#throwback – May 6, 2024

It’s becoming a bit of a routine now—getting up and packing takes time. But the coffee, on the other hand, tastes better each day. Once again, I hit the trail late. The day starts off rough, with a chilly wind, but by the end of the afternoon the sun’s back out. Nothing changes quite like the weather.

I walk long stretches again through that fragrant yellow, surrounded by agricultural fields. In front of a few houses, I spot a beautiful sculpture of a horse, made entirely from bicycle and car parts. A true piece of art. The church in Sireköping is stunning, rising above the landscape from afar. Unfortunately, the door is locked—I can’t see the inside.

Once again I find a beautiful camping spot by a small lake. So peaceful, so rich, so full of quiet abundance.

The first 100 kilometers are behind me!
