Today we tried out 34 km around Zaragoza to come together and get to know each other a little better (or “hacer piña” [form a pineapple] as the expression goes in Spanish).
By the end of the day we were pretty exhausted, but happy.
We also used the day to cover the many practical aspects: the first aid kit, how to best take care of our feet, the European health card, PCR tests before leaving and on day 2 of arrival, waterproofs, distributing ferry tickets, decorating the van, coordinating with the media for the leaving event in Bilbao, etc.
It is definitely not going to be a holiday, it will be difficult, but worth it.
