Holy Swiss balls! Its Switzerland!
I am in Beil in northwestern Switzerland. I went from Colmar across the Rhine which has a long bike path, and eventually made it to Basel. It turns out that Switzerland is a paradise for cyclists and campers because it has an excellent network, very well signalled, and they give out free maps and guides to it all, so I decided to stay a while. I have travelled south through the lower foothills of the Alps, but they are still mountains by my standards. Will now head west and back into France after a couple of days ambling through the lower parts of the Alps. Its funny how the language will change from French to German from town to town here. It also makes me realise how good my French is compared to my German. Also swiss food is a lot crummier than French. If they could just combine the Swiss cycle networks and French bakeries and restaurants, THAT would be a nice place to visit.
