I have a queasy stomach today. I only have a banana for breakfast, then I lie back in the tent ⛺ and surf the internet (perfect WiFi throughout the site).
In the afternoon I cycle for another hour in the pleasant autumn sun.
As someone from Allgäu, I'm spoiled when it comes to beautiful scenery, but it's fascinating here too!
