Mark Bingham replied to a comment by Tom Iarossi on costs

I was kind of surprised at the cost myself, especially when compared to the tour companies. They cost more than twice as much, and the only significant difference was that we carried our own stuff, which is something I kind of like doing anyway.

I appreciate the comments, Tom! Thanks for following along, and I'm looking forward to reading about your GAP/C&O, East coast, and Southern Tier rides!

Under seven grand for two people for two weeks is a bargain in this day and age, and you had first class accommodations and meals. Your one-client travel agency did a great job, and your journey was epic and inspiring.

And going with yout favorite riding partner is an irreplaceable experience. Plus you got to see Klaus!

Thanks for this journal.

Thank you for this. My wife and I strode that section of the path when we visited Koblenz ten years ago, and your journal is reminding me of that great trip.

Ouch! I would have mistaken that plant for mint.

Greg & I really like maps. He was looking for Bitburg, Germany (northwest of Trier) to see if it was near your route. He lived in Bitburg in his preteen years.

Thanks, Rich! Of course, I got help from other Cycleblazers from the Forum and elsewhere, so it was sort of a group effort. If you decide to do this one, I can send you the .gpx file we used.

He's an indelible impression kind of guy. It was a trip full of memories, and one of my most memorable experiences was 11 October 2008, the point at which I knew we'd be friends a long time:

Thank you, Mike! I appreciate you spending the time to read it, and to look at all of the food pictures. :-)

Thanks, Buddy! Maybe someday you could both make it over there and she could hang out in Paris (or Berlin or London) to do some shopping and visiting museums while you tour. A reasonable compromise?

Can't blame a guy for a little luxury while on a bike tour. Your luxuries provided some of the finest photos and commentary on this fine journal. The food looked amazing. I'll be watching to see how you re-adapt to sleeping on the ground in a tent on your next tour, which you alluded to on the previous page.

Lol, I've watched this as a joke on a candy camera show on German TV.

My memory is otherwise not so great! but your description of your time with Klaus made an indelible impression.
