31 March - 4 April 2017 These days I sort of followed the Camino de Santiago. Some parts were small paths with stones, rocks and sand. I didn't like those, so most of the time I took the bigger, asphalted road (N-120), a road for cars, but there were almost none. In Nájera I got my first stamp and cycled on to the albergue in Grañón. It was a very special place, because it was located in a church and I met a lot of hikers and had good conversations with som...

24 - 30 March 2017 These last days in France were a good compilation of the last weeks. There was some sun, some rain and some hills. On Friday I visited the most famous and highest dune of Europe, la Dune du Pilat, with a height of 110 meters. From the top I had an amazing view over the forest and the ocean! The rest of the day I cycled through the forest. When I arrived at Mimizan there was still no response of a couchsurfer, so I started looking for a place ...

19 - 23 March 2017 It was time for a sort of holiday! Daan flied to the airport of Bordeaux on Sunday morning, so I had to get up early, but it was worth it. We finally saw each other after 5 weeks. I really enjoyed our time together :D. On Sunday we met at the airport and Daan took the bus, while I cycled to the hotel. When we arrived the room was not ready jet, so we walked a little bit around and ate some breakfast. After we left our stuff in the room we wa...

16 - 18 March 2017 These days I cycled a lot through the forest. And that is very nice, because there are no cars to worry about and it is nice and quiet. And don't forget the nice smells and views! I really like it. :D On Thursday I stayed at Tom's place in Royan. We had a good time and baked our own crêpes. The next day I couldn't find a couchsurfer or warmshower to stay with, so it became the first night alone in my tent in the forest. I was a little bit sc...

11 - 15 March 2017 The time is going so fast! It is already a month ago since I left home. The cycling is going easier and easier. And I see a lot of nice things. Saturday I went to a very nice and big yarn store, because I want a flag of every country I visit and they are really hard to find in a normal size, so I decided to crochet them by myself. I just finished the flag of France, and started the one of Belgium. Sunday I cycled along the river Vendée and ...
