Day 5 – May 10th – Double Joy
“A lot of success” is my farewell wish to an experienced co-biker whom I met accidentally for breakfast.
“Not success, but a lot of joy!” is his response. So I decided to heed his wise advice. And had a double joy today.
First the nature
– incredible scenery
– the mountains were friendly to me and let me the European water shed at 1676 metres
– the valley of the river Lech surpassed all expectations
– equally Ehrwald, my today’s destination
Second socialising
– voluntary fire brigades let me use their air compressors and depicted their major mission last year when they saved a huge hotel
– canyoning enthusiasts borrowed me a proper screwdriver to fix a loose screw
– American tourist chatted with me about 100 things and shared the view it is a shame than only two over-aged candidates run for presidency
– an Ukrainian waitress shared her sorrows and details of her breakneck escape from the city of Chernigov
– a joking hotel owner made me laugh, and vice versa, when negotiating the price for the room
Net-net: A had a lot of joy today riding 102km and ascending 1200 altimeters
