In Sankt Peter, but sadly we missed the monastery tour so had to be content with a look at the little church.
Saturday 25 August 2012
Dropped into the http://www.veloplus.ch/ store in Basel today. Fantastic! Why hasn't Sydney, with 25 times the population, got anything close?
Saturday 25 August 2012
In Basel for the morning so a bit of shopping (hmmm... brot und kuchen!) & look about. Nice, clean, efficient: Swiss!

@miketomalaris many TDF champs who came before Lance were probably not substance free, so why stop with him? Get them all? #bloodystupid
Thursday 23 August 2012
After some very active days this morning's ride to Grosse Scheidegg was a struggle. Lucky there were views to enjoy!
Thursday 23 August 2012
These guys must be stalking us, pretty much exactly what we did yesterday, right down to trail walked & restaurant! http://touch.chicagotribune.com/... 
Wednesday 22 August 2012
Fantastic day: hiking at Schynige Platte, dinner in Lauterbrunnen & quick look at Grindelwald. All with amazing views. Pics will be coming!
Wednesday 22 August 2012
Final destination of the day is Grindelwald. Think it's safe to say we saved the best 'til last & timing was good! 
Wednesday 22 August 2012
Dinner at Hotel Oberland. I have slab of pork wrapped in bacon on rösti, all topped with herb butter stuff. Yum! 
Wednesday 22 August 2012
Looking down the valley, over the roofs of Lauterbrunnen. Then a quick look at it's famous Staubbach Falls.
Wednesday 22 August 2012
Train ride back down to Wilderswil. Same views but different. Not that you could get bored of looking at this!
Wednesday 22 August 2012
Hiking on Schynige Platte. Amazing! Just a short one today, but would love to return & continue all the way to First!
Wednesday 22 August 2012
Views on the train from Wilderswil to Schynige Platte... not your average morning commute!
Wednesday 22 August 2012
A misty start to the morning looking down over Lake Brienz & Interlaken.
Tuesday 21 August 2012
Great day! Morning cycle round the lake, arvo paddle on the lake. Find mobile roast chicken stand (yum!) & relax!
Tuesday 21 August 2012
Just got back from cycling round Lake Brienz. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!
Tuesday 21 August 2012
Good morning Switzerland! Another beautiful day starts in Interlaken
Monday 20 August 2012
Laying in the tent watching last light on the mountains... A group of Swiss folk singers walked by in full chorus. Bit of a special moment.
Monday 20 August 2012
Arrived at a rather warm Interlaken. Tent up in shady spot so time for a snooze then ride or dip in the lake? Hmmmm, decisions, decisions
Monday 20 August 2012
Another beautiful picnic spot for lunch, this time by Lake Thun.
Sunday 19 August 2012
Lac de Mauvoisin. A dam if the tunnels & wall don't give it away How much better would it be without those though?
Friday 17 August 2012
From today's ride: End of the road above Verbier. Or rather where it becomes gravel a short way below Croix de Coeur.
Friday 17 August 2012
Morning views from the balcony here in Verbier. Hmmmmmm... 
Thursday 16 August 2012
Despite our apprehension, @aglogan did OK on the accommodation front Evening view from the balcony in Verbier
Thursday 16 August 2012
Enjoying drinks in the Verbier sun while waiting for the access to the accommodation to show up... no rush
Thursday 16 August 2012
Part way up the road to Verbier... Looooove the mountains
Thursday 16 August 2012
In a rather overcast Montreux for lunch & a little messing about. Great weather if you're a... well... have a look
Thursday 16 August 2012
Stopped by Montreux to see some jazz. Erm, I mean have lunch by the lake. View & free WiFi almost making up for outrageously expensive food?
Wednesday 15 August 2012
Down on Jucker Farm. Enjoying huge slice of cake & apple juice, which was superb despite looking like dirty water!
Wednesday 15 August 2012
These pick-your-own-leave-some-cash flower fields seem to be popular in a few European countries. Brilliant!
Wednesday 15 August 2012
Drive & short walk up to the Hochwacht tower. Beautiful day, & view from the top was quite good as you would expect!
Tuesday 14 August 2012
... and a good night was had by all! Catching up in Zurich. Plus the fantastic ribs that came earlier. Yum!
Tuesday 14 August 2012
Pratiwi enjoying Switzerland... somewhere near Alt St Johann.
Monday 13 August 2012
Sunset in Holzleiten. About as good as we've seen in the mountains... there are some things the coast is better for.
Monday 13 August 2012
Evening walk near Holzleiten. Very nice, but sadly the light was poor so a chance to mess around with HDR
Monday 13 August 2012
Lazy day so just a short drive to check out the Fern Pass. Pretty nice here, huh?
Sunday 12 August 2012
This morning's ride: random route from where we are staying in the Alps. Nothing famous but so beautiful. Love it!
Saturday 11 August 2012
Just arrived in Holzleiten (Austria still) and here's the view out the front of the building. Hmmmmmm...
Saturday 11 August 2012
A few random shots from the road in Austria. Shame about the clouds, but you get the idea... a beautiful place.
Friday 10 August 2012
Cloudy ride today on the Grossglockner. 7° at the top where I arrived in short jersey sweating like a pig. Nice!
Friday 10 August 2012
Got home from today's ride to find Pratiwi had prepared a light lunch which we enjoyed on the balcony. So lucky!
Thursday 9 August 2012
By the lake shore in Zell am See, then a bite to eat. Lake, mountains, beer, food... what more could you want?
Wednesday 8 August 2012
Back down by the lake. Time for some to enjoy coffee & cake!
Wednesday 8 August 2012
Above the village... it's sometimes worth walking up random staircases without knowing where they lead!
Wednesday 8 August 2012
Part way up the cliff above Hallstatt we find the church Maria Ascension. With the world's most scenic graveyard?
Wednesday 8 August 2012
Up on the hill in North Hallstatt. You know - the one where all the tourists take their photos. Wonder why?
Wednesday 8 August 2012
The square is about as 'downtown' as it gets in Hallstatt. Yup... it's a small place, but perfectly formed.
Wednesday 8 August 2012
Ahhh... so this is what it looks like when the sun shines! By Lake Hallstatt - spectacular!
Tuesday 7 August 2012
Anything better than returning from day's 2nd ride to enjoy a cold beer & see your countries clean up on the Olympic track? Yes: KoMs too
Tuesday 7 August 2012
Well - I tuned in to the Olympics to watch track cycling but.. that Zonderland dude on the horizontal bar was worth seeing. Un-be-lievable!
