Stein am Rhine, Switzerland to Mühlheim an der Donau, Germany

If this is Tuesday, this must be Germany.  We had opportunity to be confused the last few days as we crossed back and forth 4 to 5 times.  Now we are in Germany for the next 10 days.

Today was the big climb day.  We covered 40 miles, but climbed ascended 3000 feet.  We crossed from the Rhine Val9ley to the Danube. The hard part was at times, we were on a 15% slope.

Shots of schnapps upon arrival.  We were celebrating surviving the climb

That was a long hill

Fog over the Rhine

Things cleared up by the time we reached the Bodensee 

From near the top of the hill


At the top.  Julie and Lori are celebrating their bikes from Chronometro bike shop in Madison.  Those bikes have traveled a long way and performed brilliantly (so did Julie and Lori on the hills)

Interesting route today

Gallipoli

Today was a bonus day.  We decided to do a day trip to the Gallipoli Peninsula.  That is where an important WWI battle was fought in 1915.  ...
