Grien



This afternoon I am sitting in a very dark cyber cafe. They have great cheap internet though (€1,70 for 30 min). And skype, but I cant remember our password...

We biked for about an hour this morning through beautiful countryside. No hills to speak of.

Today I am sweep. This means I am always the last person biking. If there is a breakdown, stuck at a traffic light, etc. I come last. They also have a method of posting corners. When the leader makes a turn, she leaves the person behind her as a corner to mark the way to go until the sweep comes and tells them to go ahead. It works quite well and I am enjoying my turn as sweep to relax and go as fast as the slowest person:

Its much warmer today and everyone is in shorts and a t shirt. We arrived at a china factory, which the city of Grien is known for their fine china. We saw how the china is made and hand painted, etc., then browsed the shop and are now on our own for lunch. Signa spent the day on the barge today as she was a little tired from yesterday: We took a long walk after dinner on the Pont Canal (which I now know means bridge canal) and she was only wearing sandals. So I am really on my own today which is quite nice.

I want to figure out how to post pictures while I can before my time runs out...

27 miles today
