Summary Post: Switzerland

May 9th, 2012 by DC

Switzerland was wet and cloudy, but I still rode on.. Here’s the summary!

I didn’t see a lot of the sun in Switzerland. I think I’ll have to go back sometime in the future to go hiking and biking in the Alps. Maybe with a mountainbike so I can really explore those hills!

Days in country: 13
Days riding: 8
Kilometres ridden: 580 km (longest day 97km)
Running total (nearest 10km): 1720km
Accom cost: ~280 Euro (expensive hostels as I couldn’t be bothered camping in the rain for 2 weeks)
Other costs: ~264 Euro (Half of which was bike stuff- a new wheel and lots of other tools)
Flats: 3 (rear- all after getting the new wheel)
Days I saw the sun in those 13 days: 3
Favourite food/drink: Raclette- mmm, grilled cheese with potatoes!
0 nights in campgrounds, 6 nights in a hostel and 7 nights with Warmshowers hosts/kiwi’s living abroad.
Favourite photo: Road to Zurich. This sums up Switzerland for me- hilly countryside with great cycle paths!
