Day 1 Review – Nice but for the Walking

Who does this sort of thing for fun, geez? I think I surprised a lot of people by not going down with heat and keeling over to die in a ditch somewhere, but I can only manage a sideways hobble now. It was ok up until the last five or so kilometres. I would like to say I looked at interesting things but the scenery doesn’t really excite you when you’re labouring for breath.

We’re staying in an abbey in Vauhallen tonight, and we were the only visiting guests that weren’t into Jesus, but dinner was included and it didn’t get very preachy so it’s all right by me.

This is our place for tonight. L is looking sad but then it’s her fault anyway, so don’t feel bad for her

Tonight’s offerings for a thirsty traveller were half a bottle of red to share amongst five. I know you can’t expect much of a bar in an abbey but still. Anyway they cleared out and I got a taste but it wasn’t enough to make the board for the wine bottle count. Went to three religious sites though, so there’s already an uncomfortable skew towards churches and not brasseries.

There was barely anything left, had to be finished

Lovely spot though, with lovely people. Everyone else vanished for mass so we’re trying not to move to excite any of the leg pain while listening to the chickens in the field over.

And tomorrow will be an even longer day. Dear lord you’re meant to ease into crap like this.
