After nine days of walking
we are nearing our destination of Braubach. The trick here is to
stay focussed as due to tour booking reasons, we are booked for two
nights in Koblenz-one day short of Braubach.
A couple of prospects here.
Maybe I will give tomorrow a miss, rest up a bit and get ready for
life after the walk? In reality it is all about the journey and not
the destination? This is just a fun thing after all so why not have
a second rest day so I will be fresher for the events that I am going
to over the weekend?
No. It is really the
destination that I am seeking so it is very important for me to
finish the last leg and tick the completed walk box and pick up my T
shirt.
Well actually I have nothing
else scheduled for tomorrow so I might as well walk. The weather is
still good and warm so what could be better than a walk in this fine
part of the world?
And after 9 days of good walking, good company, hearty food, drink and conversation, we will leave the walk refreshed and ready for the next part of our busy lives. Australian politics rarely gets a mention as we all agree that we would not feed almost all of the current crop of people in that role. We often fall back to sport as a conversation starter, as a lot of Australians seem to do. Not tennis, not bike racing, not rugby but perhaps cricket. Family connections and events have been very well covered as has the fantastic countryside around the Rhine and the many interesting sights that we see as we slowly traverse this part of the planet. Some discuss business and business conditions and others relate events in their lives as they interact along the way.
This has beena great
experience and we all understand just how lucky we are to have this
opportunity to walk together for a few days of our lives. Where will
we walk next?
