I am now already in Barcelona. Last week on Monday and Wednesday, I had strong head winds. All the fucking time.

And I had Problems with my stomach beginning on Wednesday too but this ended two days later.

Luckily i met a pretty Girl from Germany, who was also cycling a long tour, so that we could drive from Amelie les Bains to the col d Ares and Camprodon. But unfortunately, we had to go different directions as she headed towards the Pyreneas and me to Barcelona. Quel Dommage, I had really enjoiyed her company.

Now imaging a psychopath, putting an official "cycle Road"-sign on this path. Yes, I would torture him for the rest of his life too.
