Keep going...

Today we went high up. The day started at 9.00am when we took the bus to the starting point. From Torfhaus, we hiked 8.5km (with an elevation of 350 meters) to the highest point of Brocken. We had great weather today and had a lot of fun! Even though it wasn't necessary, I took my backpack filled with stuff to test how I can handle the extra weight. I must say that I am very satisfied with my backpack and I hardly felt the load on my back. The only annoying thing today was that we had planned to take the train back down, but it would have been too expensive. So we had to walk the 8.5km back. Now we are relaxing in our hotel room, eating pizza and watching Harry Potter, after a total of 32500 steps. This was probably my last test run before the Camino. I am really looking forward to the time and the experiences that I will have. Until then. Your Philipp!
