Ready? Actually, I'm not ready yet... even now that I'm on my way.... but hey what's new?

Ok, yes, I can almost hear you... This indeed looks more like a pub crawl than a mountain trail. I'm still very much in realm of modern civilization. In fact I'm staying in a fantastic little airbnbЧитать далее

Hiking! Finally! And uphill... what a start! 2 hours straight up up and upper. It's hot and I'm soaked. They say that long distance hiking means to get comfortable with being uncomfortable... so thisЧитать далее

It got a lot easier after that. A lot! After lunch the trail was a lot less scrambling up rain drainage paths and a lot more forest roads. Still, I finished my first hiking day after around 12km. LessЧитать далее

Two footprints for the same section? Again? Yes... it's been a loooong day.
But first things first.... getting up early sort of worked. I was back on the trail before 7. At 8.30am I stopped forЧитать далее

Lunch, apart from being delicious, also brought on the wise decision not to do a crazy push for 30km today. Especially not with 13km pretty much uphill towards the very end.
So instead I went for aЧитать далее
Der SchotteBut why still the long sleeves then, hm? Haha, lovely valley views!!! Keep going mate!
