We went around 8:45 and were going on there at half past ten. At half past six, we have put ourselves on the way home, that's about 8 hours hike with breaks of course. It is estimated that we hiked 15 kilometers. We have crossed a river several times (which was, inter alia, the reason for the wet feet) and have up and down repeatedly set back 400 meters. In contrast to Germany (or at least to the hiking trails in the Palatinate Forest) the roads are dirt tracks only and not as wide as a road. Sometimes it went up very steeply, making it almost borders on climbing. But it's great to meet such a challenge and it feels great at the end of the day. I think that I will do that more often.
Finally, more good news! I just got my last assignment given and written my only test before the holidays. I finally have free time again! Yippie. Saturday's competitors are already happening on our epic road trip to explore the North Island. That means I'm two weeks away and then sign up again to tell with viiiiel and lots of pictures.
