21st june 2010-1st day of my cycle dairy

FISRT day of my cycle tour in switzerland.

Zurich to Aarua cycle route no 66 and no 5, 55klm


as ususal luck was not with me sp in the morning

i took out my cycle which was completely dressed up. came out of the appartment and the door got locked-- with all my things inside. so i stood outside for two hours for somebody to open the main door. got delayed. that means one watercolour less.

ok on the road finding the route it is all marked but still it is difficult. in villages they speak only german and i only know my indian english. still managed well with sign language.

next tragedy the camera just decided not to work. full night charged the battery. first i thought i dint bring the battery then found it then dint find the memory chip that i found and then the camera says no will not open. sigh.

now in freinds place thought i will charge but now found out i forgot my charger -- so no fotos. now the documentation is only the water colour.

did 3 water colour in baden.

the landscape is mind blowing iching to photograph but i think is a good excercise to stop going click click like the japanese.

suddenly started cycling on the motor way and i was stopped by two gentlemen who got scared for me and made me go back all the way and find my route.

lost two times but still could find meet the route in the end.

sadhyo and blaz hosting dinner tonight.

tomorrow to burgdorf snother 60klm which might become 70 if i get lost.
