In the evening, after a hard day on the road, I take off my "stilettos" in a wonderful gigantic basin surrounded by snow covered high mountains. The itching under the left small toe reminds me of the so called "athlete's foot" which for the first time seems to get hold of me too. However, already at the
first quick glance it becomes clear that it has nothing to do
with fungal disease: the joint grins at me through a quite deep tear. Then the itching changes immediately into a nasty stabbing and then ends in a knocking pain. Don't get any infection right now! The heat has softened my feet and I know this well enough. Healing? No problem, but not before Hokkaido. Then, when I want to type this message, I see that the keyboard has also got a tear across. Anyway, it still
seems to work. Well, the first wounds after a total of 1,400 km are however okay, aren't they?
