Sunday 30 May 2010 Wil to Flaach

Sunday 30 May 2010 Wil to Flaach 61km

A quick entry today as I haven't uploaded photos yet and dont have much time on this Internet

It was raining when we woke up, it was raining when we had breakfast, it was raining when we packed up and it was raining when we left, it was raining when we stopped for a cuppa at a nice cafe but by 1 or 2pm it slowed to a fine drizzle and then by about 4pm it had pretty much stopped. Not the best days cycling in the world but you have to take the good with the bad.

We had some more good climbs today, if 'good' is the right word.  Not as steep as the English hills but pretty long.  Very very nice scenery though.  The green of the forest is really intense.

When we arrived at the campground we met a girl from the Netherlands who had a fright last night.  Some one threw her bike on her tent while she was sleeping.....she was very shaken up, still is.  Police called, tent broken, bike OK, she is physically OK but pretty nervous.  She is cycling alone to Rome and is now on the hunt for a new tent and is continuing on her way.  Pretty scary stuff.

Hopefully not so much rain tomorrow but we will ride on regardless.
