ok i apologise now for the very poor spelling this keyboardis absolutely rubbish so not my fault ok?
ok so we left st maria waving goodbye to the whisky bar and the place we hd called home for the lastfewdays. and when people say recovring fromdrinking is a uphill struggle they obviously didnt have in mid cycling p a muntain pass after 3 days of a great lack of activity...but we did have some encouragement in the form of the two rather socialble hitchikers guie tothe galaxy fanatcal swizz guys whom had been our companions in drink for the last few nights wavingto us outof the back of the bus and makingsome hand guestures that did make us want to catch their bus and make them cycle up the pass...and i think he hd his happy faceon as well...after this rather interesting startto the day and after limbing what seemd like a mountain just o get villages along we finally sawthe real pass that laidhad of us, however we did notsee the road hich would take us there but in hindsight that was probrly a good thing asif we had we might have sat at a bus stop and waited as all the buses rund there have bikeracks on the back ow tepting or us eh?but eventually after 1hr20 minutes odd we inally reached the top ofhe firstpass and it was a greatfeeing having a coffe in he restarant at 2100 meteres or so and even better thait nl took about 1hr to get back down as i went do then back up anthr 300 meters or so before fnally getting us there.tha night we tough it would be a god idea to have a drink so after buying a bottle of baileys ad finishing it hat night wedecided togo to sleep.
the next morningwe awoke and remmbered what we woudbe doing that day, cycling up yet another pass and on a sunday when we knew that not mch would be open but us being the ever sointellegent peole tht eare w carried on anyways ans we hadto leave as shane had used the hotel recption of the plce next to the touristenlagerthat we were staying in to cll home nd didntwant to pay for it....the day started well going downhill for abut 6km but we knew we would have to go back up and by god we did.passingsnowon theside of theroad an knowing tht we still had o go up another 200 metrs plus was anodd feeling to saythe least and when we did eventuallyreachthe top we met some rther confused cyclists,confusd because we hadgot to the top in 1hr 45 includingthe strt to th next town and with the amount o bags that we had on us and they were aying that they were tired without nay bags on teir specialist mountain climbingbies,cheecky buggers oh and by the way that pass gotto 2383 metrs climbing about 1000 altogether.going down was alot betteras it nly took 20minutes,no yu dont want t know but 40mph withoutpedalling isnt bd for us two eh?so we eventually found omewhere to sta in klosters in a littl b&b that we were the onlyoccupnts of so was nice,and think the daughte took a liking to shane hehe.finally leaving klosters we continued onour way, downhill sowards lake konstnz and the promise f a place to stay with a friend of y mums.but we knew tat we couldnt get there in one day so we were looking foranother place to stay.after finding therhein cycle path and flying aong thereinto a headwind we looked up to seea uge blck cloud forming above us.not good.but not as funny as the huge cloud that ws over liechenstein and not anywhere near switzerlan at the time, phe they dnt even hav a motorway how can they cll themselves a country...but after consulting the local grasskeeper we traveld from switzerlad through liechensteain in about 0 minutes into austri whereat border control weweregreeted by german speaking men who as soon as we sad we were engish just waved us through wih a smile and a gesture tat made us think they must be very accomadating to english people in this country.we arrived in feldkirch ina bit ofrain an staed their for thenight wtching german versions of jericho itsso fun toguess whats going on when you cant understand it.after crossing borders a total of 6times thatdaywe fell aslep quite easily.
ok this keyboard is really annoying m so ill leave it therefor he minute and might fish either tonight or in munich and cath up t where we arenow...
