My folks take turns in carrying the big backpack and sometime me, although today, my balloon helps me and it will take me far.<\/p><p>During a snack break, I see a girl, a bit older than me, riding her bike, with the shell hanging on it. It's the first time I see pilgrims on bikes. Hmmm, so this trail can be done by bike as well? Why didn't you say so, parents, as I would've taken my bike as well and it would've been easier for me this way.<\/p><p>-\"Yeah, marmot, for sure it would've been easier for us to carry both you and your bike when you got tired.\"<\/p><p>Well..Mamarmot may be right..<\/p><p>Every time we cross a village I am amazed by the colors around me, as there are flowers everywhere: at the windows, on the street, in the parks. I would like to live in villages like these.<\/p><p>As we move further, the forest turns into a tall yellow reed that slowly winds in the wind and I wind along with it.<\/p><p>It's so quitet out here I could just...pop!<\/p><p>Ohhh no..my balloon! That's it, I'm stopping here as I cannot continue without it.<\/p><p>-\"Come on, marmot, we'll search for a new balloon in the next village.\"<\/p><p>I don't want one, I want two! Just to make sure I have a backup in case it pops again.

Today I really wouldn't want to be in the bottom bunk bed!<\/p><p>After we explore the surroundings, we cook our own dinner and I enjoy a delicious pine marmalade with crispy bread.<\/p><p>Unfortunately we did not find any balloons, so for now I'd have to walk on my own two feet, as I cannot fly the balloon anymore.<\/p><p>We tuck ourselves in our spiky beds that creak at
