Miguel — Sun, 11 May 2025 16:14:25 +0000

On our trips we collected quite some practice on traveling with two recumbent bicycles on trains.

Today is Wednesday. Last night the ground was not even and we didn’t sleep well, despite the silence and darkness of the Dutch camping. Anyway, we got up later than usual and prepared a bacon and eggs breakfast (I must thank our warmshowers hosts in Agen for getting me having pleasure eating eggs!). Was already … Continue reading Diary of last week VII
