This week was quite tough. I made over 600 km since Barcelona and have
already done more than 2700km. The first bit along the coast, right next
to the beach was nice, but then after Tarragona, the terrain became
drier and drier, and in the end, there were landscapes on which nothing
else than olivetrees, almondtrees and some bushes seemed to grow. It
takes a lot of mental strenght,

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 nice trekking road. It is all gravel, rocks and Sand, broad enough for a small 4x4. It leads through forrested hills, sometimes 15%steep up, over Rock bottom. There are not many other paths and no asphalt at all, just some small creeks. Perfect for a day trip with a rucksack.
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.

As my knee still hurts and I still have a lot to do at home, I decide to take the train home.

After saying goodbye to the ladies and Wolfgang, I leave again. Soon, the city starts to become greener and I am out of the city
I drive through a park and the street slowly turns into a path and then into a track, always a little uphill. I am navigating with the gps, but I shouldn't have.
