Host: "I'm sorry. This is all we have!" 
*A standard joke in Indonesia, no matter how lavish the meal 
Yum!
Saturday 11 July 2015
Waking up next to vines is very nice too! Think we paid 5EUR for privilege & got a free bottle of wine thrown in! 
Friday 10 July 2015
When I say we've been getting the chance to park by vineyards, I mean: right next to them! Nice evening for it too!
Friday 10 July 2015
Bargain 7.50€ a dish for huge portions of great Chinese food. Got shots thrown in free! Lunchtime, but why not?
Wednesday 8 July 2015
Asked for pics of our 'home' in exotic places? How's a supermarket carpark? New Jag next to us sticks out more!

Random lunch stop. This part of Germany seems littered with charming little places like this (Haslach im Kinzigtal).
Tuesday 7 July 2015
Perfect: great ride this morning. Local beer, pretzel & TdF coverage this afternoon. Small nap between. Life is good!
Tuesday 7 July 2015

Took the macro lens out today. Limitless fun in a field of wildflowers Warning: kinky insect stuff going on here!

Another beautiful day up on the hill above where we're staying...
Sunday 5 July 2015
Can we just assume most days in July go: Get up, ride, relax & with a beer & enjoy the day's TdF stage? I hope so!
Sunday 5 July 2015
Had to change a spoke this morning. Which means... erm... had to actually clean the wheel to see what I was doing!
Saturday 4 July 2015
Looking down on Sankt Peter & the hills & fields around. Beautiful views this evening.
Saturday 4 July 2015
While on our evening walk. This bench has been here a while! Although view from here is worth a little discomfort...
Friday 3 July 2015
Meant to be hot today, but sat in shade & gentle breeze feel fine. Thermometer on shady porch nearby reads 34° Meh! #UsedToAussieSummers
Friday 3 July 2015
Back in the Black Forest, one of my fave cycling spots from our 2012 trip. Just as awesome as I recall & took some PRs. Still got it!
Friday 3 July 2015
It's going to be a stinker today so up early to ride. Just like Aus! With an almost-full-moon behind pine trees?
Thursday 2 July 2015
Treated to a rather amazing sunset for our first evening in the Black Forest. Sankt Peter to be precise.
Thursday 2 July 2015
View from Les Roches du Diable (Devil's Rock). Don't know where the name came from, it's a rather nice place!
Wednesday 1 July 2015
Last night in the Vosges: Full moon rising above a nearby ridge & the bar across the lake. Will miss this place.

Ducks on the lake. Sometimes they don't like to play nice. Bad ducks!

Short hike up to Roche des vieux chevaux (great views down to the site we're staying at) & Lac de Lispach.

No pics of ride today. A couple of the aftermath then Think I broke distance & climbing records this week. Yay!
Saturday 27 June 2015
Breakfast part deux. There was baguette, cheese & sausisson first, but wasn't as photogenic. Pastries are pretty
Friday 26 June 2015
More fantastic Vosges today. Rode all the way to top of 3rd highest peak here & hit up a vaguely well known col
Thursday 25 June 2015
So... we have this bubbly to drink but no champagne flutes. Problem? No... not really Yes... it's all class!
Wednesday 24 June 2015
Vosges & Haut-Rhin. Stopped few too many times for pictures, but can you blame me? Another stunning cycling paradise!
Wednesday 24 June 2015
Stuck the phone out of skylight above our bed not long after waking up & hit camera shutter. Looks like a nice day!
Tuesday 23 June 2015
Rainbow over Lac de Longemer. And the view a few minutes later. Wow! Loving this place!

Dear @google, how come you can sync 1000s of photos but can't manage few bytes needed to keep edit controls in sync? #NonDestructiveEditFail
Sunday 21 June 2015
Post ride refreshments. Despite rain & getting slightly lost (more km are good, right?) today no complaints at all
Sunday 21 June 2015
Lac de Longemer: what a spot! Roads here are awesome, but there's baguette & cheese to be eaten before any riding!

Tonight we find ourselves in the beautiful courtyard of an old German weingut. I'm rather enjoying the randomness
Wednesday 17 June 2015
Today's ride was here in the Odenwald region of Germany. Lots of quiet roads & rolling hills. Beautiful stuff
Monday 15 June 2015
Promised Pratiwi around lunchtime if we saw Asian place we could stop there. Saw one 30s later. It had a buffet. Now I can't move... burp!
Sunday 14 June 2015
Post ride beer. In a vineyard. Feels a little wrong, but, meh! Top beer recommendation BTW. Lot of variety here
Saturday 13 June 2015
Great spot tonight, between the vines just South of Frankfurt. Lovely evening too so can see the city to the North.
Saturday 13 June 2015
Popped out to grab a six pack This place claims to have 1,300 beers to choose from & I can believe it. Cheers!
Thursday 11 June 2015
More feathered friends! Gaggle of geese walk/doze right by our spot on the Rhine. Young still a tiny bit 'fluffy'.
Wednesday 10 June 2015
Out riding in Germany it's hard to find tap in public, so had to stop at bakery & ask for water. Tragic, really
Monday 8 June 2015
Pratiwi thinks coffee tastes better than beer. Poor misguided girl. Then again... more of the golden nectar for me I suppose! #Cheers

Few random scenes from Bullay, by the Mosel. Soooo quiet here
Sunday 7 June 2015
Couple of nice shots of this heron in next to our site today. It's always easy to entertain yourself with a camera.
Friday 5 June 2015
Sat by the Mosel at Bernkastel-Kues. Because it's a beautiful evening. And, you know, there's a free hotspot here
Friday 5 June 2015
It's someone's birthday, so off to the bright lights of Bernkastel-Kues we go. Whole town seems out in celebration!
Friday 5 June 2015
At last! Blue skies & warm in Europe! No thermal required! Today's ride back in Mosel region a cracker. #GoodTimes
