2009: Trip
Report |
|
|
We continued along the Rhine. The
flat and well marked bicycle path ran along the side
of the lakes and the train track. |
|
| The views of the lake are magnificent.
We paused at a modest cafe for a double espresso and were
shocked by the price. Coffee can be ridiculously expensive
in Switzerland, so if you are on a tight budget check
before committing. |

|
We stopped for an excellent lunch at the Krone ‘Romantik’
hotel in the charming village of Gottlieben, don’t
bypass it.
The food and service were good and the price reasonable.
If our schedule had allowed it we would have stayed
over, but we had to move on.

Our rented apartment was in the
village of Grub above Rorschach. We hadn’t realized
that it was 400 metres above and we pushed the loaded
bikes 6km up the 18% hill, arriving after 8pm in full
darkness.
We couldn’t see our lodgings, but when the blue
dot of the GPS was on top of it Simone saw us through
her window and came to greet us.
