Getting Into A Rhythm

Its been six weeks now and I'm settling in to the lifestyle. Each day is is a mind expanding experience. The creature comforts such as shower, comfortable bed, etc that I was once used to are now an occassional luxury. Each day is limited only by our own decisions in each moment, leading us off down a new path of chance meetings and opportunities.

When I last blogged we were still in Belgium. We travelled through France to Switzerland and stayed with our WWF contact in Geneva where we took the opportunity to rest for a couple of days. The arrival to Geneva was suitably dramatic with a knee poppingly steep ascent of the Jura Ridgeway and a bitterly cold heart-in-mouth nighttime descent, with view over moonlight alps, towards an illuminated buzzing Geneva.

Turn On, Tune in and Pedal On

Another day on the road. I drink a large coffee, pack the trailer and panniers pedal on to the next big adventure. Each new experience is challenging my preconceptions and leaving me with an excitement and anticipation for the next one.

The most difficult thing so far is the challenge of working in a team and sharing responsibilities as a group, taking into account three sets of ideas. However it is ultimately a very rewarding experience.

What is completely unexpected is the amount of hospitality we have received.
