So Orca suggested a holiday thread, I like that idea, I'll start with a couple of pics from my recent tour de Europe:
We started in London, yes that's about as un-londonish as you can get in a picture, but we picked the hottest week of the year to be there
Next up was Belgium, it was blooming beautiful
On to Germany, as you can see, we only do 5 star accommodation
From Germany we quickly crossed into Austria, where it was us, the bikes and the Danube
Except when we weren't near the Danube, taking the road less travelled
We usually made our way back to the river again though
My wife says this is a dork on a bike. But this dork never burnt his face or neck. Oh yes, we washed clothes every day, so we always had something hanging on the front or back of the bike to dry out.
On one of the days we past by a ferry without noticing. It meant that a 60km day ended up being an 80km a day. Those are tiring!
Melk, probably the highlight of the trip, and we never even knew there was anything to see there until we arrived
it was an amazingly good surprise.
Apparently this place had the best dessert my wife has ever tasted. Something like a dumpling soaked in syrup with cooked peach inside. If you're on a biking holiday you have a license to each yummy food.
We cycled up to Vienna, spent a couple of days there and then took a train to Budapest.
The perfect cure for sore muscles is a day spent in the thermal baths
