weather conditions are subject to change
I told you it had been pretty hot the last two days, and also that I was staying in a hotel with no heating last night.
Because it had been so hot.
Well, it wasn’t so hot at all when I woke up and stepped outside to have a look:
Not that bad?
Okay, how about this one:
Or another accident testimonial:
Landscapes went back to their usual white & gray combinations:
It felt kind of hopeless, and I somehow got water in my shoes, too:
Once I stopped at a gas station and asked if I could sit down for a while and have some of the chocolate and ice-tea I was carrying:
Well, when I woke up again more than an hour had gone by, and the folks from the gas station were looking at me.
They were obviously wondering what the hell was going on.
I explained that I was on a walk to Xi’an 西安, then I shouldered my backpack and got back on the highway:
After a brief interlude that made me realize that I must have had something bad to eat earlier that day, I was very happy to arrive in what has been called “civilization” earlier:
You know those banners that marathon-runners break through once they get to the finish line?
Well today I had one of those banners too, I think:
I didn’t break through it though, because it was too high and I was too tired, and there was nobody to welcome me either.
But anyways I was very very happy to arrive in a safe haven after all this mess today.
A haven nice and warm, complete with linen and porcelain.

auch wenn an deinem banner niemand stand um dich willkommen zu heißen, gibt es doch sehr viele auf der ganzen welt die irgendwie dabei waren. 🙂
wenn man nicht denn mut hat eine solche zwei jährige reise zu machen, gibst du einem hier die chance ein bischen daran teilzuhaben.
alles gute weiterhin!
Juergen
…auch wenn im Zieleinlauf Niemand applaudierte, wir tun es in BN. J.
joerg
… die Frage ist nur, wo in Bad Nenndorf können wir solch ein riesiges Banner für den Zieleinlauf aufstellen…
vielleicht könnte man ja die Autobahn sperren…
Wanda
I'm glad you made it back to linen and porcelain! Rest well, Christoph.
Marvin
CHRISTOPH,
SORRY I HAVEN'T CHECKED IN ON YOU IN AWHILE. THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU A SHOT OF NOSTALGIA WITH THE CAPS. Ha, Ha! See you can teach an old dog new tricks.
You are still in my thoughts everyday and I will have a "fathers worry" about you until you get home safe and sound.
I should have warned you about sleeping in gas stations full of strangers if your a tall German. You'll get staired at everytime.
I'm in the exciting city of St. Louis, Mo. However I didn't walk here, I got here the old fashioned way by flying. Take care and as my beautiful wife says rest well!!!!

Viel Mut weiterhin!
