23 - 28 April 2017 It was time to go back to Spain again, but this time I crossed the border by boat instead of a bridge. On Sunday I had to pack everything back in, what took a lot of time. After I said goodbye to Vodka the dog I left the house of Gerald. It was a warm day, but cycling went well. There were a lot of small roads with less cars. After some hills I arrived in Albufeira. I stayed at a couchsurfer, but he had to leave at 6 PM to go to work. Later h...

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 ...
