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...

Fine & sunny, 14-30deg, 78km av 15.5km/h (tot 508km). Summer has arrived in Europe, although it did not seem that hot. Awoke to another brilliant morning and the sound of ravens and pigeons on the roof of the nearby church. Quite a change from the Rainbow Lorikeets and Galahs, etc in our garden at home. Good early brekky (6:45) and away by 7:45am. Our first port of call was the Rhine Falls. Although modest by world standards they are European's biggest. We vi...

Fine with some cloud, 11-22deg. As this is such an interesting area we had planned to spend an extra day exploring. Liechtenstein is a few ks across the Rhine and Austria is about 12ks further west. The bike paths are numerous and immaculate. Where there is no off-road path they have on-road paths about the size of a bus lane. However all good plans... We are both a bit poorly with some bug we picked up on the flight over so apart from a wander around the town an...
