The amazing Dolomiti
After waving good bye to Markus and little Florin we started heading up the mountain that would entertain us most of our morning... After a series of zig zags we wiggled our way up and soon gained an altitude that would provide us with views over the Bolzano valley and the mountains around. As we … Continue reading The amazing Dolomiti
Through the Alps to the Dolomites
As we bid farewell to Pedro's parents, with the songs of Sound of Music going through our heads, we pondered our next moves. It was 16h, and ordinarily we would start looking for a camping spot in the next hour or so (an hour and a half before sunset). Extending our rest days a few hours more, … Continue reading Through the Alps to the Dolomites
Füssen (or how to eat a lot of cake)
Along the road we were, minding our own cycling when all of the sudden, out of nowhere, who do we find?? The nice old couple from Riaño!! What were the odds??! Well... quite a few since in fact they are my parents and it was my birthday the next day and we had arranged to … Continue reading Füssen (or how to eat a lot of cake)
Bavarian hospitality
We left France with our bags full of apples and any remaining space packed with walnuts that we had picked up along the Rhine. It was a windy day and everyone and their dog seemed to be out collecting the shelled treats that had been blown to the floor. We were heading to the home … Continue reading Bavarian hospitality
Border hopping
After waving goodbye to our friends in cosy Cusy, our legs soon remembered their task of pedaling us and our heavy bicycles around. A week of plenty of picnics and being more or less stationery was just enough time for us to be rested, but happy to be once again rolling free. The landscape continued … Continue reading Border hopping
Cosy at Cusy
Shortly before we left Lisbon, Kilian and Marta, climbing, camping, slackline, picnic and overall adventure buddies, left Lisbon to live in Germany. A cross-Europe connection was made and a pin point was placed on our route map. As soon as we told them about our plans, we all had set in our minds that we … Continue reading Cosy at Cusy
Sharing a table instead of a road
Our next aim was Annecy region where we had arranged to meet two good old friends that also previously lived in Lisbon and were now living in Germany. To get there, we planned to pass by Grenoble using some of the existing cycling routes along the Rhone and the Isére rivers. The upcoming days would … Continue reading Sharing a table instead of a road
Into the land of cheese (and figs)
It took a great effort to evict ourselves from the comfort and homeliness of Ian and Mamiko's place, but it had to be done... Not least to give them their space back before their next innundation of guests! We decided to catch a train North to save cycling through the madness of Barcelona city, and … Continue reading Into the land of cheese (and figs)
The Crowleys : Barcelona branch
The heatwave finally broke with a tropical downpour as we skirted round the edge of Barcelona and towards the Mediterranean coast, to the home of my cousin Ian and family - The Barcelona branch of the Crowley's. The Crowleys have a habit of dispersing themselves around the globe, preferably not in the same country as … Continue reading The Crowleys : Barcelona branch
