Biking through Europe

Hello and welcome to our Blog. We are Timo and Daniel and doing a bike trip through Europe. Here you can read a bit about our travels and check out some pictures. The daily Blog posts will only be on the German site, but we will still try to update here for our international readers. 

By the way, Feel free to post on the Guest Book if you have any comments or things to say.

Today we can finally say that our Blog is bilingual. Although there is not much English Content, we are working on it. We have now left the Alps and Switzerland behind us. Yesterday we spent our first night on French soil. Yesterday was also the 5 week point of our journey, although it feels like it has been going on for a very long time. But it is still very fun and we look forward to jumping on our Bikes again tomorrow. The weather will hopefully get better the further South we go.

Greetings Germany, my name is Kyle I am a New Zealand cyclist  travelling from Rome to Lisbon and tonights celebrity guest. I was invited to write a few words from my perspective on todays highs and lows through coastal Spain.Todays adventures started from a grassy Plateau overlooking the calm Atlantic sea, the Spanish Sun rising almost to the same pace as our sunburnt legs stretched out of their sleeping bags. Folding, packing down and packing in our simple possesions, onto our backs,  we Rode down  half paved roads back into the shadowed valleys below. It wasn't long before the memories of our previous day reminded us, that we were in no way past the hills. Heaving kilos of biscuits, bananas and sun Lotion we ascended Mountains and descended  into new nameless towns for hours, while the sun rose higher in the blue skies, cooking our legs a little more red. Trent my New Zealand friend shared  stories about life back home and the secret  medicinal properties of his evening Tea tree oil routines. By midday we had past a countless amount of sunkissed Spaniards and weaved through bizarre  half completed property development before pulling into our dry  Patch  of  grassy Bliss.. soon to be called home for the night. soon discovering it was a hotbed of fleabit dogs running feral amongst this well kept Campground. The barking after the first four hours soon turned into a soothing Salsa inspired Party Mix Thanks to our festive neighbours. After a lengthy Beach session, the Sun began to melt into the Atlantic once again and Stretching our legs back we nestled into our nonadic pitched homes and called it another succcesful day on the road. Thank you  Germany for reading and thankyou  Timo and David for trying to teach Trent and I how to count to five in German.. With no real luck.

The interesting thing about travelling with Timo and Daniel is the little differences. One little difference is food. Whilst Kyle and I like to make Müesil for break fast, Baguettes Sandwiches for lunch, and dinner that include lots of vegetables, these Boys have a different apettite. Their diet falls into two categories: food that can be eaten instantly and food that is the easiest to make. Taste does not come into the equation. Tonight for example  they are a meal of Rice and white sauce. It looked like prison food. It is however a a true lesson in German efficiency and has fueled them effectively for over 5000km. however after seeing our dinner tonight the boys have accepted our invitation and will be eatting our cooking tomorrow night. 

Yours truly Trent the Kiwi
