Your photos are stunning! You sure are tough. You mentioning leaving a wet spot on a seat cushion reminded me of when we climbed Col de Madeleine in the French Alps. The weather was fine but I got so sweaty by the time we reached the summit that I took my exercise bra off in the cafe and put it on the wood stove to dry and left it behind. I’m sorry to see the end of your tour but look forward to following your future tours!

But I can envision it in use by a team of Italian acrobats, pulling crazy stunts (as if riding the dang thing to begin with doesn't count as a "crazy stunt") in a parade.
The Austrian version of Rivendell, maybe?

That’s amazing that you crossed paths with Rich and Robin. Too bad you didn’t get to meet them. We had a meet up with them and really enjoyed visiting with them. I didn’t realize until now that you are already done with the tour and posting after the fact. It’s amazing you could remember so much!
