The Sun
The presence of the sun makes everything better. The ice crystals on the windows looked more beautiful and they also melted faster.
The inside of the car warmed up fast and before the sun had climbed far above the horizon the solar panels had fully recharged my battery.
I even worked for an hour while still lying in my warm sleeping bag, reading two reports and writing comments through my phone.
And I loved the smell of my hanggliding harness mixing with the smell of herbs.
It's the first day I feel like I arrived on my journey and the first day that I'm actually cooking breakfast (potatoes and eggs) and I love the smell of it as well. With fresh herbs and cold juice there's really nothing missing.
It's also the first day I just enjoy being outside, standing in front of my car, reading the novel that my friend gave me, looking at the few clouds through my sunglasses.
And as if people can smell my happiness as well, one guy from the model airfield came to me already and offered me a place to stay. It's almost sad that this is just a short stop on my way to my next short stop.
But really, with the chirping of the birds and the warmth of the sun on my legs, this feels much more like summer than I expected. Maybe it's also the fact that many trees have leaves down here!
