It was, but I hurt today! Muscles that don't get used, parts that were frequently used as crash pads.

Such an amazing opportunity, living here! I woke up this morning and decided to travel four countries today, cycling in each and again Italy when I return. 5 country in 2 days! First up is Austria

Beyond the extended return trip through Switzerland, it was great. I did a short ride when I got back to make to 5 bike rides, 6 countries, two days and one tired man!

Another view from Austria, no idea what town

A church in Liechtenstein, Schaan

Rhine River overlooking Switzerland, which I crossed to cycle there as well, Buchs

Liechtenstein castle after dark, Vaduz

Small town Germany, Rhinebrücke, where I slept in the car and waited out rain. I also had to check an inner tube that got a pinch flat on the last trip

Hills in Cernay, France I didn't reach due to road work. I'm glad to see that crap happens not only in the States!

Small bar that was open at ten. I walked in thinking I'd get food. I worked out that they don't cook until 11. Twenty min wait, no problem. I got a bottle of oj and sat down. Everyone who walked in greeted everyone else, a strange thing to see from my perspective. Quarter after 11 I hadn't see the woman again. I dropped the 5€ bill in the table, since I didn't know how much it was, and left. McDonald's was the fall back so I could start a 6.5 hour drive.

Church in downtown Cernay

Swiss Alps. The A3 had road work as well, stopping traffic dead from a traffic light, and adding 90+ min to the trip!

Red traffic light on the main thoroughfare in the mountains. The ugliest thing I ever saw! No get around here

Almost out of Switzerland and back to Italy

And back to my current home city. I didn't want that last ride, but being that close to a goal meant I couldn't NOT do it. I got between 2 and 4 miles in each country, and lapel pins from two that had gift shops open.
