2nd day of my cycle tour in switzerland.

Aarua to Burgdorf cycle route no 8 and no 5 aare river route, and route no 44 --80klm

i feel like a rag now. today the morning was perfect the camera started working and balz gave me another camera too his 10 yrs sons. so now i have two cameras. for the time being no sharing photos as for now all my body parts are telling who they are sp my bum.

as the day started perfect with everything intact and the sun up after 10days lovely weather i think the summer just started. my freind offered me a better bike with 21 gear..wow got trilled and became greedy. left the 7 gear at aarua and took this bike. but the bike had lots of problems. the gear was so tight that i was cycling like a snail. maybe 8 klm per hour. and today was the longest day 80 klm... anyways i have reached and in one peice.

dagmar and family hosting me had lovely broken wheat then bread, cheese, fried cheese and beer.

today fell once yday once and today i lost my was once. so not bad. but now the cycle is repaired so i hope the ride to bern tomorrow will be good.

now off to bed

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.
