Passed this mad storm front on the way home. Threw in some 'extreme' processing too. We managed to stay dry, BTW! 
Wednesday 29 August 2012
Passing by St Blasien. Cathedral here has loads of shiny marble under it's huge dome. Little village is pretty too.
Wednesday 29 August 2012
Have just discovered we will be passing right by http://www.eurobike-show.com/ (world's largest bike show) on Saturday (public day). Pitstop! 
Tuesday 28 August 2012
Out riding today ran out of water twice & cramped up bottom of final climb: 7km/400m to home with no water & no power... Good times!
Monday 27 August 2012
Freiburg: on a sunny afternoon feels like a really vibrant place. Lots of young folk enjoying life... us included?
Monday 27 August 2012
Hike to Feldberg (highest peak in the Black Forest) & Feldsee (little lake). Very nice, if a bit chilly to start.
Monday 27 August 2012
Good morning Totdnauburg! Morning view from our terrace in the Black Forest. Love it!
Sunday 26 August 2012
Another café stop. Time to compare & contrast Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte As we walked a small treat for me too
Sunday 26 August 2012
Dropped into Waldkirch, but have to admit that there's not much to see here. This street is pretty enough though.
Sunday 26 August 2012
When in the Black Forest... 
Wonderful lunch in Sankt Peter. Cake so unstable takes two to cut the last slice!
Sunday 26 August 2012
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!
Friday 24 August 2012
@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!
