My STUPKY hurt

and it’s worth it!

  • GR 221 – day 8 / 9

    Palma de Mallorca Monday, 4th March 2024 We wake up late. Jozef makes coffee in the moka pot that’s in the apartment, and we finish off the mini croissants we had for the trip. We pack our things and just make it for check-out before 10 AM. It’s still windy outside, but the sun is…

  • GR 221 – day 7

    Sóller – Sa Calobra Sunday, 3rd March 2024 22,3 km – total 186 km We didn’t wake up until almost 10 AM, because at 8 AM it was still raining heavily and the wind was howling. Jozef cooks the eggs he wanted yesterday—all six of them—in the room. That’s what I call a royal breakfast,…

  • GR 221 – day 6

    Puig de Maria – Mirador d’es Colomer – Sóller Saturday, 2nd March 2024 18,6 km – total 163,7 km This is exactly how we imagined all our nights on Mallorca—clear skies full of stars and a comfortable 11°C. We’re not eager to get up, but I catch a glimpse of the beautifully colored sky at…

  • GR 221 – day 5

    Refugio Tossals Verds – Puig de Maria Friday, 1st March 2024 37,2 km – total 145,1 km The weather forecast was accurate; it rained hard and was very windy during the night. We had to move our sleeping setup and gear because they were getting wet. Just to be safe, we covered ourselves with a…

  • GR 221 – day 4

    Deià – Refugio Tossals Verds Thursday, 29th February 2024 30,5 km – total 107,9 km Ah, it’s day 4, which is always critical for me during hikes. Jozef wakes me up at 6:30 AM, saying he’s well-rested. I, however, am not—it was a horrible night, but I get up anyway. In the dark, I change…

  • GR 221 – day 3

    Font de s’Obi Shelter – Deià Wednesday, 28th February 2024 36,3 km – total 77,4km There was another storm last night. I woke up to the sound of water pouring into the reservoir, but I was warm and dry in my sleeping bag. We get up at 6:45 AM, and I pack quietly while Jozef…

  • GR 221 – day 2

    Sant Elm – Font de s’Obi Shelter Tuesday, 27th February 2024 33,7 km – total 41,1 km Although there wasn’t a storm, it did rain. During the night, I had to move the backpacks because water was dripping on them from the roof. I forgot to turn off the 4 AM alarm, but I quickly…

  • GR 221 – day 1

    Our first destination in 2024 is Mallorca. It wasn’t really planned, but the flight tickets were cheap, and we assumed it would be warmer than in Slovakia, though that might not be the case. We’re going there for a bit of nostalgia. I was there six years ago for an Erasmus exchange, and Jozef was…
