I live in Burgos - it has unpredictably cold weather, even in summer. But it's a very nice city, glad you shared some of it in the video. Congratulations on all your inspiring bike travels.

I enjoyed it 💋💜🌟

Wow, what a place to camp. Wishing you both a safe and happy journey.

Thank you ☺️

The hammock is nice

Fantastic video thanks for sharing 👌👍

You were a lot happier in this video. Maybe the start of warmer weather had something to do with improving your mood?

A pretty girl in beautiful scenery got me here. Alec, this is your history too. I'm a pensioner in NZ and wish I had done what you two are doing, maybe in a van. Are all Germans fluent in english? When in France, very few people would speak english, which I thought was more a stubborn reaction than a fact. Thanks for the vlog, take care, land mines in Boznia are obvious.

I think most Germans below the age of 30-40 are pretty fluent in English. Above that, it’s a fewer percentage. But my lovely grandmother for example watches all of my videos and she speaks English. To be honest, after having worked with mostly French colleagues for 2,5years, I would definitely say most french don’t speak English that well (if at all)…there are exceptions of course 😊 thank you for that nice comment & greetings to NZ (it’s next on my bucket list!)

Eure Videos sind toll und ich bewundere auch deine Ausdrucksweise auf Englisch. Nachdem ich einige Bikepacking-Videos von Gravelbike-Fahrern gesehen habe und selbst erste Erfahrungen damit gesammelt habe, bin ich immer wieder erstaunt, was ihr alles dabei habt 😅.

Danke, ja jeder möchte unterschiedlich packen, aber eine für mich wichtige Erkenntnis ist, dass das vollkommen okay ist! Wir haben Leute getroffen die deutlich mehr und deutlich weniger als wir dabei hatten, trotzdem war unser setup für uns genau das richtige ☺️

haha, funny to think of Burgos as cold, it was 40 degrees when we were there a few years ago. Mike's kick stand on his bike broke on our journey as well. Great video, going to check out your journey, maybe something for us to do next year :-)

The temperatures were crazy! It had been 35-40 °C the week before there apparently!

€42 for 3kg is a ridiculously high price specially when compared to a specific postal service they have that takes your bike anywhere within the Iberian peninsula, including a new bike box, for €50. Also, when we receive things from shopping online they only cost about €10 from Germany to Portugal. Anyways, once again a very enjoyable video and yes, it can get very cold in these parts of the world and when you add the humidity, the cold goes right to your bones.

German post ist crazy cheap, so I guess it is just the other way around so expensive! 😬 we were super shocked too!

Wir staunen, saß es im Juni 2022 in Spanien so kalt war! Im Juli kam dann ja eine schier unerträgliche Hitzewelle, zumindest in Südfrankreich. Vielleicht lag dies auch auf der Seehöhe von Burgos etc.? Danke für euer freundliches und lebendiges Erzählen und die schönen Ansichten!

Wir hatten ca 10 Tage davor auch die schlimme Hitzewelle rund um Biarritz erlebt! Die Kältewelle hielt zum Glück auch nur ein paar Tage an, aber ja wir waren auch mächtig erstaunt!

🍀👍

It’s a shame you have persisted in wild camping when there is such a good infrastructure for albergues along the Camino and they can be so so cheap, it removes the issue with wild camping spots

We did albergues and absolutely hated it! It was horrible, except for 1 albergue, all the others were the worst!

Maybe they just prefer to be in their tent than a noisy dirty hostel lacking privacy. I hate staying in hostels never get a good night sleep either kids or drunks slamming doors or rustling plastic bags late at night or noisy fat pigs who keep you awake all night with their snoring. No, not for me.
