I can't shake off this restless feeling of constantly needing to be productive and not being able to celebrate inactivity...

'Man, I really feel like having a coffee', I thought to myself and pressed the button for the water pump at the kitchen counter. Almost nothing happened, only a faint buzzing sound could be heard and a few drops escaped from the tap. The hunt for the problem began...
Had I wired something wrong or was the water pump (bought used on eBay to save money) already broken?
Long story short... according to my wiring diagram, everything should be working. For some reason that has not yet been clarified, the voltage regulator is not compatible with the charger, which meant that my onboard battery was empty. Easy solution: rewiring and recharging, done!



And there it was, the desired coffee. Of course, I could have simply gotten water from the sanitary area of the campsite, but that would have been too easy.

Afterwards, a little trip to Feldkirch and a suitable dessert was also found.


Sunday is a day of rest, but not in terms of sports. We went up towards the three sisters.

Monday morning at the end of the season at the campsite:

Refilling fresh water for the planned crossing to Corsica on Wednesday evening:

Looking back on the past few weeks with quitting my job, subsequent visits to public authorities, technical preparations for the bus, equipment, bike, as well as moving out, handing over the apartment, everything (almost) went perfectly. Nevertheless, small things without any apparent objective effect have a strong emotional impact. These individual cases occasionally take the upper hand and I often think to myself 'Of course, something that can go wrong, will go wrong'. In summary: Everything is fine, except for my still swollen knee :-x... unfortunately, I will have to take a few days off.
