I think I mentioned that my original plans to travel north to England was via the French coast with a visit to Normandy.. This wasn’t going to work due to ridiculously bad weather, so I diverted to Switzerland.. good call!! Very happy I did! My next overnight stop in France, however, still welded some serious American history that I didn’t expect...
After I finished my bike service in France I made my way to a small town near Geneve Switzerland. I have friends here I met in Fiji a few years ago and they have invited me to stay. As I said, I am on a mission to go north, but this country is so beautiful… like SO beautiful, I stayed here two nights.. I won’t need to explain much as the photos will...
I’m running short on time and I need to get a move on through Spain and up into France. Problem is, I need service on the bike and desperately need a new rear tire! All those little stone streets in Portugal ate my tire right up and it’s completely bald. But there is no where around here to get a new bike tire, the kind I want anyway...
I did it!! Managed to get from Slovenia to Spain in record time! Came in through Italy via Monaco and France into Spain, and navigated my way to Barcelona easily to the ferry port to board with an hour to spare. As usual, the ferry to Palma de Mallorca is an overnight sailing, and an expensive one at that, so it’s deck chair space for me again. ...
