Welcome. My name is Jonas, and together with Chispita, my bicycle, I embarked on an adventure that many would consider crazy. Crossing Europe from Spain to Denmark on two wheels, traveling some 3,000 km without detailed plans, without knowing where I would sleep each night. I traveled with my own tent and cooked for myself. Every day was a new challenge that tested not only my physical endurance, but also my deepest fears, my ability to live with uncertainty, to decide the path on the fly, and, above all, to listen to my own intuition and embrace the unknown. But this wasn’t just a journey; it was a constant test where every mistake and every success took me further than I ever imagined. Stay and discover how this route changed my life forever. And above all, I hope my trip motivates you to take the first step toward achieving your own goals. Good morning. Hey, it’s getting really cold. I’m here listening to “Natural Mystic” by Bob Marley. Check this out. Yes, everything’s nice and cool, cloudy. Yes, I’ve decided to continue cycling. Hey, Fred and Alexandra told me that if I wanted to stay another day, it was no problem. They gave me some food, since today is Sunday, and I didn’t realize that things aren’t open today. I have some food and all, so they gave me an apple and some cheese. Let’s see if I can find a bakery to buy a loaf of bread. And that’s it, we’ll see what day. Left. I think it’ll rain today. It will bring its own challenges. Here are the birds, eating this animal. There was like a dead otter and the birds were eating it. Honestly, wow, what a stench. Nothing, it’s starting to rain. Yes, I think I’ll have to put on a raincoat. Yes, yes. I think I’ll put it on in the next town just because. I put on the helmet one to keep my head dry. I’m wearing my feet and rain pants. Yes, you can see it from here. But I’m going to put on a raincoat now when I get to the next town. The worst thing is that when it rains, you kind of want to reach the roof, and you kind of start pedaling, maybe at the wrong time or with more labored breathing and your neck more like this. So, nothing, it’s just water, bro, just water, Jonas. Yeah, I ‘ll put on the raincoat now anyway. Oh, it’s cold today. Yeah, I think I’ll get out the winter gloves, the thick ones, because everything’s getting cold. We’ll see. And you’ll say, it’s just a little bit of water. Oh, holy of holies, he said. Dana, Dana there on the mountain, greeting my Danita. Yeah, I had to call Holy of Holies. Give me patience because I don’t have any money. It was something like that. Oh, I put on the rear light, the flashing one, the red one. Visibility isn’t bad on the street, but hey, even a bike like mine loaded down, who doesn’t see it? Well, I was just thinking, right? Why does the rain have to stop us ? Yes, sometimes when there’s a lot of it, it becomes unsafe because you can’t see the road or you might slip, and the truth is, you have to be careful with that, right? But yes, yes, what I was saying in the other video, about the battery dying, right? Yes, my schooling was, I think, the rain and the cold, Berlin, the city of Berlin. I remember I was delivering pizzas. Ah, one day without gloves, I couldn’t press the brake because it was so cold on my hands, right? And Copenhagen has also been a city that has taught me, right? To live with the cold, the rain. So, it’s hard, it’s a challenge and uncomfortable, better with sun, of course, but hey, in the end you keep going, right? And that’s it, I’m going to eat these cookies and we continue. Today is actually being a good day, yes, because it’s flat, bad because I feel wet, not so much on the outside as on the inside. Uh, the whole route was pretty straight, next to a lake, with no more headwinds. Uh, yeah. Now, in about an hour, I think I’ll stop for lunch. On top of that, well, the rain will tell me when to stop, right? Because I think it’s going to fall between 1 and 3 in the afternoon. It’s going to be quite a bit of water, let’s say, about 1.5 mm. Uh, let’s see if it falls or not. That’s another thing, because sometimes the application is you look at one, you look at another, but in the end, when it falls from the sky, that’s when it falls. And nothing, uh, Yes, the truth is I feel like eating that little cheese that Fred and Alexandra gave me and that little piece of, I don’t know if it was cold meat with the baguette. Ohh, how delicious. Anyway, let’s keep going. And there I was, under the rain, very cold. Each pedal stroke was difficult, but I kept going. I knew this was also part of the trip. Pure life, pure life. Ah, I feel alive. Tired and hungry, but alive. Warming up too. [Music] Well, uh, here I am cooking. I’m going to cook some soup today, one of these stewed farmers’ soups , and here I’m eating the cheese. And then this was also given to me, uh, yes, by Fred and Alexandra. So I think I’m going to save it for tonight. Yes, now I’m going to have a hot soup. I think so, to warm up. I’ll heat up some water for tea or coffee later. And yes, I think it’s going to stop raining around 4, so, well, maybe I’ll have a coffee later, but yeah, everything’s fine. It’s a bit cold, so I changed my clothes to be okay for lunch. I’m drying things here a bit and we’ll continue on the route. So I’ll warm up my hand, dry my glove, and eat a hot stew. Oh, yeah. Warming up. Well, here I am transmitting frozen again. Yes, a bit cold. I ate, but my clothes are kind of cold, yeah, kind of wet, so I think I’ll go 19 more km. I saw a town over there, right? Yeah, here I am under a little roof and it’s 2 in the afternoon. Uh, the truth is that I do think I’m going to keep going and hope that further north there’s a little roof, a little piece like this, right? Yeah, really. And well, we continue there with little desire, but we keep going. It’s raining [ __ ] . They say it’s just rain, right? Let’s go. Oh my God . I’m entering this forest. Everything is mysterious. That night, tiredness was getting to me. I saw a town hall with a small roof and approached. It seemed safe. I cooked something quickly and went to sleep, very cold but sheltered. The next morning, the sun was timidly peeking out. After the previous day in the rain, seeing it rise was an enormous pleasure. Well, good morning. Here with my coffee, things already half-packed, and I have to tell you that I just cried with joy at seeing the sun rise, knowing it’s going to be my companion today, knowing it’s already warming me in some way, right? That it’s helping me dry out my little house, my tent. It clears my head. Grateful. Grateful after yesterday’s day of pure rain, you know? The joy that seeing the sun can bring. It’s cold; the truth is, maybe it’s one degree Celsius, and during the day the sun will be with me, so I’m happy. Now then I’ll look at the route, have breakfast, and we’ll continue north. Today is already Monday on Spotify. I have the new weekly discovery playlist, so all good. The sun came out. Yes, blue sky. Oh, God. Even though it’s cold, thankful for this sun. My God, yes. Yes, today I think it’s going to be, yes, also about 60 km. Let’s see what the roads are like, since eh from here to Angers, both yesterday and today and tomorrow, there is no cycle path, everything is like paths. I try to [ __ ] the smaller paths, let’s say. I’m passing through a fairly solitary area between town and town and there are quite a few farms, horses, animals. I’m bringing back the fear of the dog from yesterday, right? And I’m kind of scared of everything today, right? Even the birds when they start to fly. Nothing, it’s facing my own fears, right? Knowing how to control situations, right? At every moment. Uh, I’m actually looking forward to getting to Angers to get back on the bike path, the Francette that goes towards the coast, towards Caen, and be able to stay on the bike path. Look, speaking of dogs, I don’t know if you see two Dobermans out there loose. I don’t understand, honestly. I was just talking about it and look, nothing, I saw them and just got off the bike directly. But yes, uh, they have collars. Anyway, what are they doing? No, two Dobermans loose. They’re in a village, but oh well. Oh, God, today is going to be a day of ups and downs. God, I told you, the day of the puppies. There, it seems. Yeah, it’s eating a little bird. I think I’m going to change the route, to a wider route and not go into the mountains because this area, I don’t know, a strange feeling inside, right? Call it intuition, call it what you want. I don’t know, the area is very desolate, lots of countryside, but the house feels forgotten, right? Very peaceful areas, but at the same time, like that, right? 1000 km. I’ve already done 1000 km, folks. Oh, wait, it’s clearing. I can’t believe it. 1000 km since I left home. My first 1000 km on a bike. Strange sensations. Sunny day, farmland, strange area. But anyway, we keep moving forward. I can’t express what I’m experiencing in words. Words are insufficient to express the courage, the fear, the love, the kindness, the security of a roof. We keep moving forward with strength and courage, honestly, because it’s not easy, but I feel it’s worth it and it’s being worth it. 1000 km. It seems the road is closed. Let’s ask. Okay. Uh, I think they’ve closed the road because they’re cutting down trees. Oh my God, where did I get myself into? I curse. Ah, yes, brother. Well, life is a challenge. My God. Good morning sir today, is everything okay? I’m Spanish. I’m Spanish, cycling from Barcelona. Impeccable. OK, thank you. Thank you sir . Oh, I’m [ __ ] here. Ah, they let me through because otherwise they would have made me take a detour, and it would have been really complicated, honestly. I mean, it would have taken me about 25 km or so. Ah, yes, I’m not grateful at all that they let me through, but uh, this little hill to Lidl is costing me. Oh, I’m so eager to get to Lidl. I’m going to eat everything. The happiest man, the leader. I love this Lidl . I bought some couscous. That afternoon I was accepted by Isabel through Warm Showers. The day brought its physical challenges, tough climbs, and accumulated fatigue. Who said this was going to be easy? But knowing that a home, a shower, a warm place to sleep awaited me gave me calm. In the midst of the effort, that changed everything. Here we are on the train. Well, good morning. Here I am at the Chloet station, heading toward Angers. Uh, I spent the night there at Isabel’s house, uh, with Samuel and Ulises, her son and his partner. I was able to fix the brakes. Samuel fixed the brakes because they were almost loose. I was able to clean the bike and the transmission a little. And nothing, I’ve been suffering for two days, honestly, with the roads, uh, with animals, with dogs. Yes. And the truth is that they’ve been two complicated days, and now heading toward Angers was going to be complicated in terms of traffic, lots of trucks, and for safety reasons, well, uh, I preferred [ __ ] the train. It’s 55 km, and from there I’ll take the road, the cycle path, uh, the Francette. Very happy for Isabel, really, I felt great. I did a load of laundry with the washing machine itself, right? I’d been cleaning by hand since I left home, and being able to clean with a washing machine was wow. Yes, we actually had dinner. I was delighted to be able to be with them, speak in Spanish, and nothing else. Fixing the bike was also a huge step forward. Sometimes on a trip, you have to make decisions, and they’re not always easy. Something inside me told me that if I took the train, I was betraying myself, that I should cover every kilometer by bike, as I had intended from the beginning. But I also learned that not everything is black and white, that travel isn’t just about pedaling, but about being present and knowing when to stop, when to let go, when to choose your destination. That morning, after thinking it over calmly, I decided to listen to my intuition and got on the train as the landscape passed by the window: forests, fields, small towns. I felt at peace; I felt like I had done the right thing, because in the end, the most important thing isn’t following a perfect plan, but learning to listen to that inner voice that, when we truly hear it, is never wrong. Now it was time to cross Angers. It wasn’t a big city, but it had its advantages: traffic, noise, total concentration. Still, I was happy. The sun had come out, and that completely changed my mood. Soon I would begin a new stage: one of France’s most famous cycle paths, the Via Francette. And something in me felt that the best part of the trip was yet to come. Didn’t you want a cycle path? Here, a cycle path, all muddy. So, I’ve already left the city, or I’m leaving, and now there’s nothing but mud on the cycle path. I hope it’s not like this all the way north, but oh well, glad I’m not sharing the traffic with you. I really liked the decision I made to [ __ ] take the train today. Look at this. It’s such a muddy mess going forward. I hope it’s not all like this. Come on, I have to get off my bike and on top of that I washed it today. I washed it today. Oh, God. It was so nice today. The sparkle is all clean. Yes. It’s taking mud now like pigs here. Ah. Oh, this feels like quicksand with the weight. Why did I get in here? Ah, yes, Jonas, eh, you were looking, [ __ ] again. You were looking to get out of the traffic, the dogs, I don’t know what, blah, blah. Here. Look, there’s a ball of mud here that won’t even let me move forward. Look at the condition of this bike. I cleaned it this morning. Oops. It can’t be. And everything down here is full. This little path is there, I mean, I don’t know what it’s like, but I think it’s flooded, and there are puddles all the way to the road, so, I’m going to clean this area with a stick. It’s pure mud, mud, mud, mud, mud, mud. Luckily, it’s not raining today. I can imagine this happening with rain. Look, today I have my new friend, the stick’s name is Wilson, who helps me get the mud off the wheels, right? Off the fender. He gets stuck there, really hard, and it won’t let me ride. I was laughing to myself, because I was thinking, is that a French bike path or a cow path? A cow path. It seems like 1,000 cows have passed through here, but anyway, they say it’s a bike path. Oh, God. It takes me about an hour to cover, what? 4, 5 km. Oh, I can’t. I swear. It’s just that every step I take on the bike makes me tremble all over, man. It feels like 1,000 horses have passed by here. Oh my God. Look. I mean, at least I have the river right next to me. Super beautiful, right? Foie. Calm flowed through me. I stopped to eat near the river in silence, in peace. I didn’t know where I was going to sleep that night, but surrounded by so much nature, I felt it clear. It would be wild camping. I trusted the path, the route, and that somehow the right place always appears. Looking at the little boat. [Music] The day is truly spectacular. Light sunshine, a bit of wind, but not much. I decided to take a bit of the route, let’s say, inland through villages. It was teaching me a lot, not only about places, distances, or maps, but about myself. I learned to listen to myself, to understand when to keep going, when to stop, and when to simply observe. I learned that you don’t always need to know the destination, that trusting in the present, in taking things step by step, is a more sincere way forward. The cold, the rain, the loneliness— everything taught me something: to be patient, to be flexible, to not cling to what I had planned. I discovered that discomfort is also a teacher, and that often, after fear, calm comes. The trip was transforming me, and although I didn’t yet know what, I felt like every kilometer was leading me toward a simpler, more honest, and more alive version of myself. Well, when I find a spot like this, I like to look at the compass, like, where the wind is coming from, or where it will come from at night. I check the forecast a little, okay? Yeah. Let’s see what ‘s up so we can position the tent somehow, right? I see the ground is a little damp now that we’re near the boats, but I think everything’s fine. Some men told me that this is a quiet area, so yeah, I’m going to be around here, I think. Good morning. Uh, nothing, I slept around here. Yeah, I have my things here. I have my things drying there and nothing, yesterday I was there on the little boat with Jean Paul, really great, super happy to have been invited by him to share a beer, thoughts. He was commenting, right?, what life is like a meter from land, because after all you are on the water, right? Living on the water. What is the maintenance of the boats like? and he explained a little bit. Well, I also had a Harley Davidson before and the truth is that it is super nice to share thoughts and ideas, right? Also with the voice of experience, an older person who lives a little in his own way somehow… Yes. And the beautiful thing also of human cordiality, right? Because at the end of the day… I’ve slept here for a bit too thanks to him. I spoke to him in the afternoon and he said, “Yeah, yeah, the area is quiet. And so, well, then he invited me for a beer and to spend a little while on his boat, which by the way is really nice inside and really warm. Uh, nothing, and the truth is that I slept peacefully, right? With that, that peace of mind that, well, I was sleeping next to him, right? It kind of gave me a certain security, you could say, right? So I rested superbly. Uh, I’m going to finish cleaning up. He invited me for a coffee and we continued north. Good morning Jean Paul, everything okay? [Music] And there I was starting my day. I felt very happy to have met Jean Paul and shared some time on his boat. How beautiful it is when a stranger opens the door for you and makes you feel at home. I’d never been invited onto a boat for a beer before. It was something simple, but very special. An unexpected, sincere gesture. The human warmth, The kindness of people surprised me more and more every day and reminded me that deep down the world is full of people willing to give without expecting anything in return. Good morning, sir, is everything okay? Good morning, I’m from Spain. Oh, okay. From Barcelona. Yes, yes, yes, it’s very beautiful. Yes, yes, it’s fine . All good? Yes, good, how good, and you? Good, good, I’m fine. Where are you going? Denmark.- Ohh, yes, yes. It’s very beautiful. France. It’s good. Yes, it’s beautiful. Yes, I love it. Yes. I’m going to continue north. Yes, good luck. Thank you very much and have a good trip. Same to you today. Beautiful day today. – Oh, yes. The sun, ohh, yes, yes, it’s incredible. Your dogs are beautiful too. Thank you. Beautiful eyes. Have a nice day. Yes, beautiful dogs. Wow. Yes. I stopped talking because yes, what doggies. They have beautiful eyes. The best thing about the trip, I think , right? Talking, connecting with nature. I’m already feeling pure gratitude now. I’m Spanish. All good? Yes, everything good? Okay. Where are you from? – From Spain and I’m going to Denmark, I’m going to Palestine, to Palestine? Ohh, where are you from? I live in Rhene, I went through Saint Michele and then Angers, ok, tonight ok. It’s nice going down. Are you going where? Ohh, well, northern France, Belgium , Holland, Germany, Denmark and then Copenhagen. Ohh, you’re crazy – well, you’re going to Palestine, right? Haha. So I don’t know who’s crazier. But you have a tent and everything, yeah, I have everything, the kitchen, the clothes – how many kilos? Ohh, I think between 24 or 25 kilos and then onward, 5. 5 kilos, yeah. And you? Yeah. What about you? You’re strong, eh? I’m eating all day. So are you heading to Palestine? What route are you going to take? Yes, the south of France, ok, and then the west coast of Italy. Ah. After Rome, I cross to Greece, Albania, and then I take a boat near Turkey. Okay. And then I’ll go all the way to Turkey in the south, and then I’ll take a boat to Cyprus. And then I have a boat because if I go to Syria and Jordan, uh, I have no chance of entering Israel. Okay. Because you have the stamp and the passport. Okay. Okay. It’s a bit far, but okay, will it be a long journey? Yeah, maybe a friend of mine will meet me in the south of France. Okay. He’s in love so it’s not certain. Ohhh hahaha I understand, nice. Well, uh, I just said goodbye to Luke, uh, a French man who is heading towards Palestine uh for inner, spiritual reasons. He has breathing problems at night. He needs a mask, I think, he told me, and well, he’s heading towards Palestine. The truth is that it gives enormous gratitude, people who are making their own way and to help others too, right? Uh, yeah, it’s very nice to stop. I was going to continue with the bike, but I said, “Why am I not in a hurry?” I’m going to talk to him because every story counts and every person is what makes you special, right? It’s listening to others and for me it’s unique to be able to be here listening to him in these 5 or 10 minutes that we’ve spoken and I wish him the best, honestly, for his trip. He’s three months into his bike trip to Palestine, so I’m going north. It’s… How wonderful it is to meet other cycle tourists, people who, like they pedal for their dreams, for a purpose, for something that moves them from within. I was touring those French lands full of life, wild animals, landscapes that remain in the memory and friendly people who greet without rushing and give smiles for no reason. The day was turning out to be unique and I was simply trying to be present so as not to miss anything. [Music] [Music] Now it turns a little to the left. I’m still on the route, it’s 5:20 and today I saw that the forecast for the night will only be 6 degrees, so it’s going to be a fairly mild and good night. So I’m thinking because right near all the routes there are these little waterfalls with these bathrooms. Look. Yes, right here. See? In this area like this. So they’re like some little steps that I thought maybe eh yes, when I see that sound of the water, but well, when I see it pertinent, well eh stop and don’t even put up the tent, I just don’t know how to sleep like this with the bivouac and bye. But anyway, let’s keep going. I’m going to do 5 or 6 more km and see what it’s like. Well, it’s a sunny and nice day. Good morning. Yes, I slept somewhere. Yes, everything’s clean, everything’s nice and tidy. I’m drying the tent’s things. And nothing, I already have the things here, I already had breakfast, I had coffee, and nothing, here yes, this is where I slept yesterday. It’s like a little waterfall there. Yes, I slept here yesterday, eh, I asked a woman about 2 or 3 km back and she told me this place and I said, “Well, go for it, perfect.” And I wasn’t going to set up the tent, to be honest, I was going to bivouac, but yeah, eh, when I saw the place I said, “Well, go for it, perfect.” And nothing, I set up, yes, I set up there and nothing, grateful. The sun came out, I slept well. Uh, the sound of the water, uh, it deafens you a little bit, more than anything, the thing is that you can’t hear the noises, whether animal, person, whatever, external to the sound of the water, you don’t have that much attention or listening capacity, I don’t like it and I don’t like sleeping near water, right? It’s somewhat relaxing, but oh well, that’s nothing, we continue heading north. Yes, yesterday I was looking at the map and I must have about 900 km left to get to Amsterdam. I was thinking yesterday, right? Like, well, maybe it’s like 12 days and it’s like, “Wow, I’ll be… Yes, still here in France, Belgium and then Amsterdam and Holland, right? Well, well, there step by step, but yeah, nothing, now I’ll pick up the things. I was writing and nothing and happy. The sun has come out. Yes, another nice day, well, and we’re moving forward. [Music] Wow. I just saw, I think it was an otter. Wow, there are two bambis. Yeah. Wow, beautiful. There’s a bird and it’s posing like this with its wings open as if to dry itself, so the sun hits its chest. Wow. [Music] I came to buy at Lidl, it’s always good. But look, it’s sold, the police came because I was inside and people started shouting, I don’t know what happened. Well, I already bought my, my things. The truth is that I’m well loaded. Buy, vegetables, snacks for the road, to continue. Well, uh, nothing, I already loaded everything. I have the 60% of the battery is from a charger, a power bank, so we’ll see how far we go. But maybe tonight will be the last free camp, and tomorrow maybe I’ll look for a place to sleep. Let’s see. Loaded with love. Pure fuel for the legs. This reminds me of when we were in Peru, with Francesco, my brother, next to the train tracks, climbing towards Machu Picchu. Yes, Aguas Calientes. What a rain shower we got. Oh, my God. Yes, it’s really beautiful when you go now; it seems like it’s got a few kilometers like that with the train tracks. Ah. We’re able to meet up with other adventurers. But the same in the mountains, you walk, but is it possible to reserve this little chalet or hostel, or do we need to reserve the next one or the other? How do you do that? That’s my problem, haha . Yes, the evaluation of time and kilometers. The only thing I have trouble with is the bike: the chain. Now, little Francette. Because you see them all. If they then turn the signs, the locals, they take them out or put them in a different direction. ohh no ___ yes wrong exactly the same with… this is not good, the same when you are on the bike, you go to the right, yes but it is not the way, it is the bad people, it happened to me recently Le morv morbon, this was in Compostela, I started with my credentials, with my bike ok le mor compost de venant de is a town, a very excellent city, very old, I’m the first, so I was going in the opposite direction, going up, but, oh yeah, so there… here I’m heading north. Uh, what north? No, nothing. I just met Katrine, a French woman who’s doing, well, she was doing the same route. We shared about 25 km today and nothing. She’s heading towards Paris and I’m heading north. Uh, nothing. I’m really grateful. Uh, yes, thanks for sharing the snuff, for giving me a little Nutella, for your time, for chatting, and yes, nothing really. I’m grateful to be heading north now and nothing. Tomorrow it’s forecasting rain, so nothing. I’m going to see what’s up, maybe sleep on a soccer field or whatever. So yeah, we’re still going. Every day I got more organized, packing up my things, getting Chispita ready. She was already a part of me. The trip was starting to have its own rhythm, and I could already feel that rhythm inside. If I slept on the soccer field yesterday, I came here to eat, I went up to the soccer field, I slept really well because it’s not like anything’s wet, so I was able to put everything away quickly. I came down here, had some coffee, had breakfast, and then I’m off because today I have 70 km ahead of me and around 12 noon it starts to rain and I want to go as far as possible, let’s say, right? To do yes, to get there as soon as possible and not get caught in the rain so much. Hey, I’m low on battery on both the power bank and the phone, uh, I’ve been accepted by a family in the north, near Caen, about 70 km from here, so great, since I’ve been wild camping for three days and I really feel like cleaning my clothes and taking a shower. Yesterday I met Katheline, a beautiful soul, a beautiful person with whom I shared the afternoon. A cycle tourist, on my way to Paris, she gave me a little bit of Peruvian snuff, and nothing. Yesterday, as I was coming back here on the road, I took a little snuff to connect with this essence of nature and the bicycle. She also gave me some money afterwards, which I’ll use to sleep one day when it rains, or to feed myself. Uh, I’m really grateful to her, and nothing. I hope the routes go well for you, my little sister. Oh, okay. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, sestra. Yes. Oh, look, happy birthday times two. I’m going to have a piece of chocolate for your birthday. Cheers. What a silly birthday for my sister. Yes, happy for her. Yes, today’s ride is for my sister, eh, because she’s always, always been there for the family, for me, eh, she’s always been a huge support and continues to be, and today’s ride, without a doubt, is for her because I love her so much. She’s an example to follow in perseverance and nothing, eh, happy, happy that she’s okay. So nothing, we continue the route and it’s for you, sister, for the sestra. Wow. I’m loving this area. It’s like super beautiful. Also, I’ve been going down like this for like 4 km, along the river. Oh, how lovely. What goes down, comes up. What goes up, comes down. Always the same. The truth is that I also like the climbs. Oh, oh. Ah, I feel more alive than ever. And we’re heading up, just in case a tractor is coming. [Music] Yes, the day is going well. I’ve done about 30 to 33 km. It’s 12 noon. Uh, I have like 10 km left uphill, let’s say. Uh, and then it’s all downhill, let’s say, towards Caen, where I’ll sleep tonight. Yes, there with Warm Showers. I love these rivers. Look. I don’t know if you can see them. Oh, they have such a lovely sound. [Music] Ah. Come on, Chispita. Come on, legs. Yes, come on. France. I want to get to… I don’t know, they say Holland is straight, right? Oh, I don’t know, but France is killing my legs. Oh, it goes up and down all day. Beautiful, but it goes up and down. You can do it, Jonas, the tiredness is in your head. Yes, there it is. The little hill ends. Ah. I stopped to eat some couscous with tuna, a carrot. Yes, very nice. A little bit of cheese. Oh, it’s nice. My God, this little cheese. Nothing, I’m in Swiss Normandy. I’ve already changed regions. I honestly hadn’t realized. I think I changed regions yesterday. Nothing, I’ve passed a couple of mountain passes. I’ve done 40 km, 42 km. And the rain is following me, I can feel it. And nothing, now I have about 30 km left to get to that place near Caen. I think I’ll see if I can stay there tomorrow. Rest. I need to do a lot of things on the bike and have the love for the bike and see the route. In a few moments I’ll take the Eurovelo 3, if I’m not mistaken, which already takes the coast towards Belgium. So, nothing, yes, I suppose that in two, three days I’ll be seeing the sea again. The light. Ah, it’s coming. Oh, okay . It has its own lights . Ah. Ah. I have about 15 km left, and today’s pedaling is for my family, for those climbs, for those descents, for that union that always keeps us together, especially for my sister. Yes, it’s an extra birthday today, eh, for the value of all that, right? Yes, for them the rain is behind me. I’ve been looking, and in an hour it’s starting to rain. There are 15 km left. If the road stays the same, eh, I think I’ll be able to get there without getting wet today. But anyway, whatever it is, it will be like always in life, with this little hill that welcomes me. I have nothing left, 3.4 km and the rain is coming in no time. I can almost smell it, so let’s hit it hard because I have 4 km left to get to the town and I think I’m going to have a good coffee. Yes. That one over there, that’s the little town where they’re welcoming me today. Uh, I have to check the app. Yes. Uh, its name and everything. What you see back there. That’s the rain. Oh, it’s been following me all day. Yes, the truth is that today I’ve done 70 km and it’s 3 and it’s 4. Really, today is a day to really do 100 km, but today we’re going to sleep indoors and take a shower. And shower. Yes. Jesús María and José. Ah, pure bliss. Wash clothes, charge electronics, and shower and shower. Oh, yeah. If you’re enjoying the adventure, subscribe and leave your like. You help me a lot with that. Thanks for being on the other side.
