We need to talk
Ich hab jetzt extra einige Tage gewartet mit dem Rant. Aber der Hass wird nicht weniger. Kartoffeln sind halt einfach ekliges Pack. Und Berlin/Brandenburg ist halt stolz drauf, nix zu k枚nnen und nix auf die Reihe zu kriegen, das kommt dann noch on top. Manchmal w眉nsche ich mir, ich h盲tte immer ein paar fiese, hungrige,…
A sad loss – goodbye, old friend!
Last week, my track pants that I bought 22 years ago in Sydney left me. Apparently, the material was weak. Weak! Weak! Weak! Not adequate for my farts. I’ve tried to save you with staples and duct tape, but to no avail. It’s a cruel world. So, goodbye, old friend. You’ve been part of my…
Whataboutism?
Looking at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, lots of people have written (are writing/will be writing) clever stuff about it. I’m asking myself the question: How is this different from the 2003 invasion of Iraq? That was also a sovereign country which was attacked and invaded by foreign powers. Why were none of the countries that…
Morning New Disease
Sometimes, it’s easier to find a quote than trying to describe things with your own words … . So, fucking Sars-Cov-2 finally caught up with me, despite all precautions. Fuck you, government, for not protecting me sufficiently. Anyway, I had all three shots, am relatively fit and healthy, and it still hit me like a…
Boots and Braces
Ich denke, es sollte ein Gesetz geben, dass jedes Blog mindestens einen Beitrag mit dieser 脺berschrift haben muss. Ich hab wahrscheinlich 100 馃榾 . Fuck me. Was passiert so? N眉scht viel. Jeder Tag, den man in Berlin/D verbringt, 眉berzeugt mich mehr davon, wie schei脽e das hier alles ist. Ist aber auch nicht neu. Zum Geld…

Section 12: San Sebastian – Playa La Guancha – San Sebastian
Final bonus leg of our trip! A pleasant stroll just a few k along the coast, across two smaller ridges, will get you to Playa La Guancha. Shortly before you decend to the beach, there’s an overhang to the right, perfect spot to rest, eat the food you bought at the pasteleria, and take some…
Section 11: Alajer贸 – Barranco de las Cocos – Playa de Santiago
Woke up in the morning, looked out of the window, and saw the neighbours’ cat staring back at me. Looking very hungry and expectant. Bad luck, my friend. 馃榾 This was a relatively short and purely downhill section, so nothing compared to yesterday’s labours. The descent through Barranco de las Cocos is nice, lot of…
Section 10: Chipude – Igualero – Impada – Barranco de Guirimiar – Alajer贸
Overall, this was probably the best leg of our trip. A great mixture of challenging trails (especially the final climb up to Alajer贸), fantastic landscapes and views (especially Barranco de Guirimiar), a wonderful cottage to stay at in Alajer贸, and a bit of adventure. So, to get one thing out of the way first: If…
Section 09: Chipude – Fortaleza, Garajonay – Chipude
As mentioned before, Chipude is a great base for tours to the parque nacional, Alta Garajonay etc. So we did a nice little round-trip that took in two great peaks: The mystical Fortaleza and the highest peak on La Gomera, Alta Garajonay. The rainforest in the area around the peak had burned down a couple…
