//Day 80 /30-05-22 /Regensburg-Wintersdorf

The room rate included a nice breakfast. I left beautiful Regensburg through it still empty streets. Today would cycle direction Nuremberg, to be more specific to the only camping I could find within a reasonable distance direction home.I had found a camping some 15 from Nürnbergin the well known village Wintersdorf some 130 kilometers and 1200 meters of climbing away…..




I quickly left Regensburg urban area and rode the first 30 K through a beautiful and sunny river valley…hoping that the route would be like this until  I reached my destination. After the 30 K the valley was replaced by rolling hills for the rest of the day. Hills of around 500 meters in height holding fields, pastures, cows, small villages and very little people….I passed two (or three) bigger villages…with an Aldi, bar and bank….The scenery was not to bad certainly with the sun and big white clouds hanging above me. A lot of climbs though….always on separate cycle paths…


















The last 20 K was less fun. I entered the urban area around Nürnberg. Big busy roads, suburbs , Aldi’s, Burger kings,….and a lot of traffic lights to wait for…I found the camping which is not to bad, a reception, a small store…I planned to have dinner in the Camping restaurant but when I arrived it was closed. I was informed that Monday is “Ruhetag”….which I understand, everyone is entitled to have some rest, it would though be handy that this information would be posted on the camping’s website. Luckily the small shop had a supply of “the mother of all camping food”…….


Lessons learned :
  • Maggi is always there to help.
  • There is 24 cent additional cost per plastic bottles,cans,..you buy as a separate item on the bill. Smart.
  • There seem to be more Burger Kings then Mc Donald’s in Bavaria.
  • A lot advertisement for micro jobs.
Song of today : Hoppipolla-Sigur Ros

    Weeral een eindje dichter bij huis.
    Wel fotos met heel veel wolken maar hopelijk blijft het droog.
    Nog een goede verdere reis naar huis en veel groetjes

    vond het weer mooie foto's, mooie heuvels en dalen, hoop dat de ravioli gesmaakt heeft, je had misschien toch iets lekkerder kunnen eten als het restaurant open was, morgen beter.

/Day 86 /05 -06-22 /Halle-Gent (Home)

Pip the home-rabbit didn’t kill me. At least not yet, but I probably will as result of sleep deprivation. I learned the hard way that rabbits are nocturnal animals, during the night the Pip made a lot of noise drinking and scratching…Today a good rabbit is a rabbit in combination with prunes… After breakfast I left Hannah, Alec and Oscar around 9.00 and cycled to Dilbeek to pick up Maarten and Inge who would join me cycling to Gent. On the way to Dilbeek another friend, Jurriaan, informed me that he would join as well. For my last TBBCA cycling day the weather gods have foreseen most of the day rain  but eventually it was only the last 20 K that I needed to cycle in the rain. Not to to bad.  Thanks to Maarten leading the way we soon arrived in Schellebelle to say hello to another friend, Nico to have some refreshments and chocolate waffles….The last 20 K I cycled along the Schelde to home…I took the scenic route through the city center… and surprised the kids with my arrival…....

//Day 7 /18-03-22 /Bratislava-Komarno

Today I arrived in the sleepy bordertown called Komarno on the border of Slovakia and Hungary. The city has a Slovakian and Hungarian part (split by the Danube), the Slovakian part is mostly know for casino’s and XXX clubs based upon the posters on display when arriving from the Hungary, where I spend most of my time today.  This morning I left from Bratislava and crossed, after passing an area mainly consisting of apartments,  quite quickly the border with Hungary, when this happened was not directly clear to me (thank you Europe) except that when I wanted to buy food in a shop my euro’s were no longer accepted. I followed the Hungarian part of the EuroVelo 6, away from the Danube, most of the time I rode beside somewhat bigger roads on Europe sponsored cycleways. The cycleways are not the only infrastructure that are  sponsored by Europe, I passed new roads, bridges, industrial area’s all with posters contains a number in Hungarian currency and a European flag. I’m pret...

//the start

I n 2018  I ran from Ghent (my hometown in Belgium) to Santiago The Compostela in Spain .   An adventure which took 4 pair running shoes and 73 days of running to cover the 2700 km. The reasons for my Santiago adventure was the urge to complete a physical challenge (I could have opted for less healthy options to manage my  mid-life crisis), experience  the state of rural France after having seen a documentary on the topic and the need to disconnect from my day to day professional live.  During my trip I managed a blog with photos I took with my iPhone combined with personal observations on my day-to-day life as runner/traveller to Santiago. It was during this trip I discovered my interest in photography and shortly after my return I enrolled myself into the  Ghent academy for fine arts   to study photography. Around the end of 2020 I ...
