Cloudy with sunny patches and half a dozen spots of rain, enough to don our rain jackets, but then it stopped of course, 15-25deg, 61km, av: 15.6km/h, (tot. 684km). Wandered for ages looking for an appropriate restaurant for dinner at Mulhouse last night but couldn't find anything we fancied. We both agreed that we should have paid more attention during our respective French lessons at school then we could have worked out what was on the various menus on display....

Fine and sunny, 16-27deg, (feels like 31) 39 km, av. 15.4km/h (tot 623km). A 2.7km ride saw us out of Sw (for good this trip) and into France via an unmanned border post. This is also the last time we'll see Germany, albeit from across the Rhine. We'll miss the German/Swiss efficiency but we won't miss the Swiss cost of living or the need to juggle two currencies. I've read that one in eight Swiss are worth a million Francs. I reckon they need every one of them t...

Fine and sunny 7-26deg, but by 9am it was 15deg, 25km, av 13.5km/h, tot 584km. Greg decided to recon the route for tomorrow and he was glad he did as it got fairly complicated because of never ending roadworks. He made it to France and confirmed the way to Mulhouse before crossing the Rhine into Germany for a ride. Wendy visited the Pharmacy Museum which covered the profession from the Dark Ages to the 20th century. She then took in the Anatomy Museum, but due to...

Fine and clear 10-24deg, 0km av 0km/h (tot 559km). Off the bike today but plenty of walking in this sprawling city of 195,000 people, Sw 3rd largest. If you count the people in the German and French suburbs (this is where the 3 countries come together) the city has a population of 830,000. It is believed that the Celts first settled the area B.C, then the Romans established a fort here in the 1st century. A little later, 1460, the Uni was established and the Town...

Cloudy and dull at the start clearing to a fine, clear, sunny day, 10-24dg, 51km av 13.4km/h (tot 559km). The low average can be partly explained by our tendency to wheel the bikes through towns and other places of interest. Had a nice tail-wind all the way. It's funny but at BS we were only 50km from where we started in Zurich. Talk about taking the scenic route! Because of the short distance we did today we took our time over brekky and were away by about 8:45a...
