We are thinking we'll have to go back again and do the ride on a warm, sunny day. It would be spectacular!

Yes! We only saw the one nest on this trip. In the past, we've seen many more. Wonder what's happened to them??

Nope. We used our Fraser Health wallet cards the entire trip. They were more valuable than our passports!

I thought they were great, too! And very handy to keep the bugs out of your eyes, I'm sure. Mother Nature is quite the gal!

Ha ha ha! Took us many fields of corn to figure it out!

Oh, this is what’s going on here! We saw the same scenario a few days ago when we were watching the sacred ibises and couldn’t figure out what these two vehicles at the edge of the field were doing together.

I love pig’s ears. The one on the right looks like she has bangs. Very fetching.

Did you have to convert your Canadian vaccination records to an EU version?

Looks like a beautiful area. Too bad about the weather but kudos for not taking the train! We were biking on that day, too, and I found it very cold where we were near Lake Constance.

Wow! I’m surprised there’s still a stork around. How lucky!

Glad to see you found coffee and shelter for awhile.

It’s nice to see this country again, even on a grey day like this. We biked through here an the fall on our way from Hungary to Graz long ago and thought it was beautiful.

I’m worn out thinking about you day! A note you might consider for the future though: Bike Friday carries/sells grommets to use as adaptors so you can use a presta valve on their rims. We’ve started carrying them in the tool kit because it’s nearly impossible to find schraeder valves in Europe in our experience.

What an ordeal you had getting to Graz but it’s good you escaped the rain.

I’m curious what you are carrying to document your vaccination status. Your digital BC Vaccine Card? The paper one issued when you got your jab? Canada still doesn’t have a national certificate.
