A full week flew by in a flash. Today, the odometer hit a cool 1000 km. So, almost half of the total is done, yet it still feels like I’ve barely begun, like I’ve only posted about 2% of the total.
On day 7, I spiced up the route with a few extra kilometers to hit today’s target: a family visit and an overnight stay. Based on the previous days, I was bracing for a late arrival, but thanks to the splendid weather, I made fewer stops and reached the end surprisingly fast and ahead of schedule. The sun was a bit too enthusiastic, though, even with sunscreen, I got slight sizzle, but I’d choose that over cold any day.
The route was like a symphony of ups and downs, which kept things engaging yet challenging at times. Tomorrow’s agenda? Say “auf wiedersehen” to Germany and gear up for the Austrian ascents. But as we know, the road loves to throw curveballs, so let’s see what tomorrow actually unfolds.
