Jim & Lisa’s 2019 Tour

A hard day of cycling, but amazing scenery and sunshine! After a quick breakfast, we hung around Tanja’s flat to charge my phone which failed to charge overnight. On the road at 8:45, and in Liechtenstein by 9:00. We used an ATM to get some Swiss Franks as both Switzerland and Liechtenstein don’t accept the Euro. Our ride through Liechtenstein was only about 4 miles. Crossing the Rhine River we entered Switzerland. We had a steep climb which gave us picturesque views over the valley of Liechtenstein and back toward Feldkirch. We continued to Samstagern riding along the Obersee and stopping at The Brewery Factory in Jona. A beautiful ride over a wooden walk bride led us to the south side of the Obersee/Zürichsee and a 2 mile climb to the Krüsi. Caroline offered us some sparkling water and we cleaned up as Caroline offered to do our laundry. A great dinner of a tofu/vegetable/lentil mixture and chocolate cake was eaten in the patio overlooking the valley surrounded by the Swiss Alps. We had fun talking until about ten with Caroline and her husband Marcel. 61 miles/4,300 ft.Leggi altro
