day seven: lunch break in a walnut plantation

in this picture, you see our very first actual “lunch break” which lasted more than 15 minutes. after 8 days of biking, we started to feel that we didn’t quite consume as many calories as we should, eating mostly muesli bars all day.

that day, as we drove through lots and lots of walnut plantations, anton remarked “haha, ‘wine country’… all we can see is apple trees.” from that point on, he only made very general descriptions of the vegetation (as in “trees” or “landscape”). :)
