Europe 2014 – Siena Pre – We Ride to the Top of the Hill in Chianti
Timeline: October 6th – 10th On the way back to camp from the Apple Store on Tuesday we stopped in at the small town of Monteriggioni. We parked in the large lot at the bottom of the hill and walked up to the town, stopping to enjoy a gelato in its main square, then walking […]
Europe 2014 – Annemasse/Geneva/Annecy – The End of a Great Week and Start of Our Last Month
Timeline: September 25th – 30th Lisa Neddam had contacted us via email in Bulle to let us know that Adrien’s situation had not improved and they would have to decline hosting us in Geneva. We scrambled again for lodging, this time arranging to stay Friday night at an Ibis Budget property, the Annemasse, on the […]
Europe 2014 – Munich – Welcome Kim and Marty (Updated with Pictures)
Timeline: September 18th – 19th We packed up camp that Thursday morning and drove back up through Munich, pretty much following the path we took to get to Thalkirchen and then crossed the Isar and found our way to the Sheraton Arabellapark. Kim and Marty had already checked in and he met us down in […]
Europe 2014 – Munich – We Ride, We Drink Beer and Are Glad to Be Here
Timeline: September 15th – 17th Our plan for riding would be to follow the Isar north one day and south the other to see how far we could go in either direction. A beautiful day greeted us with blue skies, warm but not too hot temperature, and little or no wind, perfect weather for riding. […]
Europe 2014 – Vienna – A Good Day’s Ride and a Little Night Music
Timeline: September 7th – 10th Determined to ride the next day, Tuesday, we conferred with the girls next door. After having ridden their bikes from Frankfurt, they were up each day for biking outings in and around Vienna. We asked them about places to ride and they confirmed that the island near camp was the place […]
Europe 2014 – Cesky Krumlov – We Ride and Then We Ride Some More
Timeline: September 3rd – 6th The next two days (we decided to stay one more night) would be devoted to enjoying Cesky’s beautiful outdoors and some predicted nice weather. We’d also take advantage of our warm and dry indoor conditions making use of the very slow Wi-Fi (with good coverage I can load a blog […]
Europe 2014 – Berlin – More Rides and More Sights
Timeline: August 16th – 24th Over the course of the next four days we’d devote two of the days to bike riding and two to sightseeing. Our rides took us along pretty much the same route, northwest out of camp along the canal, following the bike signs as we went. Our second go at the […]
Europe 2014 – Berlin – We Ride, Get Lost, and Find Our Way
Timeline: August 16th – 24th Putting into action our goal of riding more, that Tuesday we saddled up and rode east along the Saatwinkler Damm canal towards the center of the city. A blue-sky day with a bit of a chill (it would be cold our entire stay in Berlin) it was good to be […]
Addendum to Last Amsterdam Post
Given the length of the last post and the number of pictures, and the incredibly slow, intermittent and unreliable wi-fi we have here at Camping Paradijs in Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic, I didn’t include the two maps of our bike routes. Also, some folks don’t care about the bike stuff so they can immediately delete […]
Europe 2014 – Amsterdam – Edam, The Disneyland of Cheese
Timeline: August 9th – 15th Keen to continue day tripping, we set out for Edam and its famous Wednesday cheese market the next day. Located not far from Vliegenbos, the drive didn’t take too long and as we pulled into the outskirts of town we were directed into a grassy parking lot already more than […]
