Today started off a bit ominously with L waking me because he was scared of the thunder. Thunder and lightning with the rain pouring down. Not the best way to wake up on a biking day. - Thankfully by 9ish it had mostly stopped. It did a brief dump on us after we got the… Continue reading Köln to Duisburg, Germany: Cycling Day 12

Bonn to Köln, Germany: Cycling Day 11
Since Ty has learned to work the credit cards and their benefits he's managed to get us both Dimond Hilton status. This allowed us to get breakfast for free at the hotel. Otherwise it's like $30 per person and we're way too cheap to spend that! 😆 Oh my goodness this was maybe the most… Continue reading Bonn to Köln, Germany: Cycling Day 11
Strasbourg, France to Karlsruhe, Germany: Cycling Day 7
Same as it ever was, we got up, had some breakfast, and loaded up our bikes. ☺️ R's cough was sounding particularly bad this morning, so she took the first shift in the chariot. We rode out of Strasbourg and into the countryside. It was a pretty uneventful but long day on the bikes. Over… Continue reading Strasbourg, France to Karlsruhe, Germany: Cycling Day 7
Strasbourg, France: Adventure Day
This was our first apartment with actual curtains. So I was hoping we'd sleep in a bit. But up at our usual 6:30am 🙄 We lazed around a bit then headed out the door about 8ish. Our plan was to walk around and enjoy the city before attending mass at the Notre Dame Cathedral of… Continue reading Strasbourg, France: Adventure Day
Stein am Rhein, Switzerland to Waldshut, Germany: Cycling Adventure Day 3
Well we woke up and guess what, it was raining still! It didn't seem too terribly bad so we decided to try biking in it. Ty would not only be carrying all the camping gear, he would also pull both the kids in the chariot so they could stay dry. We had a wonderful breakfast… Continue reading Stein am Rhein, Switzerland to Waldshut, Germany: Cycling Adventure Day 3
St. Margrethen to Stein am Rhein, Switzerland: A Non-cycling Day
Last night was not the greatest. We slept in a tent which is alway a bit iffy for sleep. Then the kids were both restless. Numerous times L would just sit up and need to be coaxed into lying down again. Weirdo. Then there was the rain. Several times it was coming down really hard… Continue reading St. Margrethen to Stein am Rhein, Switzerland: A Non-cycling Day
Zürich to St Margrethen, Switzerland: Cycling Day 2
It was another jet lag morning. 🤪 The kids and Ty were up at 3am. I wasn't feeling good so I fought for more sleep till 6. Ty had us mostly packed up and ready to go when I finally got up. We had a grocery store breakfast in the room and left for the… Continue reading Zürich to St Margrethen, Switzerland: Cycling Day 2
Captain Cook to Hilo: Bike Adventure Day 7
We had a decent night sleep but since most of the windows didn't have blinds we woke up with the sun. Thankfully the host agreed to help us get back up the hill. Otherwise it would have taken us a few hours and multiple trips to walk all our stuff up. The kids and I,… Continue reading Captain Cook to Hilo: Bike Adventure Day 7
Naahelu to Captain Cook, HI: Bike Adventure Day 6
Well today was not my favorite. It started off nicely. The bed and breakfast we stayed at was so beautiful and peaceful. The kids loved playing ping pong and air hockey. The host showed us some home footage of the volcano eruption last year. Then we took off about 10am and it immediately sucked. As… Continue reading Naahelu to Captain Cook, HI: Bike Adventure Day 6
Volcano to Naahelu, HI: Bike Adventure Day 5
We decided to have a lazy morning in our rental house. It was really nice to wake up at 6:30 🙄 and not rush out the door. We finally left around 11 and of course it was drizzling. R woke up still sounding awful so we knew she was just going to hang in the… Continue reading Volcano to Naahelu, HI: Bike Adventure Day 5
