And… continuing…I was so tired from the short night, but this was a really nice place to sleep – guarded by hippos. The next morning I got a delicious breakfast and the inn owner sat with me – we got to talk some bits. She’s a retired teacher and runs the inn nevertheless, keeping her guests company, working hard for…
There’s this game, Pokemon Go. And that other game. Pikmin bloom. THe latter a glorified step counter, the first – essentially a collector’s challenge. Both are on my phone. Together with ingress which also encourages to walk or move self propelled outdoors. With ingress I started to participate in GORUCK events. Actually putting a load on my back and walk…
In the official paper with information from our village government, they had an advertisement, showing off a trailer for a bicycle, which you can pull along on tours. The big advantage: you can just crash at the roadside when you are tired, grab some sleep and coutinue. Not so easy with a tent – that’s forbidden. So I booked one…
Just a few pics – GORUCK and Anomaly. This entry comes super late, so I just didn’t have writing time.
Oh yeah. Last year. Kind of I feel that I have picked up all the travels which I missed out on the year before. I was in a lot of new places. Saw new places, regions, countries. First time ever in Norway. Learning about this world, cycling over borders. Starting post-pan-Europe bikepath cycling. But I also am observing our world.…
Another Flix bus trip for yet another ingress event. And yet another anomaly which was interesting – we did lose again – and again in Europe. But then – cycling through Reims, incoming town I rode through areas which were definitely inhabited by the poorer part of the population. Their TGV station is way out of town so I covered…
So, first post-paneurope trail done They are different, somehow – while Paneuropa wasn’t marked everywhere, same as Eurovelo 12, the px was more accurate with Paneuropa. Long diagonal lines when there are actually curvy streets – that does confuse. Especially when checking all the time if I am still on track.That was super annoying. And does delay for it falsifies…
My Resistance friend who already had made it to Gothenburg wrote, that he’d in Gothenborg this evening, still. I was a bit in between maximizing bike distance and visiting and actually seeing the city of Gothenborg. So I decided for the sevond, especially after my landlord in the Stromsted-suburb had told me that there was a train from Stromsted Station…
So I had a good night’s sleep. The motel did offer breakfast, and by then I also had payment down (the lady at the reception had a bit trouble with the EC card reader). For some reason the hotel owners did not want me to eat frogs for breakfast….. Rygge, the town where I had stayed is not really large…
Goodbye Oslo, here I come, Eurovelo. Europe is covered with a network of bicycle pathways, connecting Europe, connecting countries, showing beautiful places, reliving history, so I thought. So I took a close look at this network. Since I have finished the Pan Europe bike path I was on the lookout for a new project. WOuld it be the „around the…
