The third leg of the tour has started. It is a little hard. I spent almost four sedentary weeks in Iceland and I find the different tempo now difficult to deal with. But I’ll soon get used to it!

I have been strangely absent minded today. I forgot my reading glasses on the plane today. And my headphones. And something else on the hotel I spent last night in…
