The third (and last for this year) time on the road on behalf of the Lord 😎🕶️. Tour test for the TVE.

The many "pointless" photos are for memory and documentation, some of them I'll delete again. The detour to the campsite snack bar was to refuel the tester 😁 and is not part of the tour (minus 1km).

Harald and I checked the route for April 12th today.
Thick fog in the Miriquidi and zero views. On the other hand, we hardly met anyone, and it was wonderfully quiet. Now all we need on April 12th is good weather and friendly hikers!
