Day 6 Rottach- Egern - Innsbruck (90 km)

So that's how you generate traffic on a blog. Good to know, if I now knew exactly what caused the unusually high traffic (+100%) and could conserve it, or conserve the increase, yes, then I could live from blogging in 5 days. It's that simple, but well, who wants that? Can't be that crude every day without repeating myself...... In the meantime, all is well again, I have graciously forgiven my wife and she has forgiven me too, of course. So! Everything else is not important for me. How was the day today? I've never driven an alpine pass so easily, it was really easy. Up in the forest in the morning, then along the Achensee (nice there!) in Austria and down. Admittedly, approaching the pass from the other side would be more of a challenge, 16% over a few hundred metres. But my way back will be different, not sure which one. On the way I met my Danish friend from yesterday (I didn't mention him, my tent neighbour with whom I had been through a thunderstorm). There are no mountains in Denmark, are there? He pushed up every hill (I overtook him several times because I stopped for coffee many times this morning), but at his age (19 years) he still managed such a tour (Denmark - Turkey), hats off! There wasn't much else going on today, it rained from time to time, I wouldn't have needed my rain gear for that, but if I have it with me, why not put it on and sweat? Then I rolled into Innsbruck quite unspectacularly and met up with Stephan in the evening, who is now a professor here and has developed so much. We reminisced and refreshed the years we hadn't seen each other. There are people you don't see for years and then you resist them as if not a day had passed. Same here, there was not 5 minutes of "strangling". God, I have forgotten and repressed a lot, Stephan sometimes told me stories from the past that I didn't even know anymore, this Raloh from back then was a completely different person. Oh, and we talked about chemistry, I've forgotten a lot by now, especially things I never knew. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, talking a bit more about chemistry. Innsbruck is a very nice city, I like the people here, they are very nice, but they have a quick tongue. I like. So I had a long evening, in this sense good night.
