To be honest, this is the first morning from uh the day when I departure from my home that I can actually eat breakfast in warm sun. It was usually so cold like my skin on my hands was entirely like dry and and I was constantly cold and right now it’s just wow luxury for me. I can like peacefully sit enjoy the sun my hands are not cold and I can eat the breakfast. This is wonderful morning truly I am super happy. Okay, it’s time to start the day eight. We’re moving towards Germany for the flood ground again. I will reach the small city I was riding through yesterday. I said I will give you the name. So the name is Cheskiop and I have to return there to go in my chosen direction. Very peaceful place. Wonderful. The funny thing I constantly ride around this mountain like on the other side if I’m not uh incorrect is the liberates. Yeah. So, as you know, I didn’t have much opportunity to play my ukulele, but today I decided to play you one of the a little bit of music that I created for myself. Wild horse racing with the wind would be no words, but I guess you will figure out the story by just the music. [Music] Yeah, sorry. And the end was up. But something like this. I’m just a mature so you know. But legs up and stuff. Yeah. See you next time. It got flat. I must say I enjoy myself today. It is so flat finally. Uh I reached down from the mountains. That was like so hard. And now it’s just flat, flat, flat, flat, flat. And makes me very happy. I really enjoy it. It’s a very nice change for me, for my legs, for my body, my mind. Yeah. And it’s getting warmer. I know I already said it, but for me it’s a big deal. It’s still kind of cold to do some stuff outside, but uh I hope that the temp uh temperature will start to grow day by day and soon I will be able to do more of the stuff I wanted to do uh because it will be more comfortable. Right now I’m going hunting the uh supermarket few kilometers like uh 1 and a half kilometer and I will hunt for some food in this modern jungle. A little lunch break. This milk is not as good as the B one, but it there was no B in the shop. I was so I still me. Well, And basically that’s it. The tent is ready to sleep in. And I have a new challenge. Of course, it looks like there is a bit of problem with my power bank this time. So the problem is that even though the power bank is connected to the solar panel, it don’t want to load itself at all. The lead is showing uh the initiation of the loading is not filling in. And I have this problem for about like 2 days now. And I am a tree and I am constantly leeching power from the power bank. Of course, I help myself with uh loading my phones directly through the the solar system. Uh but I not stopping so often. So I could not use the power bank and this is kind of a bit of the danger because well I constantly leeching a little bit of power from it and I cannot load it back. So I guess I have a plan for today. Today we’re going to hand power. I have few places in mind. I think about public library and uh cargo station. I hope I can connect somewhere there to power because it actually looks very bad. I don’t know why I cannot load it. I think uh sometimes there was worse uh worse than today and yesterday and and the power bank loaded itself a little bit yet um right now it can. So the plan is to find power for today. Wish me luck. Welcome in the city. It says Kalipa. They have here beautifully decorated town houses. I made decision to stop by for a nice meal. Right now I’m already out of Tescalipa unnecessary. I wasn’t able to load my power bank because the library was closed. The station didn’t have any was very small and didn’t have uh any possibility to connect to power. I also wanted to buy a cocoa from this uh vending machine but I wasn’t able. I just don’t know it the machine doesn’t didn’t want to cooperate with me. Um, but I fed myself. There was a kind of very nice uh city. It had very nice buildings, although it was very empty. I don’t know if that was because of the hour I was there or not. But anyway, the problem with the power bank still stays. Uh right now I stop for a moment because my ass hurts and I’m using this opportunity to uh let my other phone that is for the navigation to get a little bit of power from the solar panel because no other options right now. Uh I will have to try to resolve this issue maybe in another town. Right now we are going to the Dresdon. It’s uh around 80 kilometers from here but the mountain starting again. also riding this funny bike road and it’s like almost an auto strat for bikes like express road or something constantly. I think that uh people from Chra Republic, they have this culture of riding bikes and they have those little gardens and so-called uh where you can buy something to drink and stuff. They’re always close to the bike roads. I think it’s part of the culture and I just love because I think that probably if you break something I love sorry I love because I think if you break something in on your bike in Czech Republic probably everyone will be able to help you fix it like uh this is just how I feel it like everyone rides the bike everyone has the bike so probably everyone knows how to fix basic things in it it’s just paradise for for cyclist. Anyway, I will rest here a little bit more and move forward. Here is the nice place I found for my camp. But tomorrow the real problems will start. Day 10 I have a diarrhea. I don’t know if something is off or if the world want to tell me something because this is the second time I go to some restaurant and another day I have great issue actually not other day like the the night maybe maybe word wants me to not go to restaurants while I’m on this trip. Who knows? I I will have to verify it. But the third time, but only next week. Today I spent entire day in the tent. Obviously, I didn’t move forward at all. I felt very weak and decided that there is no way I’m moving. I had a little bit of water and some easy food. So, right now I’m rationing it. Um, it’s around 6:00 p.m. I guess. Probably can hear I’m bit of exhausted. I hope tomorrow I will feel better and at least to the point where I can I mean I must I must move because I will be running out of water. I need to buy some fresh fruits and and and stuff to drink. But yeah, today nightmarish. Although I sleep a lot and lay lay down a lot. So, uh, I’m still alive. That’s the good point, I guess. We see about tomorrow. Morning. Day 11. I am still sick, but I am slowly packing up my stuff. I’m still waiting till the tent will dry itself a little bit more before I pack it. And no matter what I have to start moving towards some shop, buy some juice and waters. I hope uh that slowly slowly my organism will start to get better. I’m not sure yet how I’m going to be able to ride my bike. Maybe if I just going to be walker next to it. We see it also depends on the terrain. I’m a bit in the mountains, so it might be not easy. But there is something like will of survival. So the most important thing is to survive right now. Yeah. So I reach a small village like 3 kilometers from the place I was. Thankfully, I was able to make some small groceries of light food for me and orange soft. To be honest, I don’t know if I will be able to move forward like this. I feel very weak. But I will sit here for for some time and drink what I have to drink. Maybe eat something. I also have to take a look at the food I have. I started to asking question what mistakes I have I could make to put myself in this situation in the first place. One was well maybe I ate something incorrect in that restaurant. The second one the grapes I buy uh the grapes I bought uh two days ago. I didn’t really like put attention to clean them properly before I ate them because I was like on the road so I was just like yeah be fine. So that could be the cause or also stop reading about how you keep your food when you’re traveling. And I realized that the packages I have are actually not uh designed to be holding food. And when there is warm coming on those packages, they can release toxins to the food that is inside. And I will probably have to throw some of the stuff because I ch for me and I will have to find a way to properly store my food. I’m starting to think about coming uh about making things more often like less keeping food, more fresh food every day because this situation cannot happen again really. I am still learning a lot but I am that kind of person who experience but it’s Take off. because I felt really bad. I decided to rent a room for a one night. So, one of the good points of me renting a room is, yeah, we have 100%. And of course, I’m loading rest of my devices, too. I wash myself. I fed myself. And and I’m resting. I lost a little bit of my voice, I hear. But yeah, I’m starting I still feel tired like my organs feel tired but starting getting back back my appetite. Actually, I bought too too much food anyway. I was like in the shop and I want this, I want this, I want this. And I’m just one day here. So there is no way I’m going to eat it all. I probably won’t be able to take it with me. So I will have a nice big breakfast tomorrow morning and the rest I will just leave. Um I must learn to control those impulses. I hope that when I properly when my body will regain balance I will start feeling better. And I see how I feel now. I’m not sure if I’m going to be in my full power. tomorrow actually. And that’s it. And we see each other tomorrow. Day 12 morning. Hello. So, as expected, I feel I’m feeling a little bit better, but still obviously not perfectly. My voice didn’t return and I still can see on my face that that my organism is not fully well. Of course, I can also feel it inside. Plan for today is to first of all uh reach aa for medicines, some electrolytes and stuff. And then to move to Dresno, I think I will actually enter the Dresno because uh there are automatic cloud romats there and I think about washing some of my stuff to be a good thing. We see how I will feel while riding. I hope it’s going to be better than yesterday. And after that, uh, I will search for some camp spot or decide what to do further. I have to first see how I’m going to be [Music] feeling. Oh, and here I found an automatic machine with ice creams. Just take a look at that. Fantastic. Truly. So slowly I’m starting feeling a lot better and I’m drinking electrolytes. So uh I think it helps. I don’t think I will be able to reach Dresno today. I will rather search for some nice spot to uh take my tent and put myself in the tent and rest a little bit more. But wow, this place is wonderful. Due to feeling weak, I chose to place my tent earlier. here and spend rest of the day resting. Morning. Day 12. No, 13. Yes, today is the day 13. I’m still in my tent in my pajama. Slowly, slowly I will start packing up the stuff. It’s beautiful morning. It’s super warm. It was super warm night. I very much enjoyed it. Look what a beautiful place I found. I eat my breakfast here. I can’t wait for the days when I will be able to swim in some lakes or rivers. Currently, I think it’s uh even though it’s warmer is still a little bit cold. Yeah. Also, from the signs I saw, it’s probably not possible here. Like forbidden. It’s forbidden to swim here like almost everywhere. I actually noticed that um riding across uh river Waba there is very little access to the river. Like it’s very hard to find a place where you can approach the river actually put your feet in there like I don’t know swim if you want to. Of course, the river is not the cleanest, but like still it’s a earth water, but water like this, you see it and you just want to jump it. But while you you really cannot according to I guess the owners owners see I put the static incorrectly and a little bit wind blow it away. Recently, I take a look at the map. I made a nice circle and I didn’t get close to Spain at all. But doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter. The journey is what it matters. All the camping, all the days spent in nature, all the adventure, this is going to be the thing that will stay with me. The Spain will come in its time. That’s what I can say. Look and a beautiful swan. He don’t care that there is forbidden to swim in here. He wants to swim, so he swims. How cool would it be to have a camp on this little island? Here we swim across the river. I’m lucky for the animals today. Feeling continuous in the water of the rivers. I could really do a swim. It’s warm. The battle of two gangs happened moments ago, but I wasn’t lucky to record it. Finally, we enter the dress. Then I found a place to make a laundry. After washing, we take a small ride around the town. This is me from my tent. I’m outside the Dresno and the sad news is I am actually not fine. I am still not fine there. I thought uh I am fine because I felt well kind of half a day today but later closer to the evening I start feeling again something wrong in my stomach. I don’t know what it is if I’m repoisoning myself. I like take care of my water bottles. I um put them into hot waters to make sure all possible bacteria is destroyed. I clean myself properly. Um I didn’t eat anything strange like all the food that I wasn’t sure about I throw throw away. So for now it’s hard for me to figure it out. I stop filtering water and take it from the rivers or stuff. I decided to buy water in the shops. But maybe I don’t feel like it helps or if this is just some kind of actually flu I catch and that’s it. It’s hard for me to figure out what’s wrong. I am kind of tired of this. I’m seriously starting to think about going home for a couple of days and maybe see the doctor or something and because I I don’t know right now what is wrong with me and why I’m not starting to like actually feel better like why I felt better and then suddenly I again feel something wrong with my stomach through this night. I’ll have to think about it and make decision if I stay or if I go. And to be honest, it’s not that easy to travel when you kind of sick. It was more enjoyable, of course, when it’s when when you feel good. Yeah, I have to rest now. I wash my stuff, so that one a plus. But yeah, right right now I’m feeling tired. Need a rest. So day 14. I am still sick. Um, I decided today morning to why I’m waiting 8 a.m. for autic to be open here in Germany. uh to precook my everything like even the water filter, all the bottles, all the um stuff I have for my food and and find the solution, destroy it anything that is poisoning me because I don’t want this journey to end and I want to feel good. So I have to find it. I have to find it. I have to kill it and move forward. Oh, and by the way, I slept with the cows. So uh I started moving towards Magdabborg but I actually think this is bad idea. I really feel bad in my belly and my family starting to worry and I feel like I should actually come back home for a couple of days because I don’t know what is wrong with me and I cannot just go on the tabs from aigonsible to like continue when I see that there is something really really wrong with me. Uh, no matter how much I want this journey to continue, I have to take care of my health first. I have to go back to Poland, my home, and see what is wrong with me. And only after I fix myself, I can think of starting the journey towards Spain once again. That’s why I think I’m going to go back to Dresno right now and take the train back home. And that is actually what I did. Few hours later, I was home. As a consolation, I got dumplings. Yeah. So, I’m back home. Um, I’m still sick. Soon I will see the doctor to figure it out what exactly is wrong with me. Um, I will take this next week to rest and [Music] to to clean my stuff to to ask the question and search for answers. what what what go what I did wrong um what I made some mistakes to be honest I am quite sad this is not how I plan it wanted to be across Germany and my path to Spain right now but well the life stopped me and and the life for now is more powerful could be for some reason that the life stop me and maybe my statement was too bold. Maybe I wasn’t ready or maybe I just got bad luck and that’s it. Or maybe this is just part of the adventure. Like without stuff like this, the life wouldn’t have a great taste, doesn’t it? I mean, I could live without it to be honest. I could really but yeah it is what it is. Um I’m trying to stay positive as much as I can. So I will use this time like I said to rest and also to make some maintenance on my bike. I notice few things that could work better. So I will take care of it and I will have to think about my future decisions. So you will definitely hear from me next week what are my decision what I’m deciding to do for uh in the future and how I am if if my sickness is finally gone or not. I hope it will be gone in as soon as possible because I am so tired of it. Truly it’s it’s exhausting. Um but yeah um let’s let’s catch up next week and and I will have some answers for you. As for now, thank you for watching my videos. Thank you for being here. Thank you for your lovely comments and for all your support. I am truly grateful uh through all those uh very heavy for me days when I could read the comments and those nice people to chat with um it helped me actually to move forward. But in the end I of course needed to make um rational decision to stop for a moment because something was clearly wrong. Thank you anyway very much truly. Um, and have a lovely day. See you next week.
