In August 2020 Marina and I cycled from the Bodensee through Austria and Liechtenstein to Switzerland where we spent most of our bike tour. The mountains and lakes are two things we can’t get enough of and accessing both by bike is a dream!
Here are 5 minutes of our 10 day trip cycling, visiting friends and family and enjoying life on the road…
On a scale of one to ten how excited are you i’m 10 excited like two or three hours of cycling it does not feel like we’ve uh to go over a boarder already but there we go we just had a weird experience do you want to tell we were swimming by the river
