Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Namche Bazar - Lukla
As we set out from Namche Bazar to Lukla, the rain showed no signs of letting up. Thus, the trails became wet and slippery. We were happy to be already on our way back to Lukla, especially since the forecast for the following days did not seem to improve.
Donauradweg: Zimnicea - Ciocănești
Zimnicea - Giurgiu - Comana Nature Park - Ciocănești
Today, I was happy to discover that supermarkets in Romania are open on Sundays. This morning, I had to get creative with breakfast by using sparkling water in my cereal since I had run out of milk. Needless to say, I quickly realized that still water would have been a much better choice!
The road to Giurgiu was relatively quiet, with light traffic for most of the time. After that, the road briefly turned into a two-lane highway until the turn-off towards Bucharest. Every 50km I took a break in order to stay in rhythm and not have to stop too often. While shopping, I always topped up my 6l water supplies. In the Natural Park of Comana the butterflies, which are very numerous along the Danube, were very trusting. By the evening, unlike the past few days, I had to put up my tarp again when a thunderstorm rolled in.
Gravel Seerunde
Schöne Gravelrunde um den Zürichsee. Rückfahrt entlang der Sihl und durch den Sihlwald.
Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Lobuche - Gorak Shep
The trek from Lobuche to Gorak Shep was both exhilarating and demanding.
As we made our way along the rocky trail, stunning views of the Khumbu Glacier unfolded before us.
The landscape featured a mix of rugged terrain and breathtaking mountain panoramas of the surrounding peaks.
Upon reaching Gorak Shep, we had reached our goal. Unfortunately, the weather remained foggy in the following days, limiting our mountain views to only brief glimpses of the majestic peaks.
