Behind door number 2 is the canal path that runs from Bruges to Ghent in Belgium. would definitely recommend this for cyclists of all abilities.
A healthier option..?
It’s not often on a cycle trip you take the healthier food option, but chocolate advent calendars are hard to come by in Albania.
As an alternative, we will be posting five Top 5s of our trip so far, from now until Christmas Day. (Sorry to my Mum who doesn’t think advent calendars should include Christmas Day).
First to feature are our favourite off-road cycle routes. These have become less common the further south we have cycled so expect the early weeks to feature heavily. We may have forgotten some stretches of road on them so this is not a reliable resource for planning your elderly relatives’ cycle holidays.
#5 Traffic free cycle routes 1st December
Vianden to the Moselle, Luxembourg. Cute towns, pretty scenery, great surface, well-kept picnic spots. Lovely.
Yes, that is a Swiss Army knife made entirely of different coloured pumpkins…
Pumpkin love knows no bounds in Switzerland. Most of the pictures below are from a shopping centre in Zug. There were more pumpkins than could ever fit in a camera view, including hundreds labelled with varyingly inappropriate names. The other awesome thing about this shopping centre was that in the supermarket a man was giving out free doughnuts. It’s like Zug knew we we were coming and needed food and entertainment.
Happy Halloween everyone!
