7 Day Balance

Now we have been on the road for about 7 days and with the knowledge that there is a lot of time ahead, we approach such a journey completely differently. During a two or three week vacation, you want to reach your destination as quickly as possible, experience a lot and still be able to rest. That is then all very compact and often overloaded with events.

We do not have a direct goal. We have a travel route that we roughly follow. But that is not necessary. And we have no time pressure. So this time we can travel and experience completely differently.

After we traveled several kilometers and spent very emotional evenings at the first two stops, we quickly noticed how the tension and stress of travel preparation caught up with us. Because at first a wave of exhaustion spread. Simply pure exhaustion. Less so for Ronny than for me. I could only sleep.

In addition, the very cold temperatures of the first days and nights, sometimes down to - 9 degrees Celsius. So that we usually snuggled into bed early.

Half a year off! We only really became aware of this here in Croatia. Let's see when this knowledge becomes a feeling.
