We trekked for 29 km (18 mi) and we both feel it--hence a short blog. Little intermittent cell service in this village of 900+. Pilgrim-priced lodging ($6.50/person) and food store for dinner--great picnic stuff (big jar rolled marinated herrings, bread, Edam cheese, fresh tomatoes, cold beer---WOW). Life is good.
Couple of pics show the trail. At one point we ran out of trail, finding a dead end at a waste-high rapeseed field. We fought on through waste-high grain and weeds grabbing at my sandals to make me fall--what to do??? We persevered but slowed our pace to a crawl. Then PocketEarth showed a nearby trail that rescued us (mind you, all maps were loaded onto the iPhone back home in California--no cell service needed!). The last pic shows us on an overpass over the A4, an "interstate" traversing Central Europe.
