Travel day 90, Europe day 89.

As I write this post, I’m in Frankfurt am Main to conclude my experiment of 90 consecutive days of journaling during my time travelling in Germany and Austria. By the time these words are unleashed, I’ll be in Vancouver with the “modern magic” of travelling west across the planet, back over the big eastern pond.

As I look forward to begin a new “experiment” (experience), I’ve created a summary page, including links to each log or entry.

Some numbers

Total walking distance: over 880 km.

Total number of walking steps: 1.1 million.

Daily average walking distance: just under 10 km.

Daily average number of steps: 13-thousand.

Average distance per step: 0.78 m.

Average number of steps per 1 km: 1283.

Number of World Heritage Sites newly visited: 12 in Germany, 1 in Austria.

Vienna totals in 36 days: 375 km, over 460-thousand steps.

I’ve spent a total of over 100 days in Vienna over the last three consecutive summers.

I bought online an Airalo 90-day 50-Gbyte all-data eSIM, but used only 22 Gs, with ubiquitous WiFi in all places I stayed, as well as decent WiFi on Deutsche Bahn long-distance trains. I had no issues setting up the eSIM in Vancouver and arrival in Frankfurt, and aside from some intrinsic network reach and access in Europe, I had no problems over the 90 days.
