BANTZENHEIM - Neuf-BrIsach - SUNDHOUSE 38 miles
Woke up this morning and it rained -a lot of it, all day long. However, we were well wrapped up in waterproofs, but in the end they did leak. In spite of this we had a wonderful ride through countryside, woods and alongside the Canal du Rhone au Rhine. Lots of wonderful smells, birdsong and the call of the cuckoo. We stopped for lunch in Biesheim where we had -as a consolation for bad weather- a culinary treat. On the menu was Cordon Bleu -one of our favourites- with a creamy white wine sauce and tiny mushrooms. It was as good as Lionel made it in the past, so that tells you a story.
We do see other Rhine Route cyclists, but usually the other way round :))much harder work! We chatted with a couple from Australia who sold all their belongings and are cycling for 3 years, they included this Rhine route. They had so much luggage that I wonder how on earth will they get up those hills, especially in Switzerland.
We arrived at our B&B at 4 in the afternoon. The owners actually gave us one of their Gites. It is a super place but...no wifi, so this post will have to be posted tomorrow. Also no pictures today.
