10 September

As the day is very rainy, we decide to visit the Musee de la Guerre de 1870 et de l'annexion and brush up on German-French history.
For me, the museum will be the first step in further museum visits. After a couple of hours, we leave the museum satisfied but hungry and get some pizza - there will be plenty of French delicacies later - and drive to the next meadow, which will accommodate us tonight.

It's time to say goodbye. Jeffrey* and Amelia* drive back to Germany after breakfast, for me the exciting part of my journey begins right here and now.
I stand on the field for a minute and feel a sense of being alone for the first time: I'm in France, my friends have just left and I can't communicate exceptionally well.
Then the familiar routine sets in and displaces this thought. I have to pack things, set off westwards (there is no exact destination at this point) and stock up on supplies.

The adventure begins. 🇫🇷
