We headed out at 8:30 and took an 1 hr 15 min boat ride to Morat. That was really our only choice. I guess I should say that we could have taken the train but we haven't done the boat ride and we can catch the boat right across the street. This boat was especially for the slow-up. There were quite a few bikes.
It was overcast and we had a few sprinkles.
It was fun to see our place from the lake. It is the one with all the trees in front of it.
Are we ready for a 17 mile bike ride????????
Of course the Alps looked so pretty.
Devin snapped a good picture of a bridge in the canal that is between the 2 lakes. His class is studying bridges at the moment.
We knew it was going to be busy but this was something else. 40,000 people were expected. Kate went about a 1/2 mile on her tricycle before Jason ended up pulling her with a rope.
There were quite a few roller bladers which surprised me. They go pretty fast. This is a good picture that shows the amount of people. It was like this the whole way.
Jason and Kate got quite a few looks with smiles. We didn't see anyone else with the rope hook-up. Kate did really well. She didn't ride the brake too much. Going down hill was a little bit scary for her and for me to watch.
We were surprised to see buffalo.
It took us about 4 hours and we didn't make it completely around. We had a good time. Lucas lost us not too long after we started. He kept riding ahead of us and waiting. Well he didn't see us and we didn't see him. Thankfully, our friends the Taylors were behind us and they picked him up. He ended up riding with them the whole way. We weren't too happy with him, especially dad.
We didn't stop very much and when we did it wasn't for very long. On our boat ride home we got ourselves some pommes frites (french fries) and some pop served in wine glasses.
I had to add this picture of J's biking gloves. As we were riding, Kate asked Jason if Grandma Marchiondo crocheted those gloves for him. It was a nice laugh for us.
