Berne to Lavigny.
Dear friends.
I’m on the road again. This time I’ll try to bike from Berne to Nice. Not the easy way along the Rhone valley and not the directissima but somewhere in between.
Started from Berne around 8am. It was cool with about 12 degrees. Although I used a new app to guide me the first 15km I knew, Afterwards, it started going up and down in an unrelenting matter. I got the impression the app wanted to show me every hill on the way! It took a completely different route from the official bike tours. Sometimes there was a little too much traffic. After about 55km the bike computer announced we were approaching the first of 18 climbs! WHAT!! First !! And 18 more to go! Up it went in the slowly rising temperatures. I drove through a lot of small towns. It is interesting to see how the architecture changes. There were towns where everything was in perfect order and next one was old and very.
Finally, arrived at the hotel at 16h.
I don’t know what they are drying in there. Remark: it is tobacco leaves. Thanks Georges!
