#throwback – 9 June 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday we went to bed very early, especially David John, and that\u2019s why we wake up very early today. I follow D.J.\u2019s example and by 7:30 a.m. (yes, you read that right) I\u2019m packed and on my way. I\u2019m not really in the mood for a proper breakfast\u2014 a banana and some coffee make a perfect alternative. My roommate has already left quite a while ago. Some people do like to overdo things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s chilly and a strong wind is blowing. Not exactly pleasant, but as long as I keep walking, it doesn\u2019t bother me too much. At least it\u2019s still dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the route is easier again, and after about an hour and a half of walking, I reach the Navsj\u00f6ns Nature Reserve<\/a> with a huge lake. This place must get pretty crowded in summer, because there\u2019s a picnic table every fifty meters or so. There are also lovely little beaches and easy access to the lake for swimming. I actually see quite a few people\u2014which doesn\u2019t happen often. Most of them are fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I try to find a table where the wind doesn\u2019t blow too hard, but that\u2019s easier said than done. I want to fry some eggs, you see. The flames go in every direction and I lose a lot of heat, but in the end I devour my version 2.0 breakfast as if I haven\u2019t eaten in weeks. Absolutely delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather stays changeable, but I get lucky. Most of the rain falls just after I arrive at my shelter around 3 p.m. There, I can cook out of the wind, go for a swim (read: give myself a proper wash), and calmly do my laundry. All in all, it\u2019s a lovely afternoon with alternating rain and sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point, it really starts pouring, while the sun shines brightly at the same time. That must mean there\u2019s a rainbow somewhere! And yes\u2014 I step out of the hut, turn right, and see a stunning double rainbow. A breathtaking gift from nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
