I like this tree very much. It touches me every time I pass it on my walks to work and back "home" to my holiday home in Schliersee. Nice walks I enjoyed whether in the sun or rain. And rain we have had more than plenty in the past weeks. LOTS of rain. As those of you who followed the news will know. Three good things I am leaving behind: the sweetest ever cats (I will miss then terribly), the very nice staff at the "Medius" gym (in the end I went there only a few times) and pizzeria "Al lago" with yummy pizza and its very friendly and welcoming boss Luigi. Definitely a place where I would become a regular.

"The end of the road". Yes, I have reached the end of the road here at Almbad Huberspitz. After almost five months I am packing it in and returning to Berlin. This is not the right place for me. In a week's time I'll be on the train back home. But not for long. A few weeks before packing my rucksack and heading straight for the mountains again. This time I will not have a perfect plan (but as we all know plans are futile - mostly) because there is too little time. Surely it will be up to three months of walking, Italy surely and some England and Wales and hopefully Switzerland too. I don't know how far I'll get considering the problems I had with my knees and all. But I will definitely give it a try! Maybe you wouldn like to join me again on my journey, just pop in once in a while and see how things are going...
