I like big hills and mountains. As @h4nnes put it: "every climb is nice: prepay for next downhill"

Todays hills where small, but there where many of them. An endless series of small bumps that take your energy but don't give much back downhillwise, as you are already at the next ascend when your muscles have just relaxed from the previous one.

The night before, the long predicted rain had finally started to come down - and it came down impressively, it was raining in heavy gushes the whole night while i was snuggly sleeping in my tent - i love rainy nights outside! During the day, the rain had turned into a mist that wets your skin and blinds your eyeglasses within minutes, there's no cover under hoods and caps, as this kind of rain doesn't fall, it floats in the air. I didn't even bother to get the camera out.
