In the last 1 ½ weeks I have covered a good 2000 km and with France and Spain already two countries crossed from east to west. The weather of the last days was really bad with heavy rain and strong wind. Thanks to the high quality equipment from my sponsors I survived this phase well and thanks to generous donations from friends, I could afford to spend a night in a dry and warm air B&B accommodation and let my stuff dry. I was able to patch the first flat tire myself (amazingly - my handicraft skills are really below average). Now I cross the Portuguese border and look forward, there especially to Porto, Lisbon and hopefully the sunny warm south of the country. |
