Our 2024 tour season has come to an end and we say farewell to our ‘home from home’ Iris as she heads to the wharf for some well deserved TLC and her 5 year inspection after keeping us cosy all season long.

Waving when barge and cyclists meet up! If you have great eyes you can see me (Lenny) outside the wheelhouse waving back to Rikko.

Tomorrow is the last day of cycling in the 2024 season!

It's been such a great year. We welcomed old and new guests, and our good old IRIS offered a home away from home to all. Our crew and guides gave their best to make sure you had a wonderful time. And you came and you were all ready to be out here and to make the most of it.

Many of you will be back with us in the future. We are already looking forward to that.

Go with the flow! We wish you tailwinds and smooth paths.

Today the Cycle Summit in Bern, Switzerland, started! A yearly event for cycle tour companies, agents, touroperators. We started with a cycle trip from Bern to Thun. Tonight we have dinner at the Casino Bern and tomorrow we will have meetings with each other.
I only have visited one of the Summits years ago, and that was the start of our Norwegian Fjords Tour and the Danube bike and cruise tour! I wonder what will happen this year!

Our tour from Passau to Salzburg ends tomorrow. 17 guests had great weather, lovely rides, loved the hotels and were very happy to join us.
No Vienna or Budapest, no sailing. But we made the best of it. Now all that's left to do is say goodbye, load our bikes on the trailer and go home. We miss everybody already. Canceling a trip is NO FUN. So happy that we could make a tour ready to go in just 48 hours! Love our team, we did a great job. Thank you dear guests for the faith put in us to pull this off.

24th of September, on the German/Austrian Border

Our tour is nearly finished. It has been a great week. A small group of good cyclists who mastered a long ride with many hills: gear down, max support. The sun was shining all day, the afternoon icecream became a necessity, and we all had a great time. After our ride today, at the hotel Gut Edermann in Teisendorf, we could swim in a pond, and an indoor swimmingpool and go into the sauna. Tomorrow we will do the last km's before we each go our own way, funny enough everybody is going to continue cycling in Europe.
And chances are high that we will meet up again next year, in New Zealand. In November. Stay tuned for more about that!

Our Van has a wonderful view over the Tegernsee as well. (left in the picture, under the tree)
This is a stunning location, hotel Luitpold.
This same lake offered us a great place for the last stop during our ride from Schlehdorf via Bad Tölz to Tegernsee. And yes, great weather.

04/09/2024

Today we included a visit of the Neuschwanstein Castle in Füssen, or a longer bike ride to Oberammergau. Again a great sunny day, with a nice locally made icecream to top it of!

03/09/2024

This has been a day to remember. 63 km of ups and downs, mastered with our Gazelle E-bikes, great views, lovely countryroads and a beautiful hotel with an infinity pool.

Norwegian Fjords cycling trip! Day 7 last day of cycling: Urnes to Skjolden.

This was the wettest day if the week, but despite that a great trip!
The little ferry brought us from Solvorn, hotel Wallaker, to the stavekjirken of Urnes. Local guides had great stories. Then, halfway, there is a nice cafe with waffels. Some of the group hiked up to the waterfall. Well done! The last ride took us through pitchdark tunnels, no big deal with our lights and cycling as a group!
And then, our farewell dinner with Merete and Ingvar at the beautifully located Skjolden Hotel.
Tomorrow the last day, no cycling, but sightseeing

Fjaerland to Solvorn. DAY 6

We visited a goatfarm today. First we went up to the Anastølen, named after a woman who worked on the summerfarm, but tragically died when trying to get to kjjaeresten hennes = the man she loved, who worked on another farm. She needed to cross a river, but drowned.
Her name was Ana. Støl is the word for summerfarm. The goats there between Mai and the beginning of September.
On this farm they sell the main part to TIDE, a big company delivering to many supermarkets.
But they also make their own goatcheeses that we got to taste! Brunost and salad cheeses = ( feta).

The ride to and from the summerfarm was wonderful.
