentina begins and then joins up with the Camino Central which I will then follow to Santiago di Compostella.
Did 20 km today, and EVERYTHING is hurting. I am dead! Finished!
Although not that far, the path leads through a multitude of valleys and river beds, so it is 50meters down and then again 50m up onto the next cliff. I must have climbed 1000m today!
But I received a million unpayable gifts along the way, a nature in full bloom emitting every scent you can possibly imagine. This is God's garden and I am so grateful to be here.Read more

Bed with a view
April 12, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Even though everything is green and flowering, the ground is hard as concrete. So when I tried to pitch my tent last night, it was hopeless. I gave up and chose the roof of this ruin to sleep under the open sky. That was a mistake! I froze all night.
I got up this morning looking like a zombie, but in a totally different mood than yesterday. My frustration about Germany is gone, I have finally arrived here, on my camino!Read more
Traveler ... auch wenn’s kalt war ... unglaublicher Blick .. 🤩

TravelerHallo Mike, ein Tipp: wenn Du wieder mal Dein Zelt Nicht aufstellen kannst, nehm einfach Dein Zelt als eine Art Biwaksack als Schutz vor Kälte!

Yes! I did it, I'm here!
April 11, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
The waves signal that this sea was here long before we were, and still will be here when we are gone, when Seehofer is gone, when Jens Spahn and his friend Drosten are gone, when Gates, Rockefeller and all the others are gone.
Nature is in full Bloom, as it always has each year, ignoring the craziness around us,Read more
Traveler einfach hinsetzen... aufs Meer herausschauen ... Salz riechen ... einatmen... ausatmen ... und vielleicht lächeln... 😌

The Eagle is ready to fly, NOW!
April 11, 2021 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
I need to get out of here! I need to walk again! Exit this crazy world for a while. Meditate-in-walking, Only think about my next step, to be totally in the moment.
AND IT STARTS TODAY.!
Finally! I am sitting at the Munich airport, unbelievable!
These last days have been absolute hell, organising everything so that I can be away for three months.
I actually wanted to start my CAMINO last week, on easter Sunday, but then suddenly Portugal closed its borders only allowing essential travel.
Now, one week later, having repeated the COVID test, I am talking to my neighbour at the gate, only to hear that her husband flew, without any problems, on exactly the flight I was going to take last week. All the talk about "essential travel" was manipulation aimed at discouraging tourists around easter.
What has happened to our world?
The media and our governments are lying incessantly to us, keeping this fear dynamic going, only to cover up what is really going on: a financial system that has gone totally out of control, government members, who are being financed by industry, and have no interest whatsoever in our democracy, and who are using every opportunity to fill their own pockets as the World, Europe and Germany are marching into an economical crisis like we have never seen before.

May my SPIRIT EAGLE, which I carry tattooed on my chest, now sweep me up to the air, away from all this worry and anger, back into my own sacred energy, far from all this crazyness.Read more
