Köln 13 October 2018 I went to the city center for a bit of sight seeing. On the way to the center I found this cute ‘book shelf.’ On the main square I visited the big Dom of Köln Inside there where a lot of painted windows, but this one stood out because it had no painting only beautiful colors. On the way back to my host I walked over this manhole cover. Another one for my weird…
Dormagen – Köln 12 October 2018 My day did not go quite as planned, Julia my host is a dentist and I have pain in one of my molars. She was so kind to take a look at it. Even though it was busy. They took an x-ray and said one of my molars is infected, but because it was busy they did not had enough time to do it. So next week I have to go again to a…
Neuss – Dormagen 11 October 2018 This morning I woke up in my tent on the river Banks of the river Rhine. I made breakfast, which was actualy the leftover from yesterday: macaroni with haxenfleisch. It was beautiful weather. Just when I left I met an middle aged man, who was a local and he sad that I should take a small path on the left and not follow the asfalt road as my navigation said. And he was totally…

Labbik – Veen via Xanten 5 October 2018 Today this song cheered me up during walking. “FleaMarket” improvisation from Wintergaten I left quite late, because it took a while before my tent was dry.

After this I packed my bag, I left from the home of the family that I had stayed…
Kalkar – Vynen (Xanten) 3 October 2018 Today it is the Day of German Unity (German: Tag der Deutschen Einheit). When I started walking I saw a marten on the road. Unfortunately for the Marten there was no unity for him. Wen I left Kalkar I passed by a goos farm, fields full of them. The smell was pungent and strong. As I continued my journey the road let into a forest, onto a hollow road with step sloop. This went…

And it looks like this: I think the Brie cheese is very wanted in Kleve, because they put special anttheft chips on it. Unfortunately the cheese didn’t taste that good. The way from Kleve to Kalkar is pritty straight and long. Halfway I stopped at…
