Patrick has "chipmunk cheeks." 😂 Do you warn him before you take a photo or is it always, "the element of surprise?"

Looks like the mistletoe has considerably weakened that tree.

I love this....have you noticed that for the past few days for the first time my arms andd legs have been uncovered....no one would believe I've been on a bike for 4 months. Before this past week my bike tan was my fingers below the knuckles and my wrists

Maybe he was the one in charge of all the lock keepers

A tip for Patrick in the future. It’s not really that hard most places to find a place to squat and take a load off. Rachel doesn’t really need to carry one along for you.

Maybe not the best choice then. Think of all the extra outfits Rachel could have brought long instead!

That’s amazing. I’m thinking that wouldn’t work well in Albania or Montenegro, even with the e-assist.

I don’t think that’s a lock keeper’s house. Do the others all look like this one too?

We've not found any small cafes in the villages we've gone through. The two that we did find had no pastries or offerings for breakfast

In small cafés they usually offer a croisant at your coffee if you ask.

Looks like it might be an Aesculapian rat snake. Definitely not a viper.

Totally agree, thanks. It made the ride so much more "balanced" and I didn't need to worry about keeping up. R
