I can already give a reassuring note: The post will be much shorter than yesterday ;)
(We also ate at home... so a lot of material got left out)
In the tourist hiking guide, there are several hiking routes and today it should be the one on the other side of the hill (where we live). Since I didn't feel like standing at a starting point again for 20 minutes and not being picked up and looking for the right direction, I left the car and just started walking. I already knew the other side of the hill/mountain from the arrival; so it should be findable..... and it was.... just silly that it wasn't the starting point.... so back again.
Unfortunately, we had to hike up the hill again and those who know me know how much I love walking uphill. But here, the coastal landscape is so wonderfully diverse that I don't even notice when it's going uphill.
