Ready for the Road

Just finished packing my backpack. It’ weighs 7.5 kg which is pretty good considering the common recomandations not to carry more than 10kg for the Camino. I am ready to go. I will switch off my PC and have a nice dinner.   Tomoorow morning 6.30 h I will start my trip with the transfer to the Munich airport. I hope the weather will improve a little bit in Spain cause its too cold and rainy there for may right now.

some more training for Santiago

After doing nothing for weeks today I started my final preparation for the Santiago trip to spain. A wonderful  40 km bike tour along the Bad Tölz Isar Valley and back through typical bavarian small farming villages, through cows, horses and farmers doing their field work. I got lost twice.

Beautiful Germany

Again a training hike for my Santiago trip. Today I walked 32 km  (20 miles) from my appartment in Munich to Höhenschäftlarn and back to Baierbrunn along the Isar valley. I took me 6 hours and 1/2 hour break. From Baierbrunn I took the S-Bahn home. This was really exhausting for my untrained old body. Nevertheless a good experience. I took the photo below at the beginning of the hike near Unterhaching.
