Pictures !

 

Francesco, our new mate, we picked up in Barcelona.

 

Some unwished guests.

Hola España !

After reaching the sea at a really tourism area (:/) we cycled along the coast of France down to the border of Spain.

Furthermore we met in the near of Montpellier some other Boomers, cycling to the Boom in the North of the Pyrenes.

Finally we reached our "Promised land" Spain. It's easy to have a healhy lifestyle at prices like 0,45 €/kg Nectarines.

Only some of our sleeping places along the Costa Brava and the south of France.

On the way to Barcelona we had a short stop in Lloret de Mar. Horrible.

We are Sorry !

Because of the low batteries of our Phones, Cameras etc. and technical problems in Spain we aren´t able to upload pictures and continue our blog.

Don´t be worry, we try our best uploading in the following days !

Best regards from Barcelona !

Some more nice pictures !

Bienvenue a la France !

Before we left the swiss we met some nice swiss slackline pros, visited the Boom two years ago. They didnt only tell us about their Boom experience, they also recommented the best way to cross the border. 

It shouldnt be the last meeting this day.

Arriving the first french supermarket we couldnt hold our needs, because we ran out of swiss money we randomly met some Globetrotter from Germany.

Breakfast after sharing our "bed" with the heartly people from Germany, walking around the world with five dogs and a shopping cart (from the Rewe in the North of Germany).


Confused of the huge and giant french supermarkets our break extented.

The night we stayed near of a scary forest with a lot of animals.

One day later we were glad of making our first 1000 kilometres.

As a reward we found a really nice sleeping place.

Difficulties with a new language

We didnt expect language problems such like our ones.
One example: Once a night we found a nice sleeping place in mid of a wealthy area directly to the lake of Geneve. Suddenly we were scared of a security man, being unable of speaking english. Only with hand signs he could make understandable that we have to leave the place in five minutes.

Two hours and a lot of security-cigarettes later we left and found a sweet bridge.



Nevertheless not all sleeping places were taken from us:

R.I.P. Garmin :(

We lost a good friend in the floods of the Aare, we never understood him completely but we learned to love him.

enjoying the hot summer in the Rheintal

Cycling through Switzerland !

Switzerland, a country full of rain, storms, floodings and soldiers.


That`s why we weren`t able to actualize our blog during the last days.
We cycled our first 500 kilometers in the last week so we have to hurry up to arrive at the Boom on time.


Although we had to fight with thunderstorms, heavy luggage and credit institutes we met friendly people, enjoyed nice sunsets and a lot of delicious cherries.

Day one - rainy day

We expected to start our trip at 6:00 AM at the first of july - Finally it became 10:00 at the second of July. Setting of at the famous Marienplatz in Munich, Germany our dreams came true.

 

 

After 80 kilometers of cold and rainy cycling we found a nice place in the wood where we could sleep.
