Quickly told today? I left later in the morning, I didn't have far to go. Have me first brought up to date with Moon Knight (one of my absolute Marvelfavs, because he has more problems, as solutions, so well known). Yesterday I have already given me "Battle of the Realitystar", yes I'm doing well at the moment. Well during the day I either die of a new disease (today it was pneumonia / Covid, (the heavily coughing hotel employee last night)) or my bike crashes virtually right under my a&&. That swings so in the half-hourly rythm in my head through. Well, disposition (hypochondriac) and upbringing (what can happen, will happen). I know everything already, no drama. So about 10 o'clock I came off and then also the street filled with cars from 11 o'clock on. There is a convoy of cars next to you, no break. But, (be sure to watch the video) the drivers overtake with minimum distance, no better maximum distance. They drive completely to the other side of the road and when there is oncoming traffic they brake and do not overtake. Blinker is also set, cell phone has also no one in the hand. Dear Pippos, worldwide and especially Italy, just cut off a slice of consideration here. Would not hurt. So it ran today first 45 km, clearly also down the mountain. At the beginning I had to screw a bit, handlebars had shifted, because of the brakes I should also look, still it goes, but rather I pick up a "normalo" too much, readjust the saddle and and. Had yes time. Then shortly after 12 o'clock I made lunch break, then it went back up towards Andorra. 500 meters of altitude on 25 km, nothing dramatic. Actually, however, the valley is a wind tunnel and so I had to kick, because of course I had headwind. And then once again a real border crossing, no controls, but a border crossing and suddenly I was out of the EU and the country zone of my mobile phone provider. Was not far to the WLAN therefore no data volume booked. The soul of Andorra, of course, I can not feel within a few hours. However, it is a mountainous small state between France and Spain, many banks here. Can you draw parallels to Switzerland? I don't know. Why so many people were on the way to Andorra became clear to me quickly. Shopping! The bottle of Wiskey (or cigarettes) cost here in comparison not much, gas is also relatively cheap and in the supermarket the meat shelves are bulging. For a younger 'version of me it would have been paradise here. Today I look at the prices of cheese (expensive) and think to myself, damn I have to stock up here for Easter. So the life is just. In this sense, I'll close for today, have a nice evening and Putin, just resign off before someone does it for you.
