Fine & sunny, 11-20deg. Last nights room with a view, "dinner" which consisted of bread, cheese, cold meat (well we were in a Monastery) & a sweet, plus a cold breakfast this morning cost $257.41. The Nuns and hired help were very friendly and welcoming so no complaints from us. Brekky wasn't until 8am so it was 9:20am before we rode out. A very quick ride down the mountain started the day off on the right foot (pedal). We continued along the shores of La...

12-20deg, fine and sunny with a little cloud in the afternoon. Left the motel at 7:35am in brilliant sunshine but a cool 12deg.

Not far after leaving the shores of Lake Zurich we joined another, Walen...

Although we are paying $175 a night for a room, that does not include breakfast so we go out for it. Lovely place Switzerland but be prepared to dig deep into your pocket if v...

14-28deg, fine and sunny. Apart from a delayed flight out of Hervey Bay, (due to "late arrival of aircraft, loading issues & airport congestion in Brisbane" dam near a full-house of excuses) which almost resulted in us missing our international connection, the trip went very well. A380 double-decker Airbus on both legs, Brisbane - Dubai - Zurich. Took us about an hour in a quiet corner of Zurich Airport to unpack and assemble the bikes, load up, change into o...
