Lesotho Day 8 MaSoba Soba (Sani Pass Top) to Sani Pass Bottom
I started the day with a hearty breakfast at the Masoba Soba guesthouse. There was a short ride to the Lesotho Border control. The formalities were completed fast. The one border post official had a short exchange of pleasentries in German with me
. As I started down I passed the, apparently, highest pub…

Lesotho Day 7 Mokhotlong to MaSoba Soba (Sani Pass Top)
I once again got off to a early start, at sunrise, from the Mantsebo Guesthouse after a good night sleep. I met a very nice American couple with their South African guide at dinner the previous evening. The guesthouse was very nice and as it was not in the centre of town quite peaceful. This…

Lesotho Day 6 Thaba Tseka to Mokhotlong
The taxi picked me up at my Guesthouse at about 4.45. We the drove back and forward through town looking for the other people that he was taking. Eventually we got off to the trip. The road was not much better than the trails I had been riding the previous days. The driver was excellent.…

Lesotho Day 5 Ha Mohloka to Mantsonyane / Thaba Tseka
I keep needing to repeat myself, the day greeted me with spectacular sunrise and views, as well as a shooting star. I got off to an early start. All the teachers were still asleep so I did not have the opportunity to say goodbye. However not far from the school I met an old man…

Lesotho Day 4 Semongkong Lodge to Ha Mohloka
The day started early at sunrise as there was rain predicted for 11.00. It was another wonderful sunrise. It was a little of a challenge to get onto the correct path. The path I am following is the delivery trail that is used by horsemen with donkeys that take the shopping orders to the remote…

Lesotho Day 3 Lehonyeling guest house to Semongkong Lodge
I decided to take a bit of a rest today I asked Annemarie and Irene if they could pick me up about 10 km from where I stayed. The sunrise shone directly into my door. There was a big placid dog sleeping by my door and the chickens kept threatening to come into the room.…

Lesotho Day 2 Qacha’s nek to Lehonyeling guest house
Quite an interesting day. It started off cool but not uncomfortable. The scenery was spectacular. Most of the day I had the road to myself. The peace and quiet is lovely. The problem with the scenery you want to stop all the time. I had a lovely lunch on the bank of the Senqu (Orange)…

Lesotho: Day 1 Matatiele to Qacha’s nek
The most of the trip was in South Africa. On my way to Matatiele I lost my cell phone holder and realise I left my fleece jacket in Durban. Luckily today was easy navigating so it didn’t impact the ride. The day started a the Resthaven Guest House in Matatiele. The hosts Philip & Elrita…

Day 8 Time to go home
All in all it was a very enjoyable 8 Days. I am so grateful that I am able to do something like this. I met a number of interesting people and had long, sometimes philosophical, chats with them. Most were positive, but I spoke my mind to a couple. The places where I / we…

Day 7 Törbel to Zermatt
The final stage. The day started with an easy wind down the road to Milbach. In contrast to the other days the climb from Milbach to Zermatt was a gentle climb of 645m over around 30km. Most of the ride was on cycling paths and mountain bike single trails. The single trails were very rocky…

Day 6 Kandersteg to Törbel
I started the Day getting to the Starting point Kandersteg from my accommodation in Spiez. At Kandersteg I took a cable car up to Sunnbühl. It was going to be a very hot day again. The first cycling section was around the tree border height and above. The rock formations were very interesting you can…

Day 5 Spiez to Kandersteg
Today was a tough one, the distance and ascent were not the problem but the heat I had an average temperature of 33 and a max of 42 and min of 28. None the less it was another excellent day starting at the large lake Thun and cycling up alongside rivers into the mountains. After…

Day 4 Grindelwald to Spiez
Another spectacular day I started as early as possible because the weather was predicted to be warm. The first 3 hours was a climb of just over 1000m. The Eiger looked down on me the whole way. After a relaxed lunch at Klein-Scheidegg I had a long downhill ride to a pretty little town called…

Day 3 Grindelwald no cycle day
Today Annemarie and I went up the Jungfraujoch. The weather was great. Jungfraujoch is 3460m high. We had fabulous views of the Eiger, Eiger glacier and Aletsch glacier. ps. The live tracking should work from tomorrow as I now have a Swiss sim.

Day 2 Meiringen to Grindelwald
Today I decided to do more then just cycle. The cycling part was only 25 km and about 1500m ascent so I did 2 short 1 hour hikes. The first was in Meiringen to the Reichenbach falls. It is featured in the last Sherlock Holmes book. Sherlock is believed to have fallen down here. I…
